I hunted with Ironbound Outfitters in October, it was a fly in hunt. I was told before the hunt that if I was to hold out, there shouldn’t be a problem getting a 40” bull. I killed one that was 34” on the 6th day of a 7 day hunt, and it was by far the biggest one we saw on the hunt. My guide told me that it’s best to go to a camp either early in the season before all the big bulls are killed, or when they are just opening a camp (for the same reason obviously). I’m not disappointed by any means with my hunt, but the trophy expectations were a little high for me, at the time I went, I suppose.
I’ll go back to NL to hunt moose again, but I might go somewhere cheaper for a meat hunt (best meat I’ve ever had so far!). I think if I want a larger rack, I’ll travel somewhere West of Newfoundland.
