Moose
Hunting Our
lodge has a high moose density and consequently we have
enjoyed successes among the best. In the past 10
years we enjoyed an average success rate of 85%.
We get a very large number of out guest returning to
hunt with us again and again, after they have had their
first experience hunting with Newfoundland Wilderness
Outfitters Inc.
We are hunting the Eastern Canadian moose and while they
are smaller than their Alaskan/Yukon cousins these bulls
can still grow some big antlers. The bull pictured above
has a 57 inch spread and is the largest bull taken to
date from the lodge.
Woodland Caribou Hunting Newfoundland
& Labrador is the ONLY location in the
WORLD where this magnificent animal may
be legally hunted.
We
offer excellant Woodland caribou hunting in our area
with some nice bulls being spotted and taken every year.
We are hunting the famous Middle Ridge Herd which is the
fastest growing herd on the island.
With the reduction of the
available licenses their is a high demand for these
hunts and a early booking is required to hunt Woodland
caribou.
Black Bear Hunting We
have superb black bear hunting in one of the highest
black bear densities in Newfoundland & Labrador, partly
because the area had been closed to all black bear
hunting for 11 years ( 1987 - 1997 ). This was the
area the provincial wildlife scientists used to do a
long term study on a high density bear population.
Being the only outfitter in this area and because the
black bear has no natural predators in Newfoundland &
Labrador mean these bear are under very little pressure
and they grow to large sizes. Bears have been
recorded over 600 pounds and our harvesting of bears
300, 350 and over 400 pounds is common. Over the
past 10 years, we have enjoyed a success rate of over
95% on our spring bear hunts with success rates of 100%
during some spring seasons.
We offer both spring and fall bear hunts and the fall
hunts may be in combination with moose and/or woodland
caribou.
It is very important that we harvest some of the larger
bears each year because a high mortality rate in moose
and caribou calves is attributed to black bear
predation. It is due to this fact, that we can now
offer hunters the option to take a second bear for a
fraction of the cost and it is a decision you do not
have to make until after you have taken your first bear.
We offer both spring and fall hunts and fall hunts may
be done as a combination with moose and or Woodland
Caribou. We use trail cameras to watch our baits so we
know what is hitting and when giving the hunter a greater
advantage of taking a Big bear.
