Hunted Newfoundland 5 or 6 years ago and enjoyed most everything about it, including the drive and ferry ride, up and back. As I live in the northeast, the logistics make Newfoundland quite manageable.
There are some nice moose there, but a fly in is likely required. I saw 4 bulls during the first week of the season, including 1 big one at something over a 1,000 yards.
For the price of an AK moose hunt, I can go to Newfoundland 3 times. I have several fishing trip to Alaska under my belt, and have seen several AK moose, some up pretty close. Yup, they can be a prehistoric kind of big, particularly to an easterner.
I am mostly into the hunt for the experience. A freezer full of steaks is a nice bonus. Not all that interested in something to hang on the wall.
Based on a little experience with these little moose, they seem to be tenderloin from their nose down to their toes.
Hoping to collect one this fall.
