We booked a hunt with Ironbound Outfitters and had the absolute best hunt one could ask. Despite being delayed flying into camp due to the bad weather. Once we got into camp it was a quick unpack and we were off after moose. Saw over 15 moose the first evening and I passed on a small bull with my bow and a cow inside 15yrds. Great start to the Hunt. Long story short we packed into a spike camp 2 days later and my wife and I were able to harvest 2 awesome moose. We ended up just taking the rifle into spike camp but My wife still shot hers at 38yrds and it came in on a string. Total we saw over 60 moose in 5 days of hunting and passed on 7 different bulls.. An absolutely awesome trip!!! I can't say enough about the staff and area Mark has to hunt moose in

It's mostly scenery, helicopter ride and dead moose :). It all happened so fast on the first evening that I didn't get any other moose on video :).
I went late in the year and next time will go during the rut. I was using rifle and glad I was cause once the rut is over getting close would have been very tough.

I think they are chasing "Woodies"...(that doesn't sound right, does it)

Which camp were you in? Congrats to you and your wife on the moose !!! We hunted Sharon Valley this year with Ironbound. Good outfitter for sure. My group went 3/4, with me being the only one who did not harvest.

Those are fantastic bulls from what I usually see come from Newfie If ask which species they were? I would have never guess it!
You did great!

We were in Jason Lake camp but then we spiked camped into a place called Meat pond and that is where we both killed out bulls. We actually shot them the same day. and actually since the water was rock bottom and clean I didn't mind quartering it in the water, kept my knife and hands clean..lol
