Moose - Caribou - Black Bear

Welcome to our Combination hunts homepage

This page has been designed to provide more information to people interested in doing a combination of the hunts offered by Gander River Outfitters Inc. and Trophy Hunts Inc. It will provide you with more detail as to how our combination hunts are organized and more information on the options available to you the client.

So grab a chair, get a coffee and have a read.... This hunt is exciting and will provide you with some of the best experiences Newfoundland has to offer.

We work together to offer you the "Newfoundland Grand Slam" hunting adventure. Gander River Outfitters Inc. has a very high density of Eastern Moose and Black Bears in their operating area and Trophy Hunts Inc. is located in "the home of the Caribou". They harvest a very high percentage of Trophy animals and they also have a good Black Bear population. Together we can offer you the best of both situations and put together the possibility of a grand slam hunt.

The trip between camps usually happens about noon on Wednesdays during the 6 day hunts. For 8-10 hunts it varies, depending on your starting day.

Camp to camp travel is door to door as you can see.
The charter company we use has the latest equipment and the trip between camps takes approximately 45 minutes over some very pretty country.

Attempting to accomplish the Bear, Caribou and Moose all in one trip is no small feat. You will typically commence your adventure from Gander on a Sunday and will be on the go for an entire week. An example of a typical hunt: You fly from the float plane base in Gander, NF to the Thophy Hunts Inc. camp approximately 1 hour southeast of Gander where you are in the heart of Caribou country. Monday morning has you on the move looking over the barrens for that special Caribou. You may take some long walks or if you wish you can survey the area from boats and set up an observation post overlooking some natural Caribou passes. By Tuesday you have the lay of the land and can usually count on seeing several good head specimens any one of which you would be proud to have gracing your wall. According to plan you will take a Caribou on Tuesday or very early on Wednesday. You may have also hunted for your bear, depending on how long your caribou hunt took. They send for "the plane", you say your good byes and soon you are winging your way back over Gander and on to the northeast coast where Gander River meets the ocean. A short time later you are down on the water and a Gander Riverboat pulls up alongside your aircraft and transfers you to the Gander River Outfitters Inc. camp which is just a short distance away. By Wednesday afternoon you are moved in, watered and fed. You have met your guide and are off for the moose and the bear if you haven't already hunted your bear. After the evening hunt you are back at camp for a fine meal and a good night's rest. Thursday and Friday are two full hunting days which are normally enough to put your rifle between you and a moose. Saturday is also a hunting day and occasionally we need it to complete the task. By Saturday night we are out of the bush by riverboat and back to civilization. We then arrange for your transportation from Gander Bay to Gander, NF. Your trip is complete except for the delivery of your meat and capes to the air cargo in Gander.

"Thanks so much for making our visit to Newfoundland a "trip of a lifetime"!
I received the photo via e-mail even before any of our pictures were developed, so thanks for that as well. The trip home was smooth and uneventful, we went through customs with the antlers without a glitch (they see a lot of them this time of year).
Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality. I look forward to visiting again in the not too distant future.

Best Regards,
Bill"
