Welcome from Half Moon Outfitters
Marco Vachon Owner
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.
To ensure the best possible experience for our hunters, we use game cameras set to video mode at all bait sites. This advanced setup provides a clear view and better identification of visiting bears, helping us carefully select the right opportunities for a successful hunt.
In 2024, we managed 18 bait sites to support 6 tags. With an additional 6 tags secured for Spring 2025, we are expanding our operations to provide even more opportunities for our hunters.
Our unwavering commitment to excellence and attention to detail ensure that every hunt with us is more than just a trip—it’s a memory to last a lifetime.
With 25 years of bear & moose guiding experience, I bring deep knowledge and dedication to every hunt. I’ve surrounded myself with a team of young, dynamic guides who are committed to going the extra mile for our clients, making every hunt not just successful but unforgettable.
When you choose Half Moon Outfitters, you’re not just booking a hunt—you’re joining a team that shares your excitement for the outdoors and is committed to creating lasting memories in the heart of black bear country.

Upon arrival to camp in the pristine and vast wilderness of New Brunswick, Canada, my son Joshua and I had the pleasure of meeting Marco Vachon, our guide and co-owner of a new outfit named Pourvoirie Half Moon Outfitters. Didn't take us long to realize his passion for hunting and his knowledge of bear is second to none! As for the hunt, the rut was in full swing and let me tell you, Marco put us on numerous bears most days. On my 2nd evening on stand, I had so many bears, I lost count, as they started running, weaving and circling around my stand from every direction, with more lurking in the shadows, only to blow their cover while growling or chasing another passing bear! I was content to just watch the show, however, they left me pinned in my stand at the end of the evening, having to wait for Marco to get me out. If he only knew what I was seeing from above...I was bettin' on the bears! LOL!! On the 4th evening, Josh and I barely made it into our stands (14 miles apart) at 4:30 before we had bears in front of us. Josh, who was dying with anticipation, made a perfect shot with his bow and watched his bruin expire within 12 yards of his stand. His 1st archery bear! I also arrowed a big boar. However, recovering it after finding a bloody arrow with no blood trail required Marco's expertise and keen eye in the thick brush to find it. This was also my 1st archery kill and potential P&Y bear with a green skull score of 18 7/16" and weight of 304#. I'd like to give a big shout out to Marco, Mario and Phil for all their help and generosity this past week! These guys went the extra miles, literally, transporting us to/from the airport, recovering and delivering our lost luggage, cooking us delicious meals and reviewing hundreds of pics with us each day to give us the best chance at a trophy bear. We'll have fond memories of our new friends north of the border and the fun and excitement we shared. Thanks Pourvoirie Half Moon Outfitters, you rock!
Black flies and mosquitoes. Highly recommend a ThermoCell and bug suit.

I traveled from Belgium to hunt with Half Moon Outfitters last spring, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. On my very first sit, I harvested a mature boar with my crossbow—a moment I’ll never forget! The team’s dedication, expertise, and well-prepared bait sites made all the difference. I’m already looking forward to returning next season!....

An Exceptional Hunt with Half Moon Outfitter! I’m from Quebec and hunt black bear every year in my province. But I have to say that my stay with Half Moon Outfitter completely exceeded all my expectations! I’ve never seen so many bears in such a short time. From the very first evening, I was impressed by the quality of the hunting sites and the hard work of the guides. Everything is well-organized and designed to give us the best possible experience. I had the chance to see several bears every day and harvested a beautiful one on the first evening. The camp experience was just as impressive: a welcoming team, delicious meals, and a friendly atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. This kind of trip is exactly what every hunter hopes for. Thank you to the entire Half Moon Outfitter team for this amazing adventure. If you’re looking for a high-quality hunt, this is the place to be. As for me, I’ll definitely be back! – René Marcoux

Had a great trip at Halfmoon Outfitters. Harvested a Pope and Young black bear weighing 319.5 pounds on the first night. Marco and his guides worked very hard to provide the best opportunity each night for every hunter. We saw a lot of bear, moose and Canadian wildlife throughout the week. I am extremely happy with my experience and will be booking again!
