We boast one of the highest success rates in the region at 95% success. Hunting is over our many active baits and is done mainly from well-built platforms about 12 – 15 feet high or from ground blinds for the more adventurous. Expect great success with bow, rifle or blackpowder.
 WOODLAND CARIBOU
The wide-open caribou laden barren land of Newfoundland’s Southwest coast is a vast area covering hundreds of square miles riddled with caribou and other big game. In some areas the land is rolling, nearly treeless tundra covered with moss and lichens. This is the last great wilderness frontier of Newfoundland and this is the home of the majestic Woodland Caribou. These trophies lend themselves to hunting with bow, rifle and blackpowder.
Newfoundland remains the only place in the world where you can hunt the majestic Woodland Caribou. Approximately 50,000 woodland caribou roam the pristine wilds of Western Newfoundland.
