Great experience overall. The Black Bear hunting was a grind and the weather tested us, but the guides were patient and put me on animals. Communication before the trip was outstanding. Would go again.
Tough, fair and unforgettable. We glassed hard for days before I got my shot at a mature Black Bear. Newfoundland & Labrador is stunning. Dispatch set expectations honestly up front — no sales pitch, just straight talk.
From the first phone call to the flight home, these folks were dialed in. The Black Bear country in Newfoundland & Labrador is everything they said it would be. Professional guides, honest advice, and a hunt I'll be telling stories about for years.
