Hunting in Canada

Canada’s wetlands give us so much, including millions of ducks every year. Ducks Unlimited Canada owns properties that have been restored and managed to provide habitat for North America’s breeding waterfowl. This has been made possible by the donors, volunteers, and partners who support our conservation work.

Ducks Unlimited Canada provides access to these lands for public use, including hunting, trapping and other recreational uses.

Hunting Resources

Review the rules set for lands owned by Ducks Unlimited Canada and to learn how to identify other accessible lands to enjoy a safe experience hunting in every province.
