Ironbound Outfitters' Sharon Valley Lodge has one of Newfoundland's most populated areas of Black Bear.

Black hunting, Newfoundland - BLACK BEAR HUNTING $1400-$1800/six days discounts are available for combo hunts, groups, and late bookings. Hunts still available for 2007.

Both our spring "spot and stalk" and "baited" black bear hunting is done in May. Sometimes the snow is all gone by the middle of April and in other years it stays until the first week in May. Although knowing the weather conditions very far in advance is impossible, most of our hunts are booked months before the actual hunts begin.

By hunting in May, we know, with a great deal of certainty, that all our hunters will be hunting in prime time. After June 15th, the black bears begin to rub the fur off their hides.

All the black bear hunting packages are for six days and we take only six people to hunt at a time. To ensure the conservation of the black bear the Government of Newfoundland as decreased the number of black bear taken per licence to "one" for sport hunting. Each hunter pays for a license which entitles him to a trophy black bear and that is what we expect him to take.

One of the advantages of bear hunting with IRONBOUND OUTFITTERS is our combination and customized hunts. We offer bear hunting that is customized especially for the individual hunter. If a hunter wishes, we also offer a moose and caribou during the bear hunt. Fishing is also available at no extra cost other than the license.

The cost of bear hunting is $1,400-$1,800 (U.S.), all inclusive. This includes license tags, food, guide and travel expenses while bear hunting. We also look after getting the hunter his license and export permit along with the preparation of the trophy.
