Here at East-Man Outfitting, you can choose from a few different hunt packages. We offer a 6-day inclusive package. All accommodations, license and allocation fees, local transportation, field dressing and guide fees are included. We can also custom build a hunt for you. 3-6 days, with or without meals are also available. This works well for the hunter that just can’t get away for as long as he or she would like. Our cabin has a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own meals for a “do-it-yourself approach”.

 

We are the ONLY outfitter in an almost 300 square mile BOW-ONLY ZONE. You do not have to apply for a license, I have an allocation with 16 non-resident tags ( ie; I supply the tag). We have dozens of stand sites, both quality ladders and hangers set on over 16 000 acres of private and crown land. Our GHA is the only true BOW-ONLY ZONE in Manitoba, which has been that way for over 40 years. The area is also closed to resident gun hunting. No gun hunting means low pressure which makes it a great place to harvest a trophy deer with a bow. With only 3000 archery deer tags sold in the entire province each year, your chances of seeing another hunter are slim.

 

Our season runs from the last Monday in August until the first Sunday of  December. Our preference is to have you in the woods from the latter part of October through the first couple weeks of November. Our rut peaks around November 9th-14th. Early season also holds great opportunity for a velvet buck in late August to through the first week of September.

 

Whatever time in the fall you choose, we have you covered. You can make sure your bows are as on as when you left home with our 3-D archery range complete with elevated stands.
