This NF moose deal has been near the top of my bucket list for a few years now. I'm just not sure I'd take the vax just to go hunt Canada. My problem, but it is what it is.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Thanks for posting in such great detail. Reading this report certainly nullifies the day to day we have to occupy our time today. Congratulations on a good hunt, despite the apparent incompetence of the outfitter.

Thanks for the report and the pic’s Pugs. I just don’t understand folks who can’t keep their word in regard to the services they say they will provide. But most irritating are our petty border agents who are either angry about being there, or have an exaggerated sense of their self-importance.

Good write up. Never hunted with a guide- probably never will - but putting the word out good or bad, is a service to all.
Getting your quarry under adverse conditions is a plus....
I've not dealt with any other than border crossing folks Canadian, in transit. I have a higher opinion of them than ours.

Nice writeup. I have read too much bad about them, to ever hunt with them. I went with Portland Creek in 2010 and it was a blast. Everything went perfectly and I could not have been happier. We drove (three days each way), as I was not going to mess with trying to fly my meat home. Canadian Customs back then, was great, both going and coming home. We went out through Maine and they never even looked at our rifles.
All four in camp got bulls, but mine was by far the best. It was a great hunt and I brought home 300 pounds of boned-out, vac sealed meat.

A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.

Sandy's .338-06 is the Weatherby Mark V, stainless synthetic ultra lightweight. He's been really pleased with it and it's kind of his all purpose rifle.
