Looking for a Moose hunt for 2010
 

I'm planning a 2010 Moose hunt , Does anyone have information on a quality hunt that is priced reasonable. I live in upstate NY , I would like to drive and not fly someplace! Preferably within 15 hours of home. I have put in for the Maine lottery and Newhampshire with no luck and frankly Im sick of waiting. Thinking about Canada! Any information would be great. Thanks Paul

when you find one let me know! I've tried to find a good one in both Quebec an Ontario with no luck..alot of outfitters but looooow results and then on teeny bulls...looking at Newfoundland but there too outfitters are abundant but GOOd outfitters are spotty.
like I said let me know if you find a reputable outfitter where I can drive to from the northeast.

apply for a New Brunswick moose tag... not too bad of odds... very high sucess

Do you need an outfitter here, is it one person per bull tag or do you need two people per Bull? Does anyone no of a good outfitter in Newfoundland? Price ?

I just got back from Newfoundland and a couple of guys had driven up from NY. Great people and had a fun time but I didn't get my moose. I was mainly after a Woodland Caribou. I could have shot plenty of cow's but was holding off for a bull. The outfitter I went with was great and I'm actually going back in a couple of weeks at a great price to try to seal the deal.

There are a lot of great outfitters in NF and the hunts are pretty reasonable.

I used to go to NF. But I won't go back. Best you ever see there IMO is maybe a 50" moose. Everytime I took off from deerlake, I only noticed 2 trophies ever.

I will be going to BC next time.

Hard to kill a BC or Yukon class moose in NF, I liken it to killing a B&C whitetail in Pa. it happens but not often. I'm looking for a meat hunt as I have a couple of 50"+ bulls now on the wall from BC & Ak

NF is more affordable. Average hunt is 3K.

I seen hundreds of those woodland caribou. I alwasy wanted to kill one, just didn't want to pay the extra 1500.

I went here in 2005

Excellent outfitter!

I will admit that there aren't many moose considered trophy as compared to other subspecies and places.

Success rates are very, very high compared to other areas also.

This is a fun hunt! The outfitter above has fly in camps.

They did have a few trophy camps in newly opened area( = older bulls) but they cost an extra$1000 I believe.

Spike00 should be hunting with biggameoutfitting as we speak. I sent him a PM, but have not heard from him. Maybe when he gets back home he will give us a report.

Paul,

Keep plugging in those NH and ME lottery applications. Just when you least expect it, your turn may come.

Don't give up.

For a great time I would try Snowshoe Lake Hunting and Fishing out of Millertown, Newfoundland. I hunted 3 years in a row from 2003 to 2005 with them for caribou but they also take out moose hunters with very high success rates on nice bulls. We always saw plenty of moose and had 100% success on trophy caribou all 3 years. I would have been going back except I now do a DIY Colorado elk hunt instead. The lodging is comfortable and the food just fantastic. They always have great guides and overall it was a wonderful experience. We drove from VT and it was about 15 hours to the ferry then a 6-7 hour passage we usually took at night and slept on board then about 6 hours to the lodge. It is a family run operation and anyone interested please PM me for more details.

Paul:

In addition to the New Foundland hunt I PM'ed you about we also have a British Columbia hunt that is a great deal. Here is the link for the hunt details: http://www.premierhuntingadventures....93-hunt-17-mo/

It is $5500 per hunter and only two hunters taken on this 10 day hunt. We ended up booking a single hunter on this hunt in 2009. He killed the 4th bull he saw on Day 3. Below is a photo of his bull.

If you can draw a New Brunswick moose tag we have an outfitter that will give you a free moose hunt when you book a black bear hunt with them and they actually have a pretty good success ratio on their moose hunts and a very good success ratio on their bear hunts. The only client of ours that drew a moose tag to take advantage of this deal killed his moose. It was a young bull but he had already missed a big bull. The moose hunt is basically free other than paying for the fuel it takes the to get you your moose. You go up a week earlier than your scheduled bear hunt and do your moose hunt then when you have either killed your moose or run out of time you begin your bear hunt. If you can draw the tag it is a great deal. You have a very legitimate chance of killing a moose and a black bear for around $2500.
