Newfoundland moose pack list

[CluelessinRI]

I’m heading up to Newfoundland in October for a moose hunt with Crabbes River outfitters. Looking to see if anyone can give me some examples of their pack list. What you needed in camp and what you carried with you. Any help is much appreciated

That's some list ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. LOL I took rain gear, binos and a cell phone. I used all three afield.

It depends whether you're flying or driving to NL, and also if you're doing a fly-in camp or drive in camp. The fly in camp will limit a lot of your weight-- don't over pack your camp/ lodge clothing. It also depends how you intend to bring meat/ trophy home. If driving, I'd plan a minimum of 300 QT for meat (small/medium bulls). 450 is better if you have the space. Plan a minimum of 10% outfitter fees (USD cash) to tip your guide and $200-$300 to tip your cook at your discretion.

All these lists are great. I had a drive + fly in experience. If I did it again (which I plan to), id bring more beer and extra spare socks and a spare pair of boots or a good repair kit (aka duct tape). Hiking poles can be useful too.

About half of what you would think you’d need. I kept to the 50lb limit and in 6 days only used 1/3-1/2 of my stuff.

-Binos
-Shooting sticks if no one left some in camp for you use (we flew in so several folks had left them but I had mine)
-rain gear (guides all used old school pvc type stufff)
-rubber/neoprene boots
-a few snacks when you need a change
-flavor drops for water if you’re particular but I drank the lake water and it was great but water only for that long gets a bit old
-download some movies on your phone and ear phones
-pillow case to stuff clothes in to make a pillow
-baby wipes and gold bond
-the remaining obvious things (knife, ammo, medicine, towel to dry off with, soap)

I don't remember it being too cold. Just wet and boggy. Not cold...

Needs to be 70lb or less. Let me know if I missed anything, or went overboard. This is a mid Sept hunt in NL. I'm guessing 40-70deg (4-21C)

I’d bring a charging block for your phone (like the one you can plug in to a wall). We had a generator that would run for just a few hours a day and you could top off your phone or battery backup.

Also, I’m a big fan of baby wipes. They’re nice in “certain situations” or if you skip a shower but want to wipe your face off or anything like that.

A book of you like to read or AirPods and some movies downloaded on your phone. I shot a bull early a few years ago and spent lots of time in and around camp. I was glad to have something to keep me busy.

Good luck.

Google points, baby wipes, reading material. I'm feeling like I've just about got it, thank you.

My experience is that between the bog and the tuckamore shooting from kneeling or standing height is often more practical than shooting from the ground.. I would go with (at a minimum) shooting sticks or better yet a shooting tripod.

Definitely bring a fitted sheet to cover what ever mattress they have at camp.

Ear plugs in case you need to shoot to check/adjust zero and if you end up with a snorer in camp.

I have a drive up/fly in this year. I will be flying in from DL on 10/5
