Just spoke to MWF representatives. The issues is as follows.
- Manitoba outfitters mist be Manitoba residents - full stop. (as opposed to Alberta which is a free-for-all).
- Some US outfitters have recently (last year or two) started getting around this by buying good land for migratory shooting, and inviting "US friends" to shoot on it for the full migratory season, bypassing the outfitter rules.
- The rules limit US hunters, including the "unofficial" outfitters, bring the system back to the way it was intended to work.
- By the way, the measure hass the full official support of the Manitoba professional outfitters society.
