About

Pourvoirie Le Chasseur works an immense territory of mixed forest, lakes and rivers along the New Brunswick border and the Réserve faunique de Rimouski, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. Moose hunting is its specialty, with a success rate consistently above 80% (125 groups and 109 moose harvested in 2025), spread across eight four-day periods from mid-September to late October, on the American plan (inn) or the European plan (cabin). In spring, black bear is also hunted from stands over baited sites (bow, crossbow or rifle), an expertise developed since 1998. For fishing, four headwater lakes hold native and stocked brook trout, while the Kedgwick north-branch river winds 15 km through the territory (10 pools) for Atlantic salmon and brook trout fishing (mandatory catch-and-release), capped at 4 anglers per day. Lodging comes in two formats: the 16-room inn on the American plan (3 meals included, WiFi, cell coverage) or six intimate cabins on the European plan, set along the lakes and the salmon river. An experienced team of guides, a free downed-moose recovery and quartering service ('The Meat Machine Team'), a cold room, a blood-tracking-dog handler and a shooting range are all available to guests.

Re-verified 2026-08-06: still no published price. The /orignal/ page shows 'Rates, terms and information' with 'Contact us to book', no price grid. The 'Modalités 2026' (.docx) document is reachable again from the page (it was unreachable/commented out as of the 2026-06-26 pass) and was downloaded and read in full: it covers hunting rules (8 four-day periods from Sept 18 to Oct 27, 2026; calf allowed; female-with-calf harvest forbidden; soft-point ammunition banned; no zone transfers during the period) and a $20/night/person fee for summer access to the rented zone during prep season — but contains NO price grid for the hunt package itself. (For the record: a 2026-06-13 extraction reported group rates of roughly $11,000-$20,250 read from a document of the same name; that document is not in that state now, and today's re-read does not contain those figures — treat as currently unconfirmable, not as a live rate.) All 2026 packages are shown as fully booked (email cancellation waitlist). Success rate consistently above 80%; 125 groups and 109 moose harvested in 2025 (2013-2025 history shown on the page, figures unchanged since the last check).

About ten hunters welcomed each spring, often moose-hunt clients. A blood-tracking-dog handler is on hand to recover the bear after the shot. The page still states it is fully booked for the 2025 season (note not updated for 2026, unchanged since the last check).
