billrquimby Report post Posted February 25, 2007 A Canadian friend has invited me to hunt moose and woodland caribou with him in Newfoundland in September. I'm going, of course. He claims moose come two per square mile on that island! Has anyone on this forum hunted there? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 25, 2007 Bill, I too can't offer any experience there, but I can't wait to hear how it goes for you! I have a huge desire to get a Caribou after my experience in Alaska last year. I have to get one o' them Barren Ground 'Bou's first then I will go after a Woodland. Best of luck, JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best of luck, JIM> With luck, the woodland race will be my third caribou subspecies. I took a barren ground caribou and a very good moose in the Yukon and two Central Canada barren ground caribou in the Northwest Territories many years ago. What I really want is an eastern moose. Nothing eats better than moose meat IMHO, and I plan to bring some home if I'm fortunate enough to shoot one. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirkkelso Report post Posted February 26, 2007 Bill, I hunted there in 2004. You'll see plenty of game, however it was a bit of a let down for me as the quality is nothing like we are accustomed to. Not that the trophies aren't good, it's just that both the moose and the Woodland Caribou are small in horn size compared to what we are are used to seeing in other areas of Canada. It's a different hunt than Western Canada as you will be in much thicker country, but all in all, if you haven't taken those species, you should go give it a try. By the way, where can I get your new SCI book? I'd like to get one and send it to you to sign as a former fellow employee! Kirk Kelso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Kelso Steve Comus's department sells them for $100 each. Call Lauri at SCI Publications and tell her I'm going to SCI headquarters Wednesday or Thursday, and will autograph a copy for you when I'm there. Congratulations again on your PH of the Year award, Kirk. Well deserved! Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
