Known for the size of its black bear and numbers of moose and caribou, Newfoundland is an often overlooked hunting destination.

There are any number of reasons why Newfoundland remains one of the most popular hunting destinations on the North American continent. But let’s start with a few of the less obvious, but no less important reasons.

First is the place itself. Sitting at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland is Canada’s newest province, joining the Confederation in 1949. Although separated from the rest of Canada by water, the island province is more than just a rocky isle, as its nickname seems to imply, but a mixture of what is best of its mainland counterpart. Rest assured there are plenty of rocks, but there are also extensive inland barrens and bogs, large tracts of black spruce, several major rivers and hundreds of small ponds and large lakes, while protective bays and scenic fjords dot the coast. The Appalachians actually extend into the province along the western edge, some rising to 2,000 feet above sea level in the Lewis Hills and Gros Morne regions. Rich in history, Newfoundland was first visited by Europeans as early as the 11th century, and the name “Newfoundland” is one of the oldest European place names in Canada in continuous geographical and cartographical use since 1502. Although the island is a popular tourist and hunting destination today, part of the attractiveness and charm is it remains somewhat of a mystery to mainlanders who have never traveled there.
