Some buddies and I have talked about hunting moose for a couple years now. However, with a wife and 3 kids to support, where does the average working man go to hunt moose?

huh.....I know of some roads and secondary highways here in Mass where you got a good chance of hitting one if you got a good push bumper on your rig! Few years back, I took pics with a disposable camera....had 5 of them, all babes and cows underneath me and my stand. Awesome pics, as they came closer and closer everytime the flash would go, like they were attracted to it! Moose crossing sings all over these parts. Mass would rather have people hit them with vehicles (happens all the time here!) than hunt and harvest any of them . Other than that, I wish I could tell ya....cuz I too would like to know! Hope someone has some good info....I'll be watching! Posts: 570 | From: Massachusetts | Registered: Dec 2009

Maine is cheap once you get the permit. It's road excessable to good moose populations. You can camp, and you don't need a guide.

Went to Quebec in 2009 and going back in 2011. Stay in the outfitters lodge and have access to 35 sq miles of private land. Plenty of moose but it's thick and they have noses like blood hounds. You bring your own food and do your own cooking but have a nice warm camp and shower waiting for you each night. Hunt cost $1500.00 includes license (one moose per 2 hunters). Not a Newfoundland type hunt but I loved it.

I've been checking also. I've found $3,500-4,000 in Newfoundland with highest moose densities on the planet. On the other end of the scale is a Mckenzie River hunt in the Yukon for $18,900. Having yet to spend even $1 on a guide or outfitter to date, I've not pursued my Moose dreams either. I'm sure these hunts are worth the money if you have it.

I've been putting in for Maine for 25 years. Nothing. A guy we shoot 3D with put in a few years ago and got one. Then didn't go. Yeah.......didn't go. I'll second Newfoundland, my friend took a whopper a few years back. I hunted woodland caribou there, one fun hunt for sure, I'd look into it. The Quebec hunt sounds awfully tempting at that price. Only hunted bear there about 20 years ago, so I can't give input.

I went on my first moose hunt last season here in VT about an hour and change from the house here and it was a time.We lucked out and got a freak snow storm so we got to track one.Turned out to be a 616# cow.

You have to be over in the Berkshires...some of the best moose country is just up and across the line in Bennington/Windam counties in VT.

Not a guided hunt but they will send you the right way. There is a group of AMericans that have went here for years with good success, I think from Illinois. Owners are American too. http://www.wildgooselake.com/Posts: 239 | From: Oshawa Ontario Canada | Registered: Feb 2006
