According to the latest survey by the Fédération des pourvoiries du Québec, hunting in a hunting outfitter accounted for 86,321 days/activity in 2019 (the days/activity represents the number of customers who carried out activities in a hunting outfitter multiplied by the number of days , where everyone went on a hunting trip). of these customers stayed with the supplier). This number therefore corresponds to 7.7% days/activities for the 510 outfitters in operation. Additionally, relying on license sales numbers since then, we see enthusiasm for big game hunting, particularly with 372,000 licenses sold.
Of the outfitters that are members of the Fédération des pourvoiries du Québec, 269 offer hunting outfitters. They are common throughout Quebec. Of these, there are 102 that offer guided hunts for those who are eager to get started or want to feel more supported to live out their adventure. Among the sought-after animal species, the moose is of course the first. Hunting for this species is offered by more than 200 providers.
Based on 2022 license sales, whitetail deer hunting is offered at 55 hunting operations with 156 licenses sold. 19,500 permits were sold for black bears. There are 181 outfitters offering facilities, with bait locations to increase the chances of success. Duck hunting is available at 32 hunting shops and wild turkey hunting is available at 11 hunting shops.
In several regions, particularly in Outaouais, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Mauricie, Laurentides and Lanaudière, it is possible to combine a hunting trip with an autumn fishing adventure.
Manage the territory
A total of 77 hunting outfitters offer the opportunity to visit their hunting areas for a day and practice their daily hunting of small game there.
A very important fact to highlight is that outfitters with exclusive rights, thanks to their toolbox, have the ability to advance or extend the hunting season for elk and white-tailed deer in certain areas.
When hunting for elk, if a hunter does not kill an elk during his stay in a hunting shop, he can continue his hunt in the zone specified on his license, as long as the period of hunting for this animal with the good type of weapon has expired, is open.
A very important aspect when it comes to hunting outfitters is that the hunting outfitters manage their areas sustainably. They carry out sound wildlife management and invest in wildlife development and forestry.
Intact forests
Despite the forest fires, most hunting areas are not affected and are still intact. The outfitters have done everything to ensure that amateurs who trust them have a great hunting season. There are several ways to find information about hunting equipment.
First, there is the website www.pourvoiries.com where you can find the different Regions and Game tabs.
You can also follow the different outfitters’ Facebook pages where you can find information like available spots and more.
It’s up to you to benefit from the expertise of Quebec outfitters.
