Moose Hunting Management Plan

A New Approach to Moose Hunting

Dear customers,

Since 2022, Pavillon Richer now offers only 5 hunting territories available to rent per period of 7 nights for 3 weeks. Therefore, we only have 15 hunting groups per season. Each territories have an average area of 45 km² (see adjacent map).

To allow hunters to familiarize themselves with their new territory, a 3–4-day prospecting weekend during the summer is included in your hunting package.

We believe that responsible management of our hunting grounds promotes the health of our moose population over the long term. We are one of the first outfitters in Quebec to completely change our management to be able to improve the hunting experience for our hunters.

We are convinced that this format has several positive effects on your hunting experience. This allows us, among other things, to offer you a larger hunting territory and improved facilities.

Good quality and a good hunting experience requires good management!

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
