We spent a New Year's Eve there back in 1970. Those Newfies are crazy and a ton of fun (from what I remember).
Bringing meat is no problem. When I hunt Colorado and bag an elk I process and freeze it then pack it in a large 156 qt cooler and it is still frozen after a 3 day trip back home to Vermont. If the meat isn't frozen it can still be brought home with some dry ice packed into the cooler. Yup caribou is indeed a delicious meat. I have killed 3 and so has one of my hunting partners Rob. We just had them processed out there and then packed them in the coolers for the 1 day trip back home. Together we have brought back a dozen or more elk and mule deer from Colorado on a 3 day truck trip. Rob has a place out there and a freezer so we do all of our own processing now.
