Hey greg, who did you go with up there? What section of newfoundland? I have been up north with Viking Trail.

I learned quick, you got to be in shape.

Yougot a decent moose up there.
I went with Portland Creek Outfitters. We were near the northern tip of the peninsula, in the northwest corner of the island. If you're not in shape, you'll find out quickly!! [:-]

Thanks for the comments guy's.

Thats where I have been Around the Port Au Choix area. I was thinking if I ever went back, I would go south. It was so marshy up there.

Greg, reason I ask where you went is I have seen that exact same rock you pictured. I hunted with Viking trail before, and it was bought out by those payne fellers. I was at thecloud rivercamp. And your guide looked familuar.

I know at the base camp, the payne brothers had a beaver, and we were grounded for days over weather, and payne boys came over and took us to camp.

Big Country, there were actually two rocks like that! They were different mountains though. Our Outfitterwas Leonard Payne and his daughter, Shelly. Our guides were great and worked their butt's off for us. In my pic they are from left to right, Gerald, Izzy and Henri ( the way they pronounced it I thought they were saying "Onrey"). If I remember right, I believe that we were just north of the Cloud river. Mr. Payne does have a Beaver, I think he has 2 of them, and we were out of some supplies for a couple of days due to weather. We survived! One of the guides, Henri, hunts south of there. It may or may not be as marshy but it is definately hillier! Take your pick! [:-]

You're right on the terrian and being in shape, there was one guy that ate a lot of Advil every night. Our group had success of 4 for 5= #5 was only going to shoot a 45"=passed up 7-9 bulls.

thats kinda cool Greg, I bet we have beat over almost the same ground.

One big, big thing I suggest everyone going to newfoundland check out before you go with an outfitter. And that is make sure they have more than a cesna. Anything over 20MPH will ground a cesna. A beaver can handle it, and so can the helicopters. We were grounded at the base camps for 2 days while I saw the payne fellers take off 20 times in the beavers.

Just like I remembered it there Greg. I want to go back.

Greg,
change your mind on a mount yet? I have decided to do mine... was just going to do the horns, but what are the odds of going out and getting another that size in that area...
This is a pic of mine from NB this year... shot with rifle as well, even though we called him in to 25 yards and would have had a chip shot w/ the bow.

Same thing... I was just in awe by the sheer size of the animal...

Very nice Big!

I like your moose better. I would have mounted it if they were nice and brown and had good defined points like yours.

Mine looks to have been doing alot of digging.
