Hunting On Anticosti Island.
Has anyone here hunted on Anticosti Island in Canada for deer? Any comments would be appreciated.

Never hunted on it myself but from the videos
and tv shows that I have seen about it, you
would have to be a blind man not to get your
two deer! [Wink]

I've never done it, but seem to remember that the Canadian government runs the show. From what they say, it's a nice easy hunt with good cooking in the lodges, but sort of regulated and not a freelancer's hunt.

No meat? Who eats it, then?

Ahh come on guys... I'm sure you can force yourselves to eat all of the meat in a week, before taking the plane back! [Big Grin]

As for the hunting on Anticosti, yes there are deers behind every tree... literally, but still the challenge is to get a trophy, which isn't trivial!
