Ironbound Outfitters

[JA03]

Im starting to research a 2020 Newfoundland moose trip. From what Ive gathered a fly in outfitter is essential to getting shot opportunities. I browsed several web sites and came across Ironbound. Their outfit intrigues me as they do not use argos or motorized vehicles. They appear to revel in a hard physical hunt which appeals to me. I looked through the forum and was unable to locate any other info on them other than what was on the website. I figured Id ask and see if anyone had hunted with them.

I've never purchased a guided hunt and am more of a do it your self type however this seems like the most economical way to do a moose hunt. A buddy and I plan on driving up from PA therefore splitting travel costs. Any info would be appreciated.

There are many good outfitters in Newfoundland. There is a thread on 24hr campfire on folks talking about a Newfoundland moose hunt. The 2 I'd suggest are drive in hunts and there are many folks who do that as well. Good luck.

I was supposed to be hunting with them this past fall, but for Caribou. Life happened and I had to postpone my trip until the next available opening they had, which is 2020 (for caribou). Two of my friends went on the hunt and had a great time, both took respectable P&Y bulls. Another friend hunted moose with them a year ago and took an exceptional bull with his bow. They are one of the best outfitters in NFL and their area isn't hunted by locals, which is a huge plus. Contact them for their success rates in 2017 on moose, they took some big ones.

Thank you for the information gentlemen. I will send out a few emails to outfitters. Feel free to PM me if you have any info that you dont feel like posting on the forum.

I have hunted in Newfoundland (4) times , killed 2 Bull Moose and a Caribou, passed on several small moose the last trip and went home empty handed, but had (5) different opportunities ( just was looking for a bigger animal. I hunt with Caribou Pond , it is a drive in camp or a boat in camp if you hunt out of drop camp, Mike and Boyce are awesome, I am going back this fall. Good luck, on your future hunt.

Up till this past year they received really good reviews. This year there were few mixed reviews. I know two guys that hunted with them in the past 5 year and both spoke highly of them. I was on the fence anf thinking about booking with them in 2016 and chose MVO instead. I took my dad on his first moose hunt and we killed two nice bulls, a day one bow kill for me and day three rifle kill for him. We had a great time and rebooked for 2019, I also secured a caribou tag.

If you go to bowsite a search you will see lots of recommendations for Newfoundland Outfitters, several guys on there have hunted with ironbound.

Awesome, thank you for the recommendations. Feel free to post pictures of your moose.

i also forgot to mention that once they get you out there with the chopper the only way to get around is on your feet! no wheeled vehicles in the field. They limit themselves to less than 20 hunters a year. i will post pics in a lil bit.

Not sure what they are quoting right now, I booked early and since I am a repeat I have been paying the same price for a while and I would have to look and see what that is. LOL around $4,500.00 I think. I book all of my hunts through Gary Young's Outdoor Adventures ( outfitters pay him so no cost to you), Gary is a good guy and has never sent me on a bad hunt, he personally hunts with all the outfitters he represents so you get an honest evaluation. Feel free to give him a call, he loves to talk hunting and he can get you that information: 724-388-0678
