There is a considerable difference in bowhunting moose in Canada from East to West. On the eastern end of Canada is the Province of Newfoundland. This island has the highest moose density in the world, boasting of around three moose per square mile. These hunts can be arranged as a single species hunt or done in combination with woodland caribou a bowhunter wishing to take a 50" moose is looking at the wrong end of Canada if he is considering Newfoundland. While 50" bulls are there a 40" bull should be considered a fine trophy in NFLD. The size of the moose in Quebec and Ontario are not much larger. 

It is not until you get into the West ( Alberta and British Columbia ) do you start to find the larger bulls. BC probably is the best spot for trophy moose with bow and arrow. We have some very good outfitter in BC with very high success rates for bowhunting. Here 50" bulls are much more common, with a several bulls in the 55" - 60" class taken each year.
