Fourth consecutive year for
these hunters.
John Gonyer and
Fred Sullivan from Vermont and New Hampshire as hunted woodland
caribou with Ironbound Outfitters each year since 2000. They
always bring along at least one friend and sometimes two. Neither
one of them has ever returned home without a decent stag. John,
who is the oldest of the group, always seems to harvest the biggest
bull at Ironbound camp each year. This year his trophy had huge
double shovels. Is there any way to catch this guy, Fred?
Four
hunters from New Hampshire on their first caribou hunt.
Todd Gavron and three
of his friends from New Hampshire didn't know what to expect on
their first woodland caribou hunting trip to Newfoundland. In
2004
the party drove to Newfoundland, Canada and hunted with Ironbound
Outfitters. Although the weather was not much to be desired, the
four managed to harvest four decent stags in just 1.5 days of
hunting. It was the first big game animal ever killed by two of
the hunters and "boy" they made hunting look easy.
Newfoundland
Woodland Caribou scores #7 in the SCI record books.
Bob
Johnson of Jamestown, New York will soon find himself in Safari
International record books. His woodland caribou taken at Ironbound
Outfitters in Newfoundland, Canada in August of 2003 scored #7
in the world taken with a bow. The official scorer indicated that
there was a 2 percent deduction for velvet (the hunter wanted
to keep the antlers in original form). Also six months of drying
time surely cost points. If those factors at not played into the
official score, this woodland caribou could have easily placed
#3 or 4 in SCI. (click

Two
Hunters Two Days Two Caribou and One Moose.
Steve Knudsen and
Mark Lewis from Colorado didn't have much luck with Newfoundland
weather. Monday was their first day of hunting and it was a nice
day. Mark decided to go moose hunting. By 10:30 AM he had shot
a nice 10 point bull about a mile from the hunting lodge. Tuesday
morning the fog rolled in and didn't lift until Thursday. On Thursday
Steve and Mike both got two beautiful woodland caribou. Although
it was a long week in camp, they both enjoyed their hunting trip
especially after they got their trophies.
