Pygmy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 WELL, friends and neighbors, tomorrow is the day. My good hunting buddy Fungus Face and I are going to head his pickup northeast for our Newfoundland moose hunt. Being the old farts we are, we don't want to drive half the night, so we will overnight tomorrow near Bangor, Maine. Fungus has a favorite motel there, and knowing him, I suspect it's within walking distance of a strip joint. Friday we'll negotiate customs and drive up to New Brunswick, where we'll rendezvous with some Canadian friends. Then we'll convoy out to the eastern tip of Nova Scotia, where we'll board a ferry for an overnight crossing to Newfoundland. We arrive Saturday morning on The Rock, as the Newfies call it and then drive 5 hours north to Portland Creek, where we meet our outfitter. We overnight there, and then Sunday morning, Good Lord Willing and weather permitting, we will helicopter in to our hunting camp. The hunt is a week long, Sunday to Sunday. If I don't get lost in the muskeg or ET by a bear, I'll be home around Sept. 20th, and will post a full report on this forum. Of course I'm HUGELY excited about this trip. It will be my first trip to Newfoundland and my first ride in a helicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzzyLoader Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Best of Luck D... Make sure you stop in Portsmouth, NH for a lobster dinner (@ Yokens). Oh and strap in tight... helicopter pilots like to have fun with 1st-timers. I about lost my cookies my first time - the guy stood the dang thing on its nose. Bring home some meat!!!

Pygmy Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks, all.. Thanks to Jerry for the lobster tip.. I LOVE crustaceans and any thing else that swims or crawls on the bottom of the ocean. Lawdwaz...We'll definitely have to do dinner at Fran's..The quality of the food has remained excellent with the change of management. Ya don't go away HUNGRY either ! I intend to take lots of digital pictures...I might need a little help posting them, however. Wnybuckhunter has been a great help to me in the past, and I appreciate it. Damn... Amazing how excited a guy in his 60s can get...It's great... When this rush goes away I'll know it's time to stop hunting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Well, it's Sunday, the last day of Pygmy's hunt. Hopefully it was safe & successful. I was going to say something witty about how'd I'd love to try some moose meat someday but that wouldn't be very classy and I surely don't want to put Dan on the spot with an Internet buddy and all so I won't. Hey Pygmy, If you run out of freezer space, I sure like to offer up some square footage in mine.............................<grin> Edited September 18, 2011 by Lawdwaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I can't wait to hear how it went! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm back, friends and neighbors. I did NOT kill a moose, although my party took 5 moose for 7 hunters.. I'm very busy right now and can't take the time for a full report, but I promise one within the next few days. The hunt was a real adventure..
