Newfoundland ‘Grand Slam’

Eastern Canadian Moose

Moose hunting in Newfoundland and Labrador is currently the best value moose hunting in the world. In fact, this province has the world’s densest moose population: 2-3 animals per square mile. A mature bull can weight up to 1,200 pounds with 40-50 inch trophies. While the average expected trophy size is about 40 inches spread, with 12-22 points, a few lucky hunters come across some 50 or 50+ inch “monster” bulls in every season.

Overall rifle hunters’ success rate is 85%. On the other hand, bow and arrow hunts and muzzleloader hunts are also welcomed.

Rifle moose hunts start on September 15^th, while bowhunting usually starts 2 weeks earlier. Of course, these hunts can be combined with woodland caribou and stumble-upon bear.

Woodland Caribou

The island of Newfoundland is the only place on earth where non-resident hunters can hunt woodland caribou. Some great herds of caribou live in Central and Southwest Newfoundland, migrating here for better food sources during the year. There are also some scattered, smaller herds in other areas, usually with slightly smaller trophies. Without a doubt, this is a very limited opportunity, with high success rates. For example, non-resident hunters for woodland caribou have experienced more than a 90% success rate, with mature bulls weighing anywhere from 350 to 500 pounds.

Because the numbers of the available licenses are constantly dropping, we recommend you book your caribou hunt one or two years in advance.

Black Bear

Black bears are big here – some top a whopping 650 pounds. There are two black bear seasons in Newfoundland – one in the spring (mid-June to mid-July) and one in the fall (September – November) with rifle or bow. Fall bear hunts take place during moose and caribou hunting season, therefore offering good combinations. These hunts are taken on mostly open barren blueberry fields. While spring bear hunts are on bait, with high success rates. Some of our outfitters offer a baited fall bear hunt as well. You can take two black bears (either sex) per licence. It can also be combined with salmon or trout fishing, whale and bird watching, eco-tours, and sightseeing of destination cities (such St. John’s, Gander, and Bonavista) besides any other historical, cultural, and culinary events.

Small Game

While hunting in Canada for big game, you can also come across coyote, wolf, snowshoe hare, willow ptarmigan, rock ptarmigan, ruffed grouse, and spruce grouse. Migratory game birds include ducks, geese, and snipe.
