Since this would probably be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me, I would like to return with a trophy. For me.. this could be a bull moose with a 40" spread. I am not too particular about a province, but I live in Minnesota so something with a shorter drive would be preferable (Manitoba, Ontario, or Saskatchewan compared to BC/Alberta).
Reading I have done suggests I might enjoy the greatest success in Newfoundland/Labrador, but flights from here to there are about $2k, plus outfitter fees of $5k+. This means shipping antlers back and would unlikely be able to take back meat. I would ideally enjoy both a set of antlers and some meat.
A lot of outfitters for northern Ontario have reasonable rates for unguided fly-ins/drive-ins, and includes 1 bull and 1 cow tag. I have seen some of the folks on here discussing how moose population in Ontario is not doing very well, but these outfitters suggest they have good success rates. Any opinions?
Here's an example:
