Newfoundland Moose - Hunt #32-MO

Home of the eastern Canadian subspecies of moose, Newfoundland boasts more moose per square mile than anywhere in North America. This outfitter has experienced over a 95% success rate and is one of the most respected operations in Newfoundland. Don’t be fooled into thinking that just because the lodge and food are so good that hunting is secondary – it is not!

The big game rifle hunting season in Newfoundland begins in mid-September and ends in early December with a bow hunting season beginning two weeks earlier (early September).

Three options are available:

1) Lodge Hunt - Based out of a beautiful lodge, this 2×1 guided hunt is done primarily by spot and stalk on foot or from vehicles. If you like all the comforts of home, and then some, this hunt is for you. After a long day afield, the lodge provides a sauna, hot tub, billiards and satellite TV. Rooms are double occupancy with private baths. There is even a honeymoon suite! Meals are outstanding as is the service from the staff. 6 Day Hunt - $4900.

You can also make this hunt a moose/ black bear combo for $5500.  Bear hunting methods include spot & stalk and hunting over bait. Success rate on bears is 60% for this hunt.

$1000 for non-hunting guest, $1800 for non-hunting guest that accompanies the hunter in the field.

If you want to increase the odds of taking a trophy bull, the options below are available.

2) Trophy Hunt – May be based from main lodge or remote lodge. This hunt is a 1×1 in a more remote area with very little pressure. 6 Day Hunt - $5700.

3) Remote Trophy Hunt – tent based remote camp – for the serious trophy hunter who doesn’t require lodge accommodations. This remote area has few roads limiting access which allows the moose to live longer and grow bigger antlers. 1×1 guided. 6 Day Hunt - $6900.

All three options include: licenses, pick-up and return to St. Anthony or Deer Lake Airport, guide, accommodations, all meals and trail lunches, transportation to and from hunting areas, preparation of game to take home including caping, trophy preparation and meat boxing. Does not include 6.5% tax on hunt and 13% tax on license.

The lodge and hunts are located on the northern peninsula. Flights are into St. Anthony or Deer Lake. Can also drive and take the ferry from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. It is a 6-7 hour drive from the ferry drop off to the lodge. Reservations are required for the ferry.  It is recommended to take the night crossing both ways. Here is the link to the ferry rates: http://www.marine-atlantic.ca/en/rates/pabnsyrates.shtml.

This is a great destination to bring family, friends or clients to enjoy this unique Canadian island.
