Are the Cape Breton (Nova Scotia) moose hunts for residents only?
I didn't see any way for non-residents to apply.

Residents only
You are correct: residents only.

Thanks
Thanks for the information.
It's too bad. I'd love to hunt the area and the odds of drawing a tag are on par with other eastern areas. If anyone has any pull with Nova Scotia please let them know that I want to send them money for a moose permit application as soon as they authorize non-residents to hunt!

Nfld?
I assume you've looked into Newfoundland? Tons of moose there and they do allow non-res hunting (with a guide).

Yes indeed
Yes indeed, I did look into hunting Newfie moose, but decided that teh guide fee priced those hunts out of my budget. Instead I'm focusing on applying to a variety of venues that offer unguided moose hunting options. I may just have to decide to go to Alaska again....
Not that THAT is a BAD option! lol but it would mean a cross continental drive to get a moose home to New York State.....

Hmmmm....????
Would it be counter-productive to point out that the time, tag and travel costs of that would probably leave you spending the same as a Newfie hunt? But then again...you'd be in Alaska which, as Mastercard knows is "priceless"
Check out New Brunswick, limited tags but closer.

exactly right
Nope not counter productive - you'd be exactly right - which is why I have only tried that option once so far to date. I am applying to Maine and New Hampshire in the States this year and will apply for Vermont again as soon as I become eligible again (I have to wait 3 years after drawing my Vermont moose tag in 2009). I am starting to check out moose hunting in Quebec and I'll add New Brunswick to the list. I havn't ruled out a Newfie hunt entirely if I can find one that is on the low end of the guided price scale but I am a little afraid of taking a low budget guided hunt.....
Your advice is very much appreciated!
Mike
