Main River.
Experience the Challenge
With
some of the best moose and caribou hunting grounds in North America,
coupled with an excellent run of Atlantic Salmon, Main River has the
challenge for you. Our wilderness awaits you.
Caribou Info
Newfoundland boasts the southern most herd of Woodland Caribou, estimated
at over 90,000 animals. Those animals share the same habitat as moose,
giving the combination moose/caribou hunt its popularity. The rut
coincides with the moose rut and ends by mid-October. Boone and Crocket
records attest to many record book animal taken in Newfoundland over the
years.
Most
of are hunts are conducted from early September to late October only
because this time of year is the most successful time of the hunting
seasons.
We will be hunting, spot and stalk.

Accommodations
Main River prides itself in its rustic, yet modern hunting cabins.
Two cabins come complete with comfortable sleeping and living needs for
your outdoor excursions. Special care has been taken to make sure your day
starts off right - extra shower facilities means no holdups in the
mornings. Since each cabin is located in the heart of the prime hunting
and fishing area, you will be experiencing the outdoors in no time.
The quality of our accommodations and one-on-one hunter/guide ratio means
that hunting trips of 3 to 4 hunters per cabin only. We want to make sure
that your stay is the best possible. Smaller hunting parties means a
greater chance of success coupled with a more personal and well informed
hunting experience.
We presently operate two sites
(12miles apart) in a remote fly in area about 50 miles from our home base
in Pasadena. Lodges are located on branches of Main River on the scenic
Northern Peninsula, which are approximately 4 miles from the boundary of
Gros Morne National Park, which is a no hunt zone.
Lodges are fully equipped with all modern amenities, indoor plumbing,
showers, propane lights, stoves, and refrigerators. We have generated
electricity. Rooms are double occupancy and lodges have a lounge equipped
with wood stoves for that cozy feeling.

able to hunt coyote with a big game license.
The
prices quoted are all inclusive and include license fees, taxes, 1 on 1
guiding , meals (prepared by a full time cook on site) accommodations and
transportation to and from lodge by helicopter.
Not
included is the cost of butchering and packaging of your game for shipment
home, vacuum sealing does a great job We transport game from the field to
the butcher. The only other cost to our guests would be the cost of having
their game butchered and packaged for their trip home. This could be from $150 to $250.00 CAD
depending on weight of game to be butchered.
Persons who hunt with us would be required to arrive at the Deer Lake
Airport on a Saturday, where we will meet them and bring them to a hotel
close by. On Sunday we will pick them up and bring them to meet the
helicopter for transportation to the lodge.
The hunting
season starts on the 2nd Saturday of September each year.
Our
hunts are fly-in only by helicopter with no pressure from local or other
hunters . We normally book 3-4 hunters a week at our main lodge for a
total of only 15 per season and 2 per week at our second lodge for a total
of only 8 per season. Most outfitters book this many hunters each week.
The success rate for last season was 95% for both moose and caribou.
overall The success rate at our two man lodge has been 100% for the past
two season's. This low hunting pressure greatly improves the quality and
success of your hunt.
Bear is
incidental to the moose/caribou hunt. If interested in including a bear
with your fall hunt, the rate is $500.00.
Our
season runs from mid September to mid October. Guides are well seasoned
and familiar with our area and we have one for each hunter. A typical day
would see you and your guide out in the field by daybreak, lunch out, and
then returning to camp just prior to dark. Game is glassed from strategic
vantage points and in many cases the stalk is set up from there. Terrain
is a mix of wooded ridges and river valleys with areas of open marshland.
Gear
should include a layered system of clothing to accommodate a wide range of
temperatures and conditions (freezing at night or early morning, sometimes
increasing to mid fifties by midday early in the season, and rain is not
uncommon in late September and early October.) We recommend long
underwear, warm shirts, fleece jackets, and good quality rain gear. Blaze
orange is not a requirement and we recommend camouflage. The best boots we
have found is a below the knee rubber boot with a tapered ankle. La Crosse
makes such a boot and is available through Cabela's. A lightweight
sleeping bag will do nicely as lodges are well heated.
Total gear
weight should be kept to about 60 pounds.
To get here, flights can be made from anywhere in the USA to connect with
Air Canada in Montreal or Toronto going to Deer Lake, Newfoundland, which
is only 15 miles from our home base. This can be accomplished without
overnight anywhere and we would meet you on arrival. Excursion fares
generally work out to be much cheaper if made well in advance through
your travel agent.
