With 50-inch moose racks and weighing up to 544 kilograms (1,200 pounds), our Eastern Canadian moose are surprisingly agile and able to move swiftly through what appears to be impenetrable forest. There are more than 120,000 moose in Newfoundland and Labrador, right here in the northeast corner of North America. Non-resident rifle hunters enjoy a success rate of over 85 per cent. Moose population densities are higher than anywhere else in North America and as high as anywhere in the world. There simply is no better place to hunt for moose and Newfoundland makes it easy. Every member of a hunting party may purchase a licence and take a moose. Bow, muzzle-loader and rifle hunting are permitted. The move in rewards are significant.

Perhaps you have a different species of caribou on your mind. Newfoundland is home to the only huntable woodland caribou herd in the world for non-resident hunters. Highly regarded as trophies, the chance of taking a record-book prized woodland caribou stag is remarkably high. Newfoundlands woodland caribou herds migrate over known, relatively fixed paths each year making for easier access and success.

In Labrador the number of barren ground caribou is astounding. Here, non-resident hunters can take two barren ground caribou on each licence. At 450,000 strong, the George River barren ground caribou herd is one of the largest herds in the world. And, Labrador is home to many record-book stags.

Newfoundland and Labrador is also big black bear country. Here, black bears tend to be bigger than those on the North American mainland. Biologists believe this is due to a genetic predisposition toward larger size and traditionally low hunting pressure. One bear weighed in at a certified 687 pounds. Over 10,000 black bears provide more opportunities for a superb trophy. In Newfoundland and Labrador, there are two hunting seasons for black bear, spring and fall, and hunters can use either rifle or bow.
