Incredible Biodiversity
Sandhill crane hunting is one of Manitoba’s most unique migratory bird hunting experiences. Known for their sharp eyesight, wary behaviour, and distinctive calls, sandhill cranes offer a different challenge than traditional duck or goose hunting.
Birdtail Waterfowl offers guided sandhill crane hunts for hunters looking to experience Manitoba’s migration, open-country habitat, and world-class waterfowl opportunities with an experienced local team.
Yes. Sandhill cranes are listed as a migratory game bird with open seasons in Manitoba, but hunters must follow current federal and provincial regulations, including licensing, season dates, bag limits, possession limits, and any zone-specific rules. Always confirm the current year’s regulations before hunting.
Sandhill cranes are especially alert birds with strong eyesight and cautious behaviour. Crane hunting often requires careful scouting, excellent concealment, realistic decoy placement, and patience. Many hunters enjoy crane hunting because it adds a different challenge to a Manitoba waterfowl trip.
Birdtail Waterfowl offers guided hunting experiences with package options that may include lodging, meals, and other trip details depending on availability and the hunt being booked. Contact us to confirm what is included with your preferred dates and group size.

Hunting Where the Birds Want to Be
There’s a difference between hunting birds, and hunting where birds naturally want to be. In waterfowl hunting, success is often less about forcing the situation and more about positioning yourself in the right place at the right time.
