LEAVING CAMP EARLY

If a hunter decides to leave camp early, it is at their own expense.

BE PREPARED

Harvesting Big Game Animals in Newfoundland with a firearm will require a high-powered rifle and matching ammunition. Recommended calibres vary from 30-06, 308, 270, 7mm, 300 and above. Guns should be zeroed for a 200yds prior to arrival. A typical shot will be less than 300yds

Thoroughly review the provided gear list and ask questions if you are not sure or would like further recommendations

When booking a helicopter fly-in hunt, hunters are asked to keep to essential gear only. Gear should be packed in a soft sided duffle bag with a max weight of 40 pounds + rifle. A soft sided duffle like Kuiu’s Taku 5500 or similar along with your day pack should suffice.

Please be familiar with all State, Federal and Provincial laws and regulations surrounding firearm and ammunition storage/transportation while travelling and please ask if you need guidance or recommendations to limit interruptions during your travels.

Soft sided gun cases will be provided for transportation via helicopter into remote locations. Hard shell cases will be left in storage during hunt.

RECOMMENDED TIP FOR YOUR NEXT HUNT

• Your Hunting Guide Typically greater than 10%
• Cook $30 USD per day
• Camp / Field Help (including guides for non-hunting guests) as desired based on experience and level of service
• Shuttle Driver $20 USD per round trip

A fair gratuity for a professional hunting guide is greater than 10% of the total base cost of your hunt. This is based on industry standards for the high level of care and guiding services being provided by Deep Country Lodge. Cooks usually receive $30+usd perday on average, camp/field help gratuities are usually determined by level of service and involvement in your individual experience. Also, a crisp $20 goes a long way with our seasoned shuttle driver Mervin!

If you feel one of our guides or staff members had a significantly positive impact on your experience, success, care or comfort please recognize that person accordingly with an appropriate level of gratitude.
