During our Spring and Fall Black Bear hunt, we have access to 3,245 sq. kilometers in zone 5 and also 6,265 sq. kilometers in zone 7. These two zones are mainly covered by dense spruce forest which is an ideal habitat for the bears. We take Trophy Book animals every single year! One of our hunters videotaped 71 (yes, seventy-one) bears during his one week hunt with us. For the last 7 hunting seasons we have reached a 100% opportunity-for-a-shot at a bear for every hunter. Since all our stands are set up for archery, all hunters can examine their quarry at close range.

Our Moose season may be short but it is very exciting. The New Brunswick Government has made 100 Tags available to non-resident hunters. We have been most fortunate to have a hunter every year since 1996 and we are proud to say that we have experienced a 100% success rate in the Moose hunt! Mark Unger harvested a 695 Lb. six point bull in 2002 and James Kelly bagged a 765 Lb. 13 point bull in 2003. In 2004, Bob Jarvis harvested a 750 lb. cow moose, Mark Unger a 1,020 lb. bull, Edward Khun Jr., a 300 lb. bull and Bear Paw guide David Roy, a 650 lb. bull. During the 2005 moose season, Jim Keneston from New York harvested a 752 pound bull moose and Maureen Roy (owner Bear Paw Outfitters) harvested a 870 pound bull moose. During the very successful 2006 moose season, Peter Brown from Maine harvested an 890 Lb. bull with a 53 inch spread and 18 point rack. Steve Wendzel of Pennsylvania harvested an 809 Lb. bull with 44 inch spread and 21 points. Our 2007 moose hunt was once again very successful with John Drew harvesting a 880 pound bull, with 14 points & 42 inch spread. Elwood Brutt harvested a 900 pound bull, Larry Gray harvested a 700 pound bull and finally, Bearpaw outfitter guide Kenneth Gauthier harvested a 550 pound 3 point bull. In 2008, Wade Beck harvested a big Bull with a 42" antler spread and weighing in at 895 Lbs field dressed. 2009 was again a successful Moose hunting season with Jim Morrow from Michigan harvesting a big 900 Lb 47" spread bull using his Matthews bow, also Mrs. Elodie Hache harvested a 600 Lb 7 point bull.
