Biologists believe that black bears on the island of Newfoundland
may be some of North America's largest. A specimen of 312 kg (687
pounds) was captured, weighed and released by wildlife personnel
during field surveys.... and that was spring weight! Sportsmen have
harvested up to 304 kg (670 pounds), and many specimens have exceeded
a quarter ton!
Approximately 75 percent of our hunters kill Black Bear. Most
hunters see
bear but as we don't bait, your hunt for bear is more challenging.
During Black Bear season, most likely where you see one bear there
is at least a pair.
Our Bear hunts are carried out next to the boundary of Gros
Morne Park which has some of the biggest and most abundant Black
bear in Newfoundland. The bears which we have killed here have averaged
over 300 lbs and some over 450 lbs. One squared out at 8 feet in
the 2000 season.
Our stands are approximately 3 miles apart and have been put
in with the bow hunter in mind which will be extremely beneficial
to the rifle hunter. They are located close to the logging road
and the guides will have constant radio contact with the hunter.
We combine our bear hunts with fishing for brook trout and
Atlantic Salmon. We have access to two of Newfoundland's most productive
rivers for Salmon and the waters fished for brook trout have produced
some of Newfoundland's largest, in excess of four (4) lbs.
Weather conditions in our area during the bear hunting season
(mid September thru mid October) can vary greatly. Mid-day temperatures
may exceed 40 degrees with well below freezing temperatures at night,
so come prepared. Rain gear and rubber boots are a must.
