Nova Scotia, Canada Moose Hunting Guides and Outfitters

Nova Scotia is one of Canada’s Maritime Provinces. It comprises a peninsula, joined to the southeastern corner of New Brunswick, and a large island called Cape Breton. On the south lies the Atlantic Ocean; on the north, the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

This area of the province is over 21,000 square miles, of which Cape Breton Island contains one seventh. In general, Nova Scotia consists of low land, sloping gradually to the southwest. Two parallel lines of hills, known as the North and South Mountains, skirt the Bay of Fundy shore, and between them lies the fertile Annapolis Valley. They reappear north of Minas Basin as the Cobequid Mountains. They are a northern extension of the Appalachian system, but their highest peak is barely 1,100 feet. Cape Breton is much more rugged, with mountains ranging from 1,200 feet to 1,500 feet high.

The rivers are small but numerous, and teem with salmon, trout, and other fish. There are innumerable lakes, the haunt of wild fowl. The beautiful Brras d’Or lakes of Cape Breton are salt, being really an arm of the sea. Over half the land surface of the province is in a state of nature, its bush, barrens, and bogs being the home of the moose deer, bear, partridge, and woodcock.

Because it is nearly surrounded by water, Nova Scotia has fewer sudden changes and extremes of temperature than has the mainland of the continent. The winters are moderate, and the summers mild and equable, the highest temperature at Halifax seldom exceeding 86 degrees. The region has become a popular summer resort. The annual rainfall is about 45 inches. Heavy fogs are common in the coastal sections.

Many types of small game and big game animals can be hunted in the providence. You should be able to find a Nova Scotia hunting guide or outfitter to help in your next trip.
