Wildlife at your doorstep
At Long Lake Adventures we have the ideal territory for Trophy Moose hunting. We are situated on private land in northern New Brunswick in the most remote reaches of wildlife management zone ( WMZ ) 11 in an area surrounded by prime Moose habitat. We also have ready access to the most isolated areas of WMZ 7, the largest zone in the province. A mixture of clearcuts, second-growth hardwood, spruce bogs and mature hardwood ridges provide for a very healthy and steadily increasing Moose population in our part of N.B., with many large trophy bulls (50″ spreads +) calling this area home.
The experience
We are a 3- season outfitter who spends most of the year right here in the wilderness which allows us to find and follow potential Moose hunting spots daily. In July of each year, we set out an array of trail cams and we do a lot (to put it mildly) of walking and driving in order to select “the best of the best” areas to focus on when opening day rolls around.
We offer one-week all-inclusive packages that cover everything you’ll need except gratuities and license costs. The first two days of the week you can accompany your guide to the area you’ll be hunting in and take part in some of the advanced scouting yourself.
Our guides are all well experienced Moose hunters so if you haven’t had the opportunity to go on a Moose hunt, you’ll have the experience of a lifetime and you’ll also learn so many things, like how we interpret “Moose sign” and how it is relevant to the rut, which usually peaks around the dates of our one-week packages.
We will get your adrenaline rushing in anticipation of daybreak on day one of the hunt. Having these extra days in the woods also enhances the outdoor experience that makes a hunt at Long Lake Adventures stand apart from the others…when you step out the door in the morning, you’re already in the wilderness.
Hunting season
The New Brunswick Moose hunting season is roughly the last week of September for a 5-day hunt.
Moose hunting as a nonresident
To go Moose hunting in New Brunswick as a nonresident hunter you must apply to draw a license. In summary, there are 4 steps:
If your name is drawn, purchase your license
Select an outfitter, book a hunt
Pick up your license when you arrive in New Brunswick for the hunt in September
At this time, you must specify what zone you will be hunting in as all New Brunswick Moose hunting licenses are only valid for one WMZ. Again, we’ll mention we are in zone 11 however zone 7 is only about a 5-minute drive away. We scout the most remote parts of both zones. We will let you know before you leave home to come here which of these zones you will be hunting in.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, unfortunately we do not. The New Brunswick government makes a very limited number of tags available to hunting outfitters via a lottery system and outfitters are allowed a maximum of one tag each year. This is dependent, of course, on drawing a tag and if we do, our policy is to offer that tag to one of our most dedicated guests who visit annually during the bear season.

The only season that coincides with the moose season is the bear season, which is limited to crossbows (no rifles) during the week of moose season. Our moose hunts involve several hunting activities so we generally discourage this combination of hunts.
-
We are very fortunate to have a special agreement with a local butcher shop who will expedite the processing of your meat. Butchering is not included in our rate but all skinning and preparation, as well as delivery to the butcher shop is included.
