I drove up from NY several times, hauling my 5'x8' trailer. It really was no problem at all. There is nothing quite like a Newfoundland moose hunt. I always had a great time and took some nice bulls. I also took a good bear on one of the trips and did some sightseeing along the Viking Trail after I was done hunting.
After applying for a non-res Maine tag for 20yrs, I finally hit. Outfitter said I'd be hunting in heavy timber, so I left the 338RUM home and took my Marlin 45-70. I always wanted to hunt moose with the 45-70 and this was my chance. I worked up a load with the then new 402gr Hammer bullet and was ready to go. I took a nice bull on the second day and my hunting was over for the week. Kind of disappointed to end my hunt so quickly.
Honestly, the Maine hunt was MUCH harder. We literally walked uphill & downhill from before sunup until sundown. I had a backpack and a rifle. My guide had a small knife on his belt. That guy didn't slow down for nothing. LOL In contrast, on the Newfoundland trips, we did 90% of the travel in an Argo.
