Who has hunted there and what species? I'm planning on a moose/ bear combo in 2020. Any recommended guides for trophy moose and bear? Also, what are the requirements for crossing into Canada with firearms and Identification? Thanks for your help. Sarge

I know a guy that went with Ironbound outfitters last year for Moose. Him and his brother both got Mid 30” bulls and he also got a bear. https://newfoundlandmoose.comI might go in 2021

Hello Paul, thanks for the info. If and when you can. PM me with the the outfitters name, I will check them. I believe to hunt moose and bear at the same time,moose with rifle and bear with archery. I don't understand that, but that I believe is what I read I plan on taking my moose with my .308 hanloaded with Nosler Partition 165 grain. I would like to take a bear with my 50 cal muzzleloader, but may have to do that some other time. Sarge

Hello, garlic, I checked them.some nice bulls taken. The price is about right for combo hunt. I'm looking for at least a 48 inch or bigger bull with good palmmation. A bear in the 250 to 350 pound range. I prefer blond phase but will settle for black. Thanks, Sarge

I want to thank everyone who chimed in. Never knew so many have went or are going. If bear hunting duringn moose is archery or rifle. Then I will use the .308. I have been applying for a Maine moose permit for nearly 25 years with no luck. Need to get it done, life is not getting any longer..
What size bulls on average to be encountered? I'm wanting at least a 48 inch with good palms.
I will be driving into Canada, so no airport issues. I plan on at least a 12 day trip. Plus heading over to the coast of Maine to pick up a few bugs and clams hopefully. The F150 will hopefully be riding low all the way back to South carolina with moose, bear, lobster, clams and maybe a few fish. After all, it will be a once in lifetime trip. Sarge

SGT, I may be wrong but I think your quest for a "48 bull and blond bear are not very good in Newfoundland!
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

SGT, I may be wrong but I think your quest for a "48 bull and blond bear are not very good in Newfoundland! Correct 48"+ tall order most times. There was at least one exception with a back country helicopter transport hunt a number of years ago but you are talking more $'s with the helicopter transport. That hunt was in western NF and hunted remote mountain country. Quickest way to find out who offers those hunts is to call the helicopter companies all out of Pasadena, NF. There are 3: Universal, Canadian and Newfoundland Helicopters. No blond bears in NF and I seriously doubt no more than nil east of Manitoba. We have the very odd reddish/brown bear here but not more than 1% of our bears.

Why didn't you like driving there? It s a 33 hour drive, including 8 hour ferry ride. Ferry costs $500 round trip for my truck and passengers. Sometimes high seas causes the ferry run to cancel. Burn about $ 700 in gas, not figuring wear and tear on truck. Stop at a hotel, pay for lodginging there ( both ways ) I can drive to Toronto (5 hours ) and get a direct flight into Deer Lake, NF for about $300. I can freight back meat/ antlers using Central Newfoundland Trucking for about $500. The biggest thing isn’t the money, it’s getting your body beat up traveling that far. I’m retired, but if you were working you would lose 4 days of work traveling.. We finish up hunting, get a 7 AM flight at Deer Lake the next morning, and I’m back home in Pa by 2 PM. ( there’s a 1.5 hour time difference, gaining on way home ‘
