About Woodman's Outfitters
Premier Newfoundland Hunting Outfitter
As a Newfoundland hunting outfitter, our primary goal is for you to enjoy the hunt with the same intensity and respect that we do. We don’t just guide trips; we aim to share a lifelong passion for big game hunting, inviting you to experience the deep connection to the wilderness that drives us every day. To us, providing “your money’s worth” is only the baseline—we want you to walk away with something far more valuable: a profound, personal experience in the heart of the Newfoundland backcountry.
We intentionally operate as a specialized, boutique outfitter, now offering two premier ways to experience the hunt. Whether you choose the rugged accessibility of our newly acquired Hinterland Drive-In Lodge or the remote seclusion of our Blue Hill Pond Fly-In camp, we maintain a strict limit on the number of licenses for our territories. This ensures two vital things: a healthy, thriving population of trophy moose, caribou, and black bear, and a truly personalized level of service.
This dual-location approach allows us to tailor our expertise to your specific needs, ensuring that your success remains our success. We take immense pride in the quality of the experience we provide, and we are confident you will see the difference that personal attention and professional scouting make. I look forward to welcoming you this fall to our lodges here in Newfoundland for an adventure you won’t soon forget.
“Until we meet with a cold beverage and fresh moose.”

Why Hunt With Woodman’s Outfitters?
Experience the raw beauty of Newfoundland’s wilderness with an outfitter that prioritizes sustainability, trophy quality, and authentic hospitality across our premier hunting locations.
1. Diverse Hunting Territories
We offer two distinct ways to access Newfoundland’s prime big game habitat, ensuring every hunter finds their ideal environment.
- Hinterland Lodge (Drive-In): Our newly acquired cornerstone for drive-in operations. Located in a high-density corridor, it offers world-class moose and caribou hunting with the convenience of 4×4 access.
- Blue Hill Pond (Fly-In): Bordering the Bay du Nord Wilderness Protected Area, this camp is reachable only by floatplane or helicopter, offering total seclusion for those seeking a remote backcountry experience.
- The Woodman Advantage: Regardless of the camp, we navigate the rugged landscape via Argo, boat, and expert spot-and-stalk on foot.
2. World-Class Trophy Potential
We manage our licenses strictly to ensure high success rates year after year. Our area is famous for producing heavy hitters:
- Moose: Bulls reaching up to 1,200 lbs with 50″+ spreads (95% success rate at Hinterland).
- Woodland Caribou: Access to one of the most sought-after species in North America (100% success rate at Hinterland).
- Black Bear: Some of Canada’s largest bears, weighing up to 650 lbs.
- The “Rut” Advantage: We hunt during the peak of the rut, using veteran calling methods to bring trophy bulls into close range.
3. Modern Comforts & Local Culture
While the hunting is rugged, your stay doesn’t have to be. Whether you are at our drive-in lodge or fly-in camp, you’ll experience true Newfoundland hospitality.
- Elite Facilities: Our lodges offer modern amenities, comfortable quarters, and stunning wilderness views.
- Authentic Dining: Enjoy “good old Newfoundland grub” prepared by local certified cooks. From traditional home-cooked meals to local delicacies, you won’t leave the table hungry.
- Expert Leadership: Owner/operator Mark Woodman brings decades of personal hunting experience to every trip, supported by a team of veteran guides and professional meat preparation specialists.
What to Expect on Your Hunt
- Expert Tactics: We utilize professional spot-and-stalk and calling methods. By strictly limiting our licenses and hunting during the peak of the rut, we consistently bring trophy bulls into close range for an heart-pounding experience.
- Proven Success: Our territories are among the most productive in the province. Our Hinterland Lodge currently boasts a 95% success rate on Moose and a 100% success rate on Caribou, while our Blue Hill Pond camp continues its legacy of high-density sightings in the heart of the wilderness.
- Abundant Wildlife: Expect a true backcountry immersion. Whether you are watching black bears from the patio at Blue Hill Pond or scouting high-traffic moose corridors near Hinterland, you will be surrounded by Newfoundland’s most iconic species.
- Hunt Options: We offer a variety of world-class adventures, including Newfoundland Moose, Woodland Caribou, and Black Bear hunts. For the ultimate experience, ask about our combination hunts to maximize your time in the bush.
“We are passionate about the hunt. We invite you to join us in the heart of Newfoundland for an unforgettable, professional, and successful big game adventure.”
