Thanks everyone.  This has been one heck of a ride and I am still smileing.

Jim, My stay in Cow Head was one of those last minute changes to my itinerary that turned into another memorable event.  Wonderful, wonderful people - they almost made me an honorary citizen before I left  :)

Tyler, my only regret is that you and I didn't have a chance to share a cold one and some fresh moose steaks when I came back through Maine on Monday.  You are a big part of my story and I thank you.

Way to go Pete.  I will be looking forward to hearing the story in person.  Hope you can make it to Comptons this year.  We missed you around the fire. Hope the Newfies "Screeched you in"!

Hahaha, Glen, I did get Screeched in but by my own doing - in fact I brought some home to continue the adventure.   :bigsmyl:  I don't see any reason that I won't be at Compton's next year.  Looking forward to it.

Great story. Newfoundlanders are some of the finest people anywhere. Great place to hunt as long as the fog doesn't roll in.
You drove about 5 minutes away from my place, outside of New Glasgow, NS. You stayed in some fine spots, for sure.

Yes Tom I agree, a wonderful and fun loving people, I can't wait to go back.  I thought of you as I went through NS.  I did stop at the Hopewell Rocks and wondered if that was your hometown.  I did stop in New Glasgow, but for gas only.  Maybe some other time.  

Thank you Far Rider.  The passion I feel and have felt from the people I hunt with is what this is all about.
