The tremendously diverse
landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador is a heaven
for moose hunters. Moose find their  homes
in the low lying wooded valleys located from coast
to coast on the island portion of the province. Who
would have thought that four (4) moose, imported to
the island from New Brunswick in 1904, would establish
itself so great that it now has the most dense population
in North America. (More

Woodland
Caribou can be found at roadside in fairly large herds
throughout the province. The caribou is one of Canada's
most popular big game species, but in few places are
they so fearless of humans.
The barrenground caribou of Labrador are part of the
world's largest herd. The barren land here, with its
abundance of lichens, makes an incredible stopover
for the migrating herds of Canada's North.

Bear
hunting in Newfoundland and Labrador, you won't find
the highest success rates found anywhere, but you will
find some of the largest Black
Bear on Earth. According to wildlife biologist black
bear here have weighed in at 312 kilograms (687 lbs).
Because Labrador is so sparsely populated and low hunting
pressure, Black bear seems to be more plentiful than
on the island. (More Info)

Ptarmigan, close relatives
of the grouse, live in alpine areas throughout Newfoundland
and Labrador. There are three kinds  of
ptarmigan but the Willow Ptarmigan is most common
here. They are found in abundance in the high, treeless
country near the Mountains.
|
Snowshoe
hare is one of the most common small game species
in Newfoundland. This animal is very fast and can
provide an exceptional  challenge
to some of the best shooters. If hunters want to catch
the snowshoe by snaring, guides will help with the
setup.

The
migratory bird-hunting season extends from the first
Monday in October to mid-December.  Almost
all our birds migrate from Labrador and are a common
local sight as early as late August. Visitors must hold
a Federal Migratory Game Permit, as well as a Newfoundland
and Labrador Non-Resident License.
