HUNTING

Hunting is permitted in accordance with Provincial/Federal hunting regulations and licenses. Click here for MTM Hunting Permit Information, fees and rules.

Waterfowl hunting has a long tradition at Matchedash Bay and Tiny Marsh. The sound of wings whistling through the air. Mist rising off the frost-laden marsh. Your retriever at full attention in anticipation of a shot. Birds banking in an attempt to join the decoys strategically placed by the hunter. At the end of all of your efforts, a fine meal awaits. Excitement abounds at MTM in the fall. Thanks to decades of habitat preservation and enhancements by Ducks Unlimited Canada, as well as the volunteers at MTM who put in countless hours, thousands of migrating waterfowl visit Matchedash Bay and Tiny Marsh each year.

From diving ducks on the main open bay to puddle ducks found along the North & Coldwater Rivers, waterfowlers at Matedash Bay have a large area available to them. There are no designated hunting blind locations. A boat or canoe is essential on the main open bay. Four inland Ducks Unlimited projects offer waterfowl hunters easy access. Two smaller projects can be accessed with waders, while the Thiffault Project & Brereton Project require a canoe. We recommend that hunters use a good dog at all locations.

Other hunting that occurs at the Matchedash Bay PWA includes turkey, deer & grouse hunting.
