500 Hunting Permits for Gros Morne and Terra Nova.

For a  few years now a moose cull in Gros Morne was talked about. The last survey n 2008 put the Moose population around 5,000 animals. In 2011 a hunt will be allowed there. My friend has tried for a permit there and yesterday we drove through the area. There may be plenty of Moose to hunt there but getting access to the area he's trying might be difficult considering no ATV is allowed to transport the Moose out. I doubt if the number of permits will have much effect in curbing the numbers there. The Photos below are are from yesterday.

   

November Hunt
The great thing about waiting until November to hunt in Newfoundland is that most hunters have already completed their hunt and you will not be eaten alive by the Mosquitoes. The Newfoundland moose population is estimated between 120,000 to 150,000 animals. Enough that approximately 30,000 are harvested annually.Here are a few shots of my recent hunt.
