Mike, We are going with Portland Creek Outfitters up in the Long Range Mountains NE of Gros Morne Park.  I was up there last year and can't wait to go back.

Good luck to you guys! This thread has got me kicking myself in the rear for not snagging one of the spots when I had the chance!

I sure hope y'all whack some good ones!

Thanks guys! Sorry you couldn't make this trip with us Bisch. Your state will be well represented by Tim King, a member of our hunting party.

Just picked up an Epic action cam recorder with a remote button for on and off recording. I'm going to mount it on my cap. we'll see how that works out!

Wish it was an easy answer, and will be glad to expound in a PM if you want... None of the 4 of us trad hunters killed, we did have an unexpected  wheel shooter added to our party that did though. Beautiful country and first class accommodations, but I would say that for the most part our guides were not in tune with trad hunters and their requirements? Good moose population, but, just not able to get them in range...maybe a little early?
That being said, I had 2 different opportunities and didn't seal the deal, but I was the only exception. Odds are if one of the other three had had the opportunity, there would a pic of a  P& Y bull in this post!
I really appreciate Yall asking, it's been kind of a sore subject, but hey, this is therapeutic!!!

I hunted  NFL back in 2001 and again in 2004. The guides were not overly enthusiastic about trad weapons then either.

 Tough to find a moose guide that is trad  aware.

The rock is a magical place to hunt and I hope you have good memories of camp and scenery .
