About hunting in Newfoundland and Labrador

Canada’s easternmost province, Newfoundland and Labrador, comprises the island of Newfoundland and the mainland of Labrador to the northwest, about 156,500 square miles of beautiful coastal, bog, and tundra scenery. The province, particularly the island of Newfoundland, is an extremely popular hunting destination. Moose, black bear, and woodland caribou are the province’s marquee big-game species. Taking all three of these animals constitutes the “Newfoundland Grand Slam.” Waterfowling and upland hunting for willow ptarmigan and grouse is also excellent. There are approximately 120,000 moose on the island of Newfoundland, the most concentrated population in North America. Rifle hunters typically enjoy an 85 percent success rate, and hunters can also choose to hunt with bow or muzzleloader. These moose do not get as large as the moose in western Canada, but they are plenty big, weighing up to 1,200 pounds and with antler spreads that occasionally reach 50 inches. Newfoundland and Labrador is home to thousands of woodland caribou, the only huntable woodland caribou herds in the world. Woodland caribou hunters in the past have experienced a 90 percent success rate. Caribou quotas have been reduced in recent years, so hunting these magnificent animals is a treasured opportunity. Mature bulls can weigh between from 350 to 500 pounds and sport unique racks that are heavier and more compact than other varieties of caribou. The 10,000 or so black bears that live in Newfoundland and Labrador tend to be larger than most because of excellent genetics and low hunting pressure, occasionally tipping the scales at 650 pounds. Two bears are typically allowed per license, and bear hunts are conducted in both spring and fall. Non-resident big-game licenses in Newfoundland and Labrador are only available through a licensed outfitter, and nonresident hunters must possess a valid license and be accompanied by a licensed guide to hunt big game. They must also possess proof of having met their own jurisdiction's hunter education requirements. Small game and waterfowl hunters do not require guides. Hunters must possess a game export permit to take game out of the province. Export permits are available free of charge from all Forestry/Wildlife Offices and licensed outfitters. Hunters who are coming to Canada from the United States should remember that they must declare all game taken when they re-enter the United States and should obtain the necessary forms prior to leaving. Nonresident black bear hunters also require a CITES permit to transport black bear parts outside Canada.

This is a very friendly camp that enjoys getting to know their hunters. They want success for their hunters as badly as the hunters want it.

I killed out right away and the hunt was over so quickly. It's a good and a bad thing.

The camp is fantastic. Comfortable cabins with all the amenities of home. Great staff and meals. The wild lands of Newfoundland were a great experience for a guy from Arkansas.

Had very difficult weather the week I was there and lost some hunting time. A full 7 hunting days versus 5 would have helped. I was able to get a small bull caribou on the one good weather day but struck out on moose.

Shan and Sali run a great camp. Good accommodations and excellent food (and plenty of it). Harold and Larry were knowledgeable and talented guides. Harold spotted and tracked this "trophy Bull" for two days, sensing where it would be we headed out and eventually were able to take it down. A wonderful hunting experience in the wilderness of Newfoundland.

I can summons anything that I did not like on this hunting trip.

What I liked about this moose hunting experience was everything but mostly the terrain, high altitude area of Newfoundland where you can spot and glass for miles and see so much beautiful country. And also the style of hunting for my particular hunt we got in the boat early morning on the first day, drove 20 minutes down the lake to the Argo and drove over an hour up to the high country to do some calls and right away had this monster bull calling back that we successfully got 3 hours into the hunt. My dad and our 2 friends also all got each of there moose before the end of the 4th evening at northern lights adventures. There wasn’t a single day where we didn’t see a moose! Good food great guides and great people highly recommend!

The guiding was excellent, the food was great, and the remote location was beautiful! This was a once in a lifetime hunt, and I enjoyed it immensely!

The only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t have multiple tags to continue hunting! 😁
