Robert Ackerman a 2004 Season Grand Slam hunter.
 Moose:  The island of Newfoundland boasts the highest densities of moose in the entire world!  The largest member of the deer family, as well as the largest elk, the moose is by far the most popular big-game animal in Newfoundland.  These animals were introduced to the province at the turn of the twentieth century and provincial population now exceeds 125,000 strong!  This large ungulate stands taller than a large saddle horse and often weighs in excess of 1500 pounds.
Caribou:  High populations of woodland caribou forage the boreal forest and roam the high plateaus of our remarkable island.  The only place in the world to hunt this magnificent animal is on the island of Newfoundland!  The woodland caribou is indigenous to Newfoundland and differs from the "Barrens Caribou" sporting exquisite antlers of slightly less mass,  but more points than its relative, which makes for a beautiful trophy mount.

Black Bear:  The black bear of Newfoundland is the world's largest, frequently weighing in at over 500lb!  A combination of genetics, range and very low hunting pressure and an abundance of food contribute to making the Newfoundland black bear larger than any of its cousins in North America.  High densities of bear are widespread all over the island of Newfoundland.  Baited stands are used to lure the behemoth in spring, as they are quite hungry after a winter's hibernation.  In the fall, 'spot and stalk' hunts are common, as the bear may be sighted feeding on berries while ambling along barrens or wetlands.  Provincial population is currently stable at approximately 10,000 animals.

Particulars:  Our hunting lodge is accessible by vehicle via a logging road.  There is a short walk from the parking area to the main lodge.  We are situated on the shore of a lake which stretches five (5) miles, buffered by large stands of forested land.  Above the trees are barren plateaus (caribou terrain).  We have two satellite camps, each a comfortable three (3) miles from the main lodge.  Each of these camps are located on pond shores.  The distance between the main lodge and these camps is made up of a series of small ponds and open marshland (ideal moose habitat!)  There are points of trees left around cut-over areas to provide cover for the animals.  Moose love these areas because of the incredible biomass of young deciduous trees and undergrowth.  We have miles and miles of wilderness terrain to hunt!!!  A fairly aggressive hunter should see approximately 25 moose and 35 caribou during a normal week of hunting.  For the average hunter, 30% to 40% of animals taken are classified as trophies.  This percentage can rise if the hunter is willing to work a little harder.

Newfound Outfitting offers fully guided single or combination hunts for moose or woodland caribou in the months of September and October.  We also offer both bow and rifle hunts, with the bow hunt, preceding the rifle hunt by two weeks.  All hunting packages are for a six (6) day duration.  Trophies may be prepared and shipped to your home through the expertise of a local taxidermist.
