Father/Son Newfoundland Moose Hunt

[wilcogeoff]

My dad recently turned the calendar page on his 60th birthday. His bucket list hunt is a moose hunt, so I told him I would plan it and save up some money to go with him. I've settled on NF because it appears that while bulls aren't huge on the island, there are more shot opportunities. Anybody have any great experiences with outfitters in Newfoundland? Bad experiences? I probably have $9k I could spend, all in. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have no personal experience, but two of my friends are heading up there this September for the 2nd week. I'll let you know what they thought.

Thanks ChrisS! Do you know which outfitter they are using?

I am heading up there this September with my Dad and Father in-law. We are going with Effords Outfitters. It is our first time hunting Moose and also first time in Newfoundland. Good Luck. Conne River also looks like a good outfitter but they were booked up when I called them.

Awaldro7 somebody else mentioned Bob Efford and said they had a fantastic hunt. It sounds like you are in for a good time. Good luck and thank you for the reply!

What weapon do you plan on using? Are you looking for any size Moose, any bull, trophy bull only? I have been to the Rock 3 times Caribou hunting. I have a moose/bear hunt booked for the last week of Sept 2018 with my daughter. We can't wait.

Went to Newfoundland last Oct with my dad. We killed a pair of nice bulls, him with the rifle and me with my bow. We used MVO outfitters they were excellent from start to finish. We rebooked for 2019 which was his first available opening.

I myself am heading up there to go after moose in 3 weeks!! I am going with My dad also and he is 62, we are going through Next Ridge outfitting, from what we were told as I was looking into it make sure you find a guide that flys in by either a Helicopter or floatplane. Effords along with Next Ridge came up time and time again when I was talking with others who had gone.

I am interested in this thread.
I went on my first DIY moose hunt in Quebec last Sept. No luck, but a good hunt.
Moose is defiantly my most sawed after animal to chase.
NF would be a relatively easy trip for us East coasters!
Anyone have good luck with bows? I am trad.

I returned from a Hunt in Newfoundland . I went with My Dad and a friend of the family, my Dad and Friend of ours were tagged out around noon on the First day of the hunt and I got mine on Tuesday. We logged quite a bit of miles those two days. We all got some good bulls 40-47 inch bulls is what we harvested and a whole lotta meat getting shipped back, Moose we had out there was the best tasting Game meat I have had Excited to get the meat back.

Dries,

Was this a DIY, outfitted, or guided? Any specifics you'd be willing to share?

All New Foundland hunts are guided. Not legal to hunt as a Non Resident with out a licensed guide. I have hunted in New Foundland 4 times love it, planning on going back in 2018.

Congratulations on the nice bull! Me, My father, and father in-law just returned from a Newfoundland moose hunt last week. We hunted 5 days and I never saw a single moose! We were all three unsuccessful for moose. My dad did shoot a Boone and Crocket Black Bear though!

So we ended up booking with Bob Efford in late September of 2018. We are both going to rifle hunt. I will post pics when we return. It's definitely not a trophy trip. I love big animals but especially on trips like this, I would rather come home with a kill than hold out for the possibility of a monster.

It was a fully guided hunt. Talking with a lot of people if you want a good experience look at an outfit that uses either a Helicopter or float plane to get away from local pressure.
I decided on Next Ridge because of a lot of local people in West Michigan have gone there and had success. I have heard great things about Arluk outfitter, Ironbound and Effords.

May I as what outfitter you hunted with? I have been 4 times and have never been and not seen multiple moose, just want to make sure I don't make a poor choice of who I hunt with, because I am thinking about trying a different outfitter in a different area ( more northern). thanks
