Hey anyone booked for a Newfoundland moose hunt this year shoot me a PM. Think there were a couple guys on here last year that said they had hunts booked.
We are looking into a hunt there. Awaiting emails from few outfitters. They will no doubt have a bunch of cancelled hunts if border doesnt open.
They will have cancelled Canadian hunts if they don't open the atlantic bubble as well . . . Our outfitter tells us that the government plans to open the bubble if it isn't already specifically for Canadian hunters without the requirement for a 14 day quarantine. Time will tell.Quote:

We have booked with an outfitter. Pretty reasonable price . Hoping now they lift this atlantic bubble. Outfitter says sept 1st should be ok for us to go from ontario.
Hey toddy. Wat outfitter you using if ok to ask?

I see that on the website. Our group submitted the travel exemption forms and got denied entry by the government.
Our outfitter told us about a month ago everything would be find for the hunt according to his sources. Now his tune is changed and he is as worried as we are. We discussed our options which are to cancel outright and somehow fight for our deposit or re-book in 2021. We booked two years out originally to get a premium rut spot, of course now there are concerns about his 2021 availability. The outfitter doesn't seem keen on giving the deposit back, and we nicely explained we aren't cancelling, your government is . . . then we will probably have the fight with air Canada as well if we have to cancel. . . . what a mess. Who knows how this is going to play out.
The outfitters are making a big stink about the fact they already purchased the tags . . . again, not my problem. The government is not allowing us into the province.
Sucks for sure-yet the outfitter has tons of other expenses,not just the tag.Quote:

If many will not work with the hunters-many will deserve to go under in years to come due of lack of proper approach towards clients.
At the end-THEIR government does not allow others to go in ,anyway.It is not You changing mind.
Good luck.
Can’t see them opening it up without at least the 14 day sit and do nothing in the next 2 weeks. This will bump hunts for the next few years.
I feel for the guys that have had hunts booked for a few years and may not get a deposit back and have to deal with all the rebooking of stuff. I’d heard some outfitters were even taking deposits from guys from the states into June.
I guess on the upside if the hunt doesn’t happen then more for a trip out west to chase elk if that every happens. Is it crazy that we can’t go to NL right now but we can go hunt elk in Montana.....
It is crazy to think we can hunt in Montana but not on NL but that is the reason the USA is covered with Covid-19. I truly feel for all that have been affected by this, outfitters included. I am not sure what the answer is or the outcome but sure hope we can all survive financially, emotionally and most of all healthy.
Now that I find surprising given the post last year about that outfitter which was not complimentary at all.Quote:

I see now that you had already booked this trip and put down a deposit last year before that post. Good luck with them.
We have a differant deal going. We booked late with no deposit because the outfitter knew usa hunters would not get in so they trying to fill spots from canada. Great for us but now looks pretty slim. Still hoping though. We didnt even try to submit the paperwork.who s gonna take 3 weeks off for a moose hunt ...time you isolate for 14 days. Also we had elk mulie hunt planned with friends in colorado but we cant get in there. But with the covid running rampid dont want to go there this year. Cant get a tag at camp...cant go to newfie.....brutal year. Buddy says come hunt alberta but long way to go for 1 deer......
Ya we had booked before that thread. The OP on that thread didn't really concern me as some of his complaints could have been dealt with immediately. It seemed odd. Guess time will tell, i will be sure to post an update regardless if/when this ever happens lol.Quote:

Everything looks like it'll be a wash-out for this year as far as outfitted hunts and most private camps go. Day hunts or even a single over-nighter in the bush might be the only way to go. It would be a damn sight safer,health wise.
Its official. everything is cancelled for me. Rescheduled for next fall . . . I hope lol.
We are out too. Re booked with outfitter in verlilion bay. Looks promising....
