RE: New Brunswick Deer hunt
Pretty good i would have thought. I go down most summers, and have seen lots of big racked deer in either park areas, or on our property. It's an up north kind of place, so one expects large deer, lots of moose too.
Downside is one needs a guide to hunt deer here. If your buddy is a resident, he can get a simplified guides license for friends and family, which he may well have. I don't hunt the province myself because of the guide requirement.
