[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1543544, member: 77249"] I am with Varmit Hunter. I have hunted Newfoundland twice. The ferry is the big thing in the travel to Newfoundland by vehicle. You want to figure 16 to 24 hours in your trip for the ferry. It takes 2 hours or more just to load the ferry. 7.5 to 8 hours to cross and 2 hours or so to unload. You want to be sure to be at North Sidney in time to line up for getting on board. If you miss your reservation trip it cost about 75 dollars to reschedule the trip, Plus time loss getting to outfitter on time. I suggest you take the 11 pm ferry and get a state room. That way you get on the ferry go to your room sleep on the ride over, And be ready to travel to your hunting area the next day. Coming back same way get a room and sleep. When the ferry docks in North Sidney, You are ready to start your return home. The people that fly over can get meat, capes and horns back but it rather expensive. Some of the outfitters have contacts with trucking companies with freezer trailers who will bring meat back. But you may have to drive a ways to meet them at a truck stop or terminal and pick up your meat, Cape and horns, Not cheap either. Check with your outfitter if you want to fly on the hunt. On my 2nd trip in 2017 we was hunting out of pickup trucks and a hurricane hit Newfoundland and the roads washed out till we could not travel to some of the places our guide wanted to hunt. They don't seem to do much boat travel hunts in Newfoundland. Some of the fly in hunts you hunt on foot, or Other places you hunt out of Ar-Go's or pickup trucks. Ar-Go's are not very comfortable to hunt out of. They want to drive hard and fast. Our first hunt was with Ar-go's and we had to stay on our guide to keep from beating us and our guns up. Good Luck and Happy Hunting if you go. [/QUOTE]
