WINNIPEG - Manitobans celebrated Provincial Hunting Day today in Whittier Park by learning about wildlife conservation and how to cook wild game.

Earlier this week, the province proclaimed the fourth Saturday in September as Provincial Hunting Day. They day is meant to celebrate the role hunting plays in wildlife management and conservation.

Hunting season is now underway across the province. This year, Manitobans will be able to hunt big game on Sundays, and the requirements for youth hunting mentors have been simplified.
