On Newfoundland we can offer this attractive hunt for black bears. The drive to the camp is an adventure itself, giving you the chance to see the impressive scenery and rich animal life of Newfoundland.
The black bear hunts take place at baited locations within the hunting district that are regularly visited by black bears of all sizes.
Hunters keep watch over the baits from a distance and when a suitable black bear shows itself you will begin stalking it, either on foot or by boat. The hunt usually starts during the afternoon and continues until darkness falls, when the bears will be at their most active around the baits. However it is possible to see bears during other times of the day, and some times very close to camp!
This hunting tour stretches over 7 days, and includes 6 days hunting, from Monday to Saturday (Hunting is not allowed on Sundays here on Newfoundland). If possible it is best if hunters arrive on a Sunday, when they will be met at the airport by our outfitter, who will then bring them to a nearby hotel. The following morning you will continue on to the hunting camp. After breakfast/lunch.
It is quite normal to see bears every day during the hunt (depending on the weather) and a number of different baited locations are used in the area. Some of these locations are very remote and you never know what might turn up at the baits here at any time!
All hunting is carried out with 2:1 guiding, which is to say there will be one guide with 2 hunters. If you prefer to hunt with your own individual guide it is possible to arrange 1:1 guiding on payment of a supplement. The outfitters fine reputation and the game-rich hunting districts they offer has attracted some of the best hunting guides and staff to work with them - some with over 30 years of experience.
After flying to the town of Deer Lake on Newfoundland, via Toronto, our outfitter advises all hunters to stay in a hotel in Deer Lake both before and after the hunt. This not only enables you to rest after the long flight, but it helps ensure you will be back in Deer Lake in good time for your flight home.
