Moose Hunting in Quebec October, 2021 - looking for 2 more hunters

[serge_s]

The two of us from Toronto area, Ontario are going for a moose hunt with an outfitter (https://domaineshannon.com/) in Near-North Quebec for a week in October (10/09/2021 to 10/17/2021), and looking for two more hunters with big game experience to complete our party.

Quebec has a way bigger and healthier population of moose comparing to Ontario. For non-residents of Quebec, the only way to hunt big game there is through services of an outfitter, which we have already arranged. Domaine Shannon is well-known, and we had a very positive experience with them in the past, getting a moose there in 2019. The 2020' season was affected with Covid, and also - one could hunt only antlered moose last year in Quebec. This year, a party of 4 is eligible to getting 2 moose, one of them must be a bull. Chances of achieving it are pretty high, based on the 2019' results, and this is going to be the 1st week of the moose season. We do not have to stay there the whole week, but we absolutely need 4 people to get 2 moose (1 moose requires 2 tags), and good team spirit is important. The outfitter provides a big refrigerator to keep the game meat as well as a cleaning facility.

We are going to share the accommodation (and the costs of it) in a fully-equipped 4-bed cabin. We will need to bring our own food and drinks. Buying things locally is possible only after a long drive on a logging road, as the camp is located off-the-grid and 50 miles away from the nearest town. An option is to buy an "American plan" with meals and bar included, which you can consider if you wish (but it is more expensive). Fishing is also possible, and you will need to buy a non-resident Quebec fishing license to do that. You can rent a boat from the outfitter or bring your own. The outfitter sells the licenses. We do quartering and skinning ourselves and give the bagged meat for processing to a butcher in Ontario (there are some we know). The meat will be divided equally between all the members of the party. Trophies (heads) will go to the successful shooters, after being presented when registering the kills with the MNR of Quebec on the way back.

We will meet to discuss the details and to secure the deposits sometime in August or early September.

More details on this trip with some photos of the 2019' moose hunt at the same place are in https://www.meetup.com/hunting-fishi...nts/279884181/ . Otherwise, please message me here.

Cheers,

Might help the fence-sitters if they knew how moose were hunted there e.g. clear cuts, water’s edge, natural openings. Also what is the success rate at the lodge? Where is this place anyway?

I have driven through that area many times in years past and have commented on the region in previous posts.
People should be made aware that there is currently native unrest in regards to the moose density in La Verendrye park and a hunting moratorium was/is in effect. I am not sure at this time if any agreement was reached.

My intention is not to undermine the OP's recruitment offer but since it was his first post on this board then people should enquire a little bit further than usual.

Thanks for this information and inquiries. Domaine Shannon is located outside of La Verendrye - https://domaineshannon.com/images/carte.gif
The hunt is happening on its private territories, moose tags are sold by the outfitter.
