FAQs From Our New York Hunters
Garia Bay Outfitters stands out by offering a unique combination of remote wilderness, exclusive hunting grounds, and an unparalleled focus on larger game. Unlike New York, where hunting opportunities can be limited by urban development and crowded private lands, our Newfoundland location provides access to vast, untouched territories rich in wildlife. Our expert guides bring decades of experience, ensuring you have the best chance at a successful and enjoyable hunt. Additionally, our all-inclusive packages mean you won’t have to worry about the logistics—everything from accommodations to meals is taken care of, allowing you to focus solely on your hunting experience.
Newfoundland is renowned for having some of the largest moose populations in North America. Adult bulls typically weigh between 800 and 1,200 pounds, with some exceptional individuals exceeding 1,500 pounds. Our hunting grounds also host a healthy population of black bears, which generally weigh between 200 and 600 pounds, with many reaching trophy sizes. The combination of abundant food sources and low hunting pressure in Newfoundland contributes to the robust sizes of these animals, offering hunters a thrilling challenge.
At Garia Bay, we offer both guided and semi-guided hunting options to accommodate various preferences and skill levels. Our experienced guides are intimately familiar with the terrain and wildlife, providing invaluable assistance in tracking and stalking your game. For those who prefer a more independent experience, we can set you up with semi-guided options that still include support and resources. This flexibility allows you to choose the level of guidance that best suits your hunting style and goals.
The terrain at Garia Bay is diverse and stunning, characterized by thick boreal forests, rolling hills, and tranquil lakes. While this variety provides breathtaking views and great hunting spots, it can also present physical challenges. Hunters should be prepared for hiking over uneven ground, navigating through dense foliage, and possibly wading through water in certain areas. It’s recommended to bring sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, and gear suited for both comfort and mobility. Proper physical preparation will enhance your experience and enjoyment of the hunt.
While we cannot offer guarantees for trophy-sized animals, Newfoundland’s rich ecosystem gives hunters excellent opportunities for success. Our dedicated guides know the area well and work tirelessly to help you locate and harvest prime specimens. Many hunters who visit Garia Bay leave with impressive trophies thanks to the high moose population density and the absence of hunting pressure compared to more populated regions. Your chances of encountering trophy-quality animals are significantly increased here, making for an exciting hunting adventure.
Transporting firearms into Canada involves a few important steps. First, you must complete a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration (form RCMP 5589), which you will present at the Canadian border. This form allows you to bring in a non-restricted firearm for personal use, such as hunting. Ensure that your firearm is properly stored and secured during transit, and that you are familiar with Canadian laws regarding firearm ownership and use. It’s also a good idea to check with both U.S. and Canadian authorities for any updates to regulations or requirements, ensuring that you are fully compliant.

The most convenient way to reach Garia Bay is to fly from one of New York’s major airports (like JFK or LaGuardia) to St. John’s International Airport (YYT) in Newfoundland.

We also offer transportation assistance, so you can arrange pick-up services if preferred. Our team is here to help you navigate travel logistics so your journey is as smooth as possible.
