Hey fellas, after moving from one of north america's hunting mecca's (NWT), to Nova Scotia, i've seemed to have developed a twitch and my doctor says i'm in need of a significant big game hunting trip. Well that's what i'm telling the old lady, but all joking aside, my nwt moose and caribou meat is running out and i feel the need to plan a trip. I don't really care where out east (quebec, New brunswick, NFLD, even Maine/New Hampshire) but not looking to break the bank, any idea's?

Well you can pretty much rule out NB for moose unless your very lucky . Ive been 23 yrs applying and still havent got a tag. I think you can moose hunt in quebec without a guide though if you want to do it on the cheap.

Newfoundland or Labrador is closest for caribou. Not sure if there are many licenses for come from aways (CFA's) though. Shouldn't be hard to get a moose license here but you'd have to go through and outfitter.

I feel for ya, coming from somewhere like that to here. The hunting sucks here! It truly does! I always sort of knew it but seeing pics of other places on here cemented it.




Nfld or Labrador will probably be the best way to scratch the itch, good luck to ya.

Agree that is your best two spots for sure. Good Luck

If I may ask, why would one move from NWT to Nova Scotia??? I mean N.S is ok, but from the NWT ??? Ouch

Here for the same reasons and fully understand. Yes I gave up great hunting in the US also but never looked back and that was over 40 years ago now.I just save my pennies and head out west or NL for moose etc when the shaking gets real badtake care

I agree, move back, I wish I never left 20 years ago when I was in Inuvik. Although I did move back to Ontario for the same reasons you did. All I can say is I have enjoyed being around family and Ontario is the worst province in the country. I have lived in or visited all of the provinces and territories. You have to meet some of the people who live here, no idea.

Anyone have experience with hunting caribou in quebec as a nonresident?

Labrador is not issuing any non-res licenses for caribou...Moose is a draw system in Lab. Newfoundland moose with an outfitter is pretty much it for east coast.

Quebec is probably the best area to get in on some moose or caribou with an outfitter.

Why is a non guided hunt not a good idea
