Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Newfoundland Moose outfitter

I am looking for a 2015 Moose hunt. Any first hand suggestions as to a outfitter?

a Sunday bump

One last try, no body goes to Newfoundland for moose?

I'd like to help you, but I see what you see.

Have you learned anything anywhere else?

Several years ago I used Portland Creek Outfitters and will recommend them.

Use the search function and try Newfoundland moose, there have been a couple threads here in the last couple months on that topic.

call newfoundland wilderness outfitters at 814-387-6660. The outfitter is DYLAN STEFFAN. Dylan lives in pennsylvania.

Art Ryan own and runs Mountain Top outfitters in Doyle's. We have gone twice to the camp with Dean, Deon and Darren as guides. Fantastic hunt. I'd go back in a second and suggest it to anyone interested. Be sure you book in the camp that those three guide out of. Camp 9 I think.

Westwoods Outfitters but I think he is booked up for 2015.

This is a hunt I hve been considering for years, but I'd also consider Quebec outfitters....

I too am starting to do some research on Newfoundland moose hunt..

To the guys that have done the hunt,what are the real chances of seeing a 45-50 inch moose? Is there a better area on the island than another area for better size moose? Where somebody could start doing research on outfitters rather then the whole island..

Mssgn is there a area in Quebec you would recommend.. I never thought of Quebec, due to the fact ive been hung up on Newfoundland and there moose population..

For me this would probably be a one time deal, thats why i always looked at Newfoundland cause of there population..I'm thinking more moose a guy might have a better chance of seeing moose and actually getting one..

Thanks for any info....

Noduck, chances of seeing a 40-50 inch moose are slim and none, and slim left town. Lots of BS from those folks up there. I went a couple of years ago, and saw a couple bulls with horns the size of a writing tablet, and was told I should take them. LOTS of cows. One guy got one the last day, with maybe 30" horns. Those folks seem to have NO idea of how to rate a moose and will try to get you to shoot anything that walks. It's also a LOONNG drive, if you drive up. Took us 3 long days from Harrisburg PA to the hunting camp. There are moose hunts that are just as inexpensive, in Canada, and a better chance of getting horns. Also, unless you like walking on floating grass clumps and trying to not get tangled in the tangle foot brush, not somewhere to be recommended. NFland what one guy called a big swamp.

I have been there three times. Twice with Robert's Outfitters, once with Red Indian Lake. Very different hunts, but would recommend either. Going back with Red Indian Lake next year. Talk to the outfitter about your physical capabilities. Some hunts are all day walks, uphill, in a swamp. Some hunts are a scenic Argo ride, some hunts are spot and stalk from a pickup truck, Find out what each outfitter you are considering offers. Realistically you may see a 45-50" moose. Each trip at least one person in my group got such a bull. I would say a 35" was average for our groups. Some guys said flat out from the beginning they were shooting the first legal thing they saw, and did.....

The further in you go, the better your odds on a bigger bull. The further in you go, the more money it costs.

Feel free to PM me, lots of details I can offer.

Based on what some of my friends shot I've seen bigger horns on WT deer than their NF moose. I for one wouldn't waste my $$ on a moose hunt in the province.

I hunted with SNOWSHOE LAKE OUTFITTERS in 6 different hunts and connected with game on every hunt. Contact RON HICKS who lives in GRAND FALLS-WINDSOR, NFLD.

My first moose with the previously mentioned outfitter was 49 7/8". In the 12 hunters I've been up with over two hunts we have taken 5 over 40" ,4 in the 32-40" range, two cows and a spike bull. The guides will tell you that if you'll pass a few, you'll have a chance at a good one. But their life is easier if you shoot the first bull you see......and they won't stop you. If I could figure out how to post pics here, I would show the bulls we've taken.

Bob Efford of Efford's hunting adventures. Who said there are no big moose in Newfoundland hasn't hunted there or didn't put their time in. Bob consistantly kills lots of bulls like tis every year. It's a fly in hunt not a road hunt. My buddy also killed a real nice moose on this hunt to but I don't have a pic of it. Pm me for more details.

Oh yea I killed a all time B&C Woodland bou on the same day.

NICE ,NICE Caribou..

Total BS

I've been there, have you? how many times, how many others you know who have. I know several others who've been there and NONE of them had a great time. All felt like they'd been lied to and encouraged to shoot meat animals. I saw a lot of moose, but nothing worth shooting, as not intersted in a cow or calf. A guy I know in PA went up a year ago, drove, and had 3 others with him. Was told they'd be the only group there, get there a 6 man filming crew there, who were given preference and my guys got some "temp" guides, who just drove the roads, and saw little game (will allow that that probably due to a storm that came through and last several days). The man who ran their hunt was in Harrisburg last year lieing that he had a only one or two people who didn't connect. The guy I hunted with has the top moose killed in NF, and yet got upset when I told him I didn't want some POS one. Another friend went up and the guides refused to remove his animal (Caribou) from the field, and also wouldn't let him set up over it to try to get a bear. MIGHT be a few legitimate outfitters up there, but from what I've seen most either BS artists or outright thieves. I would not go back and can't recommend it to anyone else. No reason to go there anyway, when some decent priced Moose hunts in BC, and better chance of getting a good bull.
