Big Paw Outfitters

Big Paw Outfitters operates a hunting lodge in Renous, New Brunswick, specializing in guided black bear and moose hunts in Zone 7—the largest and least-hunted zone in the province. This location advantage directly translates to results: they consistently achieve the highest harvest success rate per hunter in the region.

5-day hunts run in two seasons: - Spring: May 18–June 19 (2026) / May 17–June 18 (2027) - Fall: September 1–18 (2026) / September 6–17 (2027)

$2,100 US per hunter includes 6 nights lodging, guide, all meals, transportation, skinning, field dressing, and trophy storage. Legal weapons: rifle, crossbow, muzzleloader, or shotgun with slug.

Hunts occur over guaranteed active bait sites. Most stands are permanent tree stands positioned within 20 yards of bait—close enough for solid trophy evaluation. All baits are trail-timed to determine peak activity.

5-day hunts run late September (last Tuesday–Saturday): - 2026: September 22–26 - 2027: September 21–25

$4,600 US per hunter includes 6 nights lodging, guide, all meals, transportation, skinning, field dressing, and trophy storage. Moose regularly exceed 1,000 pounds with magnificent racks.

Minutes from the Miramichi River headwaters, they offer fully guided striped bass fishing. In 2018, an estimated one million stripers migrated through the rivers. Typical days yield 30–40 hookups with fish measuring 30+ inches.

Rates: - $400/person with overnight lodging, guide, and boat - $300/person per day (guide and boat only) - $100/night lodging only

The camp sits within 45 minutes of their furthest hunting sites. Home-cooked meals are standard. Guides put 100% effort into placement and success. The log cabin offers wilderness comfort—and a fire pit for evening stories about the day's hunt and the one that got away.
