“Last week was certainly one of the best hunting experiences I have had in my 35
years of hunting. The hunt was tough and very challenging but the weather was
perfect. I passed up on some cows and calves because I wanted a bull. I did not
get that 55 inch bull BUT the bull that I did get is certainly a lifelong trophy
in my book and will look great on my wall. As for my guide Mitch Filson, he was
the BEST! He was very educating and very knowledgeable about the moose and the
area (I2). We did some walking to say the least. Mitch, like myself, did not
give up even though we had some tough days. He kept telling me to stay focused
and our time will come, and it did. I cannot say enough good things about Mitch
Filson as a guide and most of all as a fellow hunter and now a friend. I want to
also thank Jason Parent from NHGS for hooking me up with Mitch and for making
last week a hunting experience that I will take with me for the rest of my life.
Thanks again for a trip of a lifetime.” --Charles J. Lamberti, New York
“I got this bull with the assistance of my guide, Dustin
Parent of NH Guide Service in Unit A2. The hunt was exciting, exhausting, hot,
cold, dry, wet, and exhilarating beyond my wildest expectations. In the first
three days, we passed up several cows, a small bull and two big bulls that I
just couldn’t manage to get a bead on. On day four, it was drizzling rain and
that allowed us to slip right up on a pair of bulls and a cow napping next to a
marsh. I really appreciate the opportunity to come from my home state of Indiana
to hunt in the beautiful mountains of northern New Hampshire. The bull was 7½
years old, sported lots of scars and had a 51-inch rack. He weighed just 600
lbs. at the check station. The biologist there said this bull apparently took
his duties in the rut quite seriously. Thank you again to New Hampshire Fish and
Game and the guides at NH Guide Service. It really was the trip (and the moose)
of a lifetime.” --William D. Kersey
“First I would like to thank the NH Fish and Game Dept.
for giving me the opportunity to hunt moose. My moose was shot in WMU C2 at
11:30 on the opening day of season. The first photo is from left to right myself
Mark Stanton of Homestead, Iowa, my guide Chuck of New Hampshire Guide Service
and my brother, Norm Stanton of Hollis Maine. The second photo is of myself and
my moose. My moose was 4 1/2 years old, weighed in at 660 lbs. and had a 50-inch
spread. I shot the moose with a 300 mag and it only went 25 feet before going
down. I can’t say enough of New Hampshire Guide Service and its guides, very
knowledgeable, hardworking and honest. Thanks to the State of NH and to Chuck of
the New Hampshire Guide Service.” -- Mark Stanton
“Dear NH Fish & Game, I wanted to sincerely THANK YOU for
providing a hunt of a lifetime! Through the urging of a co-worker, I applied for
my first NH moose permit in May and was absolutely surprised to be drawn for an
either sex permit in the C1 WMU. As an out of state hunter, my subpermittee
(Mike Razzano) and I realized that our best chance of success was to hire a
guide service. After interviewing many companies we were very fortunate to
choose Jason Parent from NH Guide Services. Jason’s preseason scouting proved to
be extremely beneficial, on opening morning we were able to see a number of
moose prior to Jason calling out a small herd of 3 bulls and 1 cow from the
thick brush. Single shots from my 300 Win. Mag. along with Mike’s 30-06 allowed
us to harvest this 44 inch 720 pound dominate bull at just 40 yards. What topped
it off for us was the fact that Jason was able to video tape the event that has
allowed us to share this once in a lifetime event with our friends and families!
Additionally, I would like to thank Bridget, Dave and Ernie for the hospitality
extended to us and all of the hunting parties at the Mt. Dustan Country Store
and Cabins in Wentworth Location, NH. Thanks again for an experience that we
will carry with us forever. Kind Regards.” --Tim Early, Franklin, MA

"Dear NH Fish & Game – Thanks for providing us with a hunt
of a lifetime and also for doing such a great job in managing the 2007 hunt so
meticulously. The season began very warm and we had to “go in after them” as the
moose were bedding down all day. On the third day we jumped this beautiful A2
650-lb. cow and I was able to drop her in her tracks @ 100 yds. with one 7mm
magnum round. Although the weather was too warm, the hunt was perfect. In
addition, I got to hunt with my favorite hunting partner in the world, my father
(right). This moose was taken on his birthday, which made the hunt even more
memorable. Many thanks to Dustin Parent (rear) and the NH Guide Service out of
the Mt. Dustan Country Store. This family owned and operated business provided
us with the best guide in New England and some new friends that we will know for
life. Great food, hospitality and these guys can hunt !! I guess that’s why
they have 100% success with their clients. Thanks NHF&G, Dustin, Chuck, and most
of all, my father for being there." --Tom Norton, Winchester, MA
"Here is a picture of the 40" bull
I took during the 2005 season. I have hunted a lot of places but I must say this
hunt was a great adventure in a beautiful state. I would like to say thanks to
Jason Parent of New Hampshire Guide Service and everyone at Mt. Dustan Country
Store and Cabins for making this a hunt to remember. Everything was top notch
and I was made to feel like one of the family. First rate all the way. Also
thanks to the state of New Hampshire for the chance to hunt moose."
