The best times for hunting moose and black bears at Garia Bay are fall months, from September to November, aligning with the prime hunting seasons for both species. During this period, moose are actively searching for food in preparation for the winter, and black bears are in the final stages of fattening up before hibernation. The cooler weather and increased animal activity make these months the perfect time for a successful hunt. Our guides are highly experienced in these seasonal patterns, ensuring you’re in the best position for success.
