2013 Newfoundland Moose and Bear Hunt Recommendations?
« on: April 04, 2013, 02:56:49 AM »
I just recently retired and now have the time for a Newfoundland Combo Hunt. Can anybody recommend an outfitter or two that they have first hand experience with??

I have wanted to hunt there since I was a kid!  I had friends whose fathers went every year...  By the time I have time, I'll be to old and blind to hunt!   ::)
 
I'll still be interested in other folks experiences though!   ;D

 Been to NF a few times for both moose and 'bou . You would do well to check out Moose Valley Outfitters. A great family run outfit. They get alot of repeat hunters so start talking to then early. A hunt up there for moose has a  real high success rate but except for a few cases you looking at a meat hunt not a trophy hunt .
 Also be ready to do some walking in some pretty rough areas at those fly in camps. Those tundras and the "tuckamore" can be a deceiving.
  Those camps that are not a fly in camp, most of the time are road hunts, one guide ,two hunters riding around in a truck.
 Do you homework early, ask a lot of questions, get a list of last years hunters and talk to as many as you can . Don't just talk to one or two they give you and you'll have a good hunt and a good time.
 NF is as great place to get a hunt at a reasonable price now when compaired to those in western Canada.
