Main River Safari Big Game Hunting

Moose

Introduced to the province in 1898, North America's largest deer species has prospered here and are now estimated to exceed 160, 000 animals. Mature bulls can exceed 1200 lbs, with the average being 1000 lbs. Moose are normally extremely wary with keen senses - a challenging hunt for the serious hunter.

Combination moose and caribou hunts are available.

During the peak of the rut from late September to mid-October, however, moose become more agressive.

The Newfoundland caribou herd is 60,000 animals strong

Woodland Caribou

Newfoundland boasts the southern most herd of Woodland Caribou, estimated at over 60,000 animals. Those animals share the same habitat as moose, giving the combination moose/caribou hunt its popularity. The rut coincides with the moose rut and ends by mid-October. Boone and Crocket records attest to many record book animal taken in Newfounland over the years.

Black Bear

There are an estimated 6,000 to 10,000 black bear in the province. Due to low hunting pressures, they have thrived and bears in excess of 500 lbs. are frequently reported, with the average being between 300 and 400 lbs. The bear hunt is offered only as incidental to the moose/caribou hunt but each year several hunters take home an added bonus to their trip
