More about us
Our company was established in 2023 and operates in 1 territory.
- Half Moon Outfitters was established in 2023 and operates in a remote area of the Wilderness New Brunswick, Canada.
- We focus on quality over quantity, we offer a limited number of tags—6 in 2024 and 12 for Spring 2025—allowing us to prioritize harvesting big, mature boars.

About this hunt
Experience bear hunts in the unspoiled wilderness of New Brunswick with Half Moon Outfitters. We take
pride in maintaining small hunting groups, allowing us to provide each hunter with personalized
attention and a tailored experience, no matter their skill level.
We cater to crossbow, bow, and rifle hunters, offering flexibility with hunting dates to suit your
preferences. Our baiting begins as soon as we can access camp in May, with each site meticulously
managed to provide a top-tier hunting experience.
Hunts run from Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday reserved for arrival and departure. Each
hunt package includes one guide for every two hunters, comfortable lodging, and transportation
between lodging and bait sites. We offer meal packages for an additional $500. For those wishing to
take a second bear, the fee is $1000.
A deposit of $500 USD is required to secure your booking. While deposits are non-refundable, they are
transferable within one year to allow you to reschedule your hunt. We limit the number of hunters we
book, ensuring we can provide an exceptional, personalized experience. When you hunt with us, you’re
not just a client—you’re treated like part of the Half Moon Outfitters family.
While our primary focus is black bear, we also offer the opportunity to arrange hunts for moose. Join us
at Half Moon Outfitters for a hunting adventure that blends expertise, passion, and unforgettable
memories that will last a lifetime.
We typically begin our hunts in the last week of May or the first week of June, as the winter season lasts
longer in the northern part of the province. This timing ensures the best conditions for a successful hunt.

Where you will hunt
Territory
Located in the heart of New Brunswick, we cover a vast territory of 900 km², much of which has never
been hunted. This unique and pristine environment allows us to offer exclusive opportunities for
harvesting mature boars, ensuring a high-quality hunting experience.
Last Spring, we hosted six bear hunters, all of whom had the opportunity to see multiple bears during their five-day hunts. Five out of six hunters successfully harvested bears, with three being mature boars, including two over 300 pounds.
One hunter chose not to harvest, waiting for a target bear, showcasing our commitment to selective hunting. Among the successful hunts, one young man celebrated his first bear harvest with a bow, and another bear was taken with a crossbow.
We are proud that 5 of the 6 hunters have already booked to return for Spring 2025, reflecting their satisfaction with their experience at Half Moon Outfitters.
