Ultimate Moose and Bear Hunting Experience in Canada
At Garia Bay Outfitters, Michigan hunters find something you simply won’t get back home, a chance to experience the true Eastern Canadian wilderness.

Our rugged, untamed terrain demands respect and rewards those willing to leave the beaten path behind.
Each season, we welcome U.S. hunters who want more than just a license, they want a deep, authentic connection to the land and its wildlife. Our Newfoundland moose hunts take you deep into country rich with fresh sign, led by guides who’ve lived and hunted these woods for decades. Meanwhile, our Canadian black bear hunts deliver impressive success rates in some of the most active bear zones, offering real trophies and unforgettable experiences.
Experience Moose Hunting in Newfoundland
Moose hunting in Newfoundland offers an entirely different experience than what most Michigan hunters are used to. Instead of glassing field edges, you’ll be tracking Eastern Canadian bulls through miles of mossy bogs, dense timber ridges, and untouched wilderness valleys.
Our guided moose hunts are hands-on, challenging, and incredibly rewarding. You’ll hunt alongside seasoned local guides who know how to read the land and bring bulls in close. We take care of full accommodations, hearty meals, and all the ground logistics so you can focus fully on the hunt.
If you’re a Michigan hunter ready to step up from whitetails to a true Northern adventure, explore our Newfoundland moose hunting trips and start planning your journey into the wild.

Our guides keep close watch on active sites, study bear patterns, and get you into the best locations. This hunt is challenging but backed by solid experience, smart setups, and high shot opportunities.
If you’ve never hunted bear in Canada before, we’ll guide you through every step. Explore our guided black bear hunting trips and get ready to meet Newfoundland’s top predators up close.
