I hunted NL 3 times in a row 2003 to 2005 all at the same outfitter Snowshoe Lake Hunting and Fishing out of Millertown, Newfoundland. They have a comfortable cabin complex located right on Snowshoe Lake which is about a 2 hour ride on dirt roads from the 2 lane paved road which goes to Millertown.The hunting area is about in the center of the Island and it is excellent for woodland caribou, moose and bear. I always went near the end of October and only hunted caribou but the hunters that go late Sept or early October do quite well for moose. I have seen plenty of moose antlers in the 30 to 50 inch range at the cabin drying and on live animals in the field. They offer combo hunts for both bou and moose but I would recommend going for longer than a 5 day hunt if you want 2 animals. We always had 100% success hunting caribou and from what I have been told the ratio is about the same for moose especially during the rut when the good bulls can be called. We saw lots of moose while caribou hunting and our guide called a few in for us to look at even though the rut was past. Get ready for some serious hiking in a pristine wilderness setting with some very experienced guides who can really call a bull moose. Good 18” rubber boots and quality rain gear are a must. The terrain is black spruce bogs mixed with open tundra and walking is difficult and wet. If you like good home cooking, great guides and what was a reasonable price last time I checked, try Snowshoe. The only reason why I stopped going was because I started to hunt elk out west.

book early though since they are mostly filled with return clients who are given first priority.
