    Lacross Alfa Burly loose fit?

    I tried two other brands, same issue in all three. I'm not normally a rubber boots kind of hunter, but it's what's recommended for my Newfoundland moose hunt next year. Thank you for the input

    Lacross Alfa Burly loose fit?

    That's good to know it's not just me, and there is a remedy. I always were a liner sock, and a wool sock. I think I may also put on those skin patches, I can't think of what it's called. Thank you

    Lacross Alfa Burly loose fit?

    Trying to get everything ready for moose in Newfoundland next fall. I like the feel of the boot, one size smaller, and I can't get them off. Has anyone had this problem, and would adding a felt sole insert helped tighten them up?

    Kenetrek slippage

    I have the Mountain Extreme 1000's, and have had great luck with them in bad weather, but if the ground is loose, muddy, or slick they won't stick better than any other cleated boot. What they do though is fit incredibly well, give awesome ankle support, and allow comfort when climbing.

    358 Winchester for upcoming NL moose hunt

    today was my latest test day. 51.2gr of TAC, and bullet seated to 2.790" very compressed load. got it dialed in at 100yds, average muzzle velocity was 2639fps. I ordered my free turret from Leupold, and at some point I'll be testing it out to 200 and 300yds.

    travel route from Maine into New Brunswick?

    I'm driving up to Newfoundland next year for moose. Is there a preference of border crossing with firearms, and meat? Houlton/Woodstock on I-95 or St Stephen on US1?

    field dressing responsibilities?

    I was still contemplating taking my pack frame because its very light, and if it's within my weight limit, why not, right? It's an Exo Mountain, and with the smallest bag doesn't weigh much

    field dressing responsibilities?

    I've put down a deposit for 2025, so haven't received any solid confirmation, but was curios what everyone else has experienced

    field dressing responsibilities?

    I did ask if I needed to bring my pack frame, and he said No, just a regular backpack for rain coat, lunch, water bottle

    field dressing responsibilities?

    I figure they have done so many, they know the easiest ways, but I will jump in anywhere I can.

    Do you 'test-drive' your new gear before the season?

    a few years ago when I started elk hunting in CO, I was planning on hiking in, and camping all over the mountains during 2nd rifle season. I bought a Big Agnes bivy, and a Kelty 0deg bag. We got hit with some snow, and 10deg weather in OH during Feb, so I set it up in our yard, and slept in it...

    field dressing responsibilities?

    when hunting with an outfitter in Newfoundland, who does the field dressing, the hunter or the guide? or does it differ from outfitter to outfitter?

    Newfoundland moose hunt

    any issues bringing back unprocessed meat? I suppose proof of sex still attached? deboned in camp? I'm booking through an outfitter with fly-in camps. I've read a few stories where guys who use processors end up with 75-100 pounds less than expected.

    thoughts on Newfoundland moose hunting rainwear {September}

    I went ahead and ordered the full set to see how if I liked it. It feels durable enough to wear the pants over maybe just insulated under pants. I will probably put the coat in my backpack, and wear my Kuiu jacket which isn't rain proof, but will repel light moisture. If it is full on rain, I'll...

    Limit on meat brought back into USA from Canada?

    Repost again when you do. I'd like to get a copy of that if possible. I'm a year away, but trying to get these details done now. Thank you

    thoughts on Newfoundland moose hunting rainwear {September}

    The outfitter said we'd be walking 1-2mi average, no more than 3-4mi at most. I want something breathable like the FL sets because when I say I sweat easily, I mean I really sweat. I'd be unbearable to be around, lol. They said expect a marshy so I figured full time pants, but a lighter jacket...

    thoughts on Newfoundland moose hunting rainwear {September}

    I'm thinking of buying a more heavy duty rain pant, First Lite Omen, but packable jacket like their Vapor Stormlight jacket. Any thoughts from experienced hunters?

    Thoughts on mixed rain gear for NL moose hunt

    At first I was set to order the First Lite Omen jacket and pants, but what about just the Omen pants, but the Vapor coat? Walking in marshy areas I can see needing full time rain pants, but may a more packable jacket over layered clothing. Any insight is appreciated.
