Summary

I made my inaugural trip to hunt moose with Arluk Outfitters back in 2018. Fast forward to 2025 and I found myself back in Newfoundland for round two. Ironically, it was Erin, that about a year ago asked, “when are you going to shoot another moose, it’s my favorite venison you’ve ever brought home.” Honey, say no more, I’m going back! This time, I was glad to have a longtime friend and hunting buddy in Jason Cao make the trip with me. (Jason with the spoils from his bull) On this episode Jason and I sat down with our guides John Whight and Brandon Beaver, as well as our camp cook George Morgan for a roundtable discussion on our experience at Arluk’s Caribou Lake Camp. The camp is so remote that everything comes in and out by helicopter. Highlights from the episode include: * Newfoundland hospitality and culture (reminds me alot of Texas) * When did moose show up on the island (they were introduced as a viable protein source) * What happened to their once great woodland caribou herd? * Bald eagles impact * How did each of our moose hunt’s play out? * A boatful of hunters and moose meat * What bullet/rifle combo we each chose * Newfoundland moose dishes * Wobbly Pops and jarred moose * What are the winters like? * Electronic calls * Nova Scotia waterfowl and whitetails (Brandon’s home province) * Commercial halibut fishing * Salmon on the fly rod * One more moose for George * Cigarettes and soda pop * And much more!
