Made my 18th trip to Newfoundland this week. I got two moose tags, an either sex, and a bull only. Shot a 14 point bull yesterday, first day of the hunt. Ended up filling the second tag too, on an 8 point. It was a load for the Argo, ended up with three tires coming off the rims, and broke a traction chain on the way out. Didn’t make it back to camp until after midnight.
First bull 14 pt


Second bull



Loaded up….



We’re stuck now…

No pics?

I posted pics in the thread.

It says image under review.

Dam! Right on BigB!

With his (BigBrownie) help I went there as a nonhunter and my two friends both got their moose. Our guide is now 100% successful for three years. Hunting just like a run and gun turkey hunt. Calling some then moving on. By the way our guide uses the razor sharp disposable knives for the whole skinning/butchering/deboning process. He uses either the havalon piranta or titan knife, I forgot which.......jk

I can't wait for the pictures to work.

Can’t say I’ve ever known anyone to count the points on a moose. What’s the spread?

Congrats

Neither have I, other than brow tines, I've often heard people say they got a moose with triple brow tines or whatever, but never total points. I was wondering if he was counting eastern or western count. At first I seen 14 point moose and was thinking 14 on a side (western count) and then I thought, "I wonder if he is counting both sides?"

I think that is a Newfoundland thing. I shot a small bull and they called it a 7 pointer. Meat was just as good as a 65" bull.

Had two friends tag out for moose in Newfoundland in early October. I hear good success rates from a few hunters that head North each fall.

I was thinking it was a Russian thing. I remember watching a video of a hunt (I thought it was Russia…Kamchatka...?). and they counted the points after the kill….

I’ve only heard brow tines mentioned if it’s under 50” because they’re making sure to tell you it’s a legal bull lol

Try posting some pics again…

I give up on the pics. Dead moose must be offensive to Postimages?

Do you have this icon on your screen? It’s super easy!


The only time I use a postimage to post pics is if they’re too big.
Pictures would solve this point counting thing…….lol
Congrats on the moose!
