In this episode of The Maritime Outdoorsman Podcast, Dave talks with Dick Fevens, owner/operator of Sandy Lake Lodge, a remote Newfoundland Moose and Bear hunting lodge.

Sandy Lake Lodge enjoys a healthy population of moose, caribou and bears in the area surrounding its quiet and tranquil location. Listen as Dick talks about the lodge, the unique northern Canada hunting opportunities available, as well as a couple of truly incredible hunting experiences that you won’t want to miss.

Here’s just one of the testimonials about this Newfoundland moose and bear hunting lodge:

“This was my first time here and not the last. I didn’t know what to expect but everyone made my father and I feel right at home. As far as the hunting, it was the best experience I could ever have. It’s definitely my dream hunt. I’ve always wanted to do a long range shot, and when I saw that moose drop after I pulled the trigger, it was just unreal and I just want to thank you Dick for the hunt of a lifetime.“
