Why Hunt Moose in Newfoundland?
Newfoundland holds one of the densest moose populations in North America, with well over 100,000 animals on the island. The bulls are big-bodied Eastern Canadian moose, and the country is rugged, remote, and lightly pressured. Every hunt here is a fair-chase hunt on wild ground, which is a big part of why hunters travel from across North America to do it.
Deep Country Lodge has outfitted in central eastern Newfoundland for two decades, and owner and outfitter Dean Crocker brings more than 40 years of hunting experience to the operation. Whether this is your first Canadian hunt or a step toward a Grand Slam, the guides know the country and how to put hunters in front of mature bulls. Recent bulls are in the moose gallery.
How Much Does a Newfoundland Moose Hunt Cost?

Drive-In vs. Helicopter Fly-In Moose Hunts
Drive-In Trophy Moose Hunt
The drive-in hunt reaches moose country by truck and ATV, with hunters based at a lodge or spike camp for the week. It is the best value in the lineup for hunters who want a guided, high-success moose hunt without helicopter access.
Remote Helicopter Fly-In Moose Hunts
The fly-in hunts use a helicopter to reach wilderness with no road access and very little hunting pressure. Hunters choose between a fully outfitted remote lodge and a spike camp set even deeper in the backcountry. Both suit hunters chasing a bigger bull who are happy to trade some convenience for more remote ground. Fly-in dates are limited, so these packages fill first.
What Is Included in Every Moose Hunt Package?
Every Deep Country Lodge moose package includes the following, with no hidden fees added once you arrive.
- All provincial tags and licenses, plus the 15% provincial tax
- A 1x1 professional guide (one guide for one hunter)
- Lodge or spike camp accommodations
- Home-cooked meals daily: breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Field dressing, capping, and trophy care
- Free transport between St. John's airport and the lodge or camp
- An optional Screech-In, the traditional honorary Newfoundlander ceremony
When Should You Book a Newfoundland Moose Hunt?
Moose hunts typically book one to two years ahead, and the rut weeks in late September and early October go first. Helicopter fly-in dates have the tightest availability, so hunters set on a fly-in hunt should reserve early. Deep Country Lodge is currently booking 2027 through 2030, with open dates listed on the hunt dates and details page.
A 50% deposit holds your dates at booking, and the balance is due 90 days before your hunt.
Why Hunt With Deep Country Lodge?
Deep Country Lodge is a Newfoundland-based operation running two lodges and a network of spike camps in central eastern Newfoundland. Many of the guides grew up hunting this country, and several come from families that have hunted it for generations. Camps are kept small so each hunter gets a guide's full attention, and the lodge keeps a high success rate year after year. Past hunters describe their trips on the testimonials page, and the moose outfitter guide covers how the operation runs.
