Quebec Moose Hunt

[Ali88]

Just pondering the thought of going to Quebec next year moose hunting, what does it actually cost for the outfitter and licence and anything else that we would have to buy, would also want to stay with a good outfitter, I heard there are some bad ones, believe it or not.

Ali-pm sent.

Cost can be day and night.
For what to buy,you need to figure out what will be included in the hunting fee, then buy stuff accordingly.
Some offer full accommodation/food /transportation/guide /game processing-some just the area /cottage/boat. Else is on You.

The outfitter will tell You what will be included for the moose tag also(You may need to buy it separately)
Good luck and let us know

Try to find an oufitter in Zone-1 (Gaspesie), it's the area with the highest concentration of moose

as a non resident, you don't qualify for the female draw. the license will cost about $500 and you will need to be at least two to bag a moose.

It can vary quite drastically between outfitters and areas. Even the tag ratios vary , the place we go is 2 hunters to a tag, where as I have heard of other places that are 3 or 4 to a tag. We hunt out of a small cabin with no guide. Generally you end up with an area or territory that your group exclusively hunts within. Ours is around 10 square KM. There can be language barriers as well, if someone in your group speaks French it is a big asset.
Usually if you are new to an outfitter you will likely be slotted in the last week, as other people that have hunted with them consistently will have first choice on moving up to the 1st or 2nd week if it becomes available.
Something new to consider is the Ontario MNR changed the rules recently on bringing meat from moose and deer back into Ontario, it now has to be completely deboned, processed and packaged in a strict manor before entering Ontario

All good to know, the reason I was wondering about outfitters is that a buddy of mine went and he said the area they hunted was more of a residential area with a lot of privately owned land, needless to say they won't be going back.
