nyflyer, why don't you check into quebec? lots closer, good moose population. also, if you felt up to it, you don't need a guide! i looked into doing it 2 years ago. after you do your homework, and get the proper permits, you just have to form a "party". if a person shoots a moose, tags come in two parts, one partner has one part, the other one the second part. both need to tag. trouble is, if 3 people go, the way it works, one goes home empty handed. but, you can buy tags over the counter. personally, this is the way i would do it. get a hotel on this side of the border, hunt on the other side. seems like the tags were only 100? or so. or, i saw plenty of guides advertising. don't forget the new hampshire draw, the odds for an out-of stater getting a tag are supposed to be about the best in the country. guess i still can't beat the odds, yet to see one with my name on it.

vtbuck what is the chance at a 50" moose? If I go farther north are the moose bigger? would like to look into this hunt any names numbers web sites I could check out. email me with anything you can. Thank you

http://www.fapaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/index1.htm try this website for quebec moose information, etc. someone there should be able to tell you how to do a do-it-yourself moose hunt, too. i believe they had outfitter listings also.

hey nyflyer, just happened to check it out, we have some pretty big bulls in vt., too. the largest bull shot this year, buy a 14 year old girl, was 63". big enough for ya? hard to draw a tag though, but you never know until you try.
