Good to know
Pourvoirie Fournier Plein Air is located in the heart of the Gaspé countryside, in the Matapédia Valley, where moose hunting, fly fishing for Atlantic salmon and dog sledding are all on the program. Fishing is done on the Matapédia, Matane and Cap-Chat rivers with professional guides (à la carte format or packages with lodging). Moose hunting takes place on private lands in zones 01 and 02, several near the Matane Wildlife Reserve. The outfitter also runs a kennel of some thirty Alaskan husky dogs and offers dog-sledding outings year-round. Lodging in two fully equipped cabins (European plan): the Chalet Principal
in St-Vianney (up to 8 people, available year-round) and the Chalet Matalik in Sainte-Florence, on the bank of the Matapédia River.
Pourvoirie Fournier Plein Air developed its operations in the heart of Gaspésie and the Matapédia Valley by combining the traditions of moose hunting, Atlantic salmon fishing, and dog sledding. The establishment's history is closely linked to a passion for the outdoors, guiding, and canine breeding. The outfitter is home to a kennel of thirty Alaskan Huskies from renowned lineages, including descendants of champions who competed in legendary endurance races such as the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest, as well as dogs from the Maxime Fournier lineage. Beyond hosting tourists and offering excursions throughout most of the year, the outfitter's team
is distinguished by its commitment to competitive mushing at both regional and international levels. Throughout its sporting history, the outfitter's team has participated in several mid-distance races in Quebec and the United States, including the Challenge du Lac Matapédia in Saint-Vianney, the Wilderness Sled Dog Race in Greenville, La Chic-Chocs in New-Richmond, and the Can-Am Crown International in Fort Kent, where the team completed the 100-mile event. This deep connection to the tradition of sledding and canine sport shapes the identity and expertise of the business.
Matapédia Valley, private lands in zones 01 and 02, near the Matane Wildlife Reserve, Matapédia, Matane and Cap-Chat rivers.
Pourvoirie Fournier Plein Air operates in the heart of Gaspésie, within the Matapédia Valley, spanning wildlife management zones 01 and 02. Its territory is based on private lands located in the immediate vicinity of the Réserve faunique de Matane. The natural environment consists of vast Gaspé forests and rugged mountains, providing an ideal habitat for North American wildlife. This territory is distinguished by a high moose density, among the highest in Quebec. Habitat management is maintained through the establishment of salt licks, the creation of access trails, and the monitoring of recent forest cuts, all of which encourage the presence
and movement of big game. The surrounding river system is a prime environment for Atlantic salmon. The outfitter operates on and alongside three major rivers known for their clear, pure waters: - The Matapédia River, a wide waterway renowned for its large salmon and annual runs estimated between 3,000 and 5,000 fish, home to the famous Matalik pool near Sainte-Florence. - The Matane River, famous for its numerous pools that are easily accessible by wading. - The Cap-Chat River, a wilder, more preserved waterway offering low fishing pressure. In winter, the forested territory surrounding Lake Matapédia and Saint-Vianney offers a snowy backdrop for the outfitter's kennel teams, composed of about thirty Alaskan Huskies.
Pourvoirie Fournier Plein Air offers a range of activities focused on hunting, fly fishing, and dog sledding in the heart of the Matapédia Valley. Moose hunting takes place on private lands developed with watchtowers, salt licks, and access trails. The season lasts 18 days in total, divided into nine days for bow and crossbow hunting and nine days for firearm hunting. The outfitter provides services including game recovery, quartering, cold room access, and the assistance of a bloodhound tracker. Atlantic salmon fishing is practiced exclusively by fly fishing on three iconic rivers: - The Matapédia River, explored by guided canoe
or wading, providing access to deep pools like the Matalik pool. - The Matane River, particularly suited for wading and dry fly fishing. - The Cap-Chat River, prized for its pristine environment. Fishing packages include the services of professional guides, with the possibility of combining several rivers during the same stay. During the winter season, the establishment organizes dog sledding excursions led by mushers. Participants can drive their own team of Alaskan Huskies on forest trails offering views of Lake Matapédia. Excursions range from a one-hour initiation (12 km) to a half-day (24 km) including dog care, up to a VIP mid-distance training package and multi-day stays. Kennel visits round out the off-season offerings. Vacation lodging is available year-round at the Main Lodge in Saint-Vianney and from May to November at Chalet Matalik in Sainte-Florence.

Nous avons pris le forfait demi journée (2h) et nous avons absolument adoré notre expérience. Nous étions 2 avec Maxime et nous avons pu conduire chacun à tour de rôle le deuxième traîneau. C’était vraiment une expérience incroyable et nous reviendrons avec plaisir ! Les chiens sont supers, nous avons pu passer un peu de temps avec eux au début et à la fin, c’était vraiment top. Merci beaucoup Maxime pour toute l’expérience et tes anecdotes / réponses à nos questions !

Expérience de chien de traineau mémorable avec une proximité des animaux qui vous brisera le cœur de repartir. N'hésitez pas à appeler pour connaître les conditions de neige, parce que St-Vianney c'est presqu'un centimètres de neige par habitant, avec de la neige 6 mois par année.

Excellente expérience. Nous avons réussi notre chasse trois années sur trois! Notre organisateur/guide Maxime nous a bien enligné avec ses recommandations et nous rejoint rapidement lors du tir pour nous aider avec la sortie de bois. Great experience. We have been successful in our hunt three out of three years. Maxime has always been spot on in his recommendations and we can always count on him for help getting our moose out of the woods.

C'était notre troisième année de chasse et encore une superbe expérience. 4 orignaux récoltés en 3 ans avec notre groupe. Maxime et son équipe sont dédiés et très présents pour leurs clients. Des beaux territoires, faciles d'accès avec une bonne présence d'orignaux. C'est un rendez-vous annuel pour nous!

Très beau séjour de chasse à prix plus que raisonnable! Très beau territoire de chasse aussi où on n’a jamais croisé personne pendant 8 jours de chasse intensive. Beau chalet neuf complètement équipé. Nous avons vue plusieurs orignaux dans la semaine, dont un à buck à moins de 15’ qui n’a pas voulu nous offrir d’opportunité de tir (à l’arc) malheureusement. Honnêtement très satisfait de notre chasse semaine. Le propriétaire est même venu nous offrir l’accès à d’autre territoire lorsque que les vents se sont acharné sur notre territoire très buché. Merci à Maxime et son équipe pour le beau séjour de chasse 2023! Déjà réservé pour l’an prochain!
