Default Anticosti Island

Has anyone here ever hunted there before? I would like to hear what other peoples experiences were.

I went for the first time this year and shot a 4 point (2x2) and a doe. I didn't see nearly as many deer as I had expected but it was still a fun hunt and I plan to go again.

Anticosti has always intrigued me.A trip like that for me anyway would'nt be about the size of the antlers or how many points it sports.A place like that offers hundreds of square miles all to your self,and you can even stalk along the beach there.There are'nt to many places in the world where you can do that.Yeah thats a place I would love to visit.Superj congats on your success.I'll bet it was a hoot.

You can do the same thing on the beaches in Alaska's Prince William sound for sitka blacktails. WCL

I should add that in our group of 12 hunters we shot 20 deer in 5 days. Our hunting area for just 12 hunters was a bit over 130 square miles. The only gunshots I heard were the 2 I took. I'll add pictures on here if I can ever figure out how to do in on here.
