 Sounds great. Where is Anticosti Island located in Canada? New Brunswick?
British Columbia? Canada's a big place. :-)

    Anticosti is an island in the gulf of St. Lawrence about the size of
    Conn. It is part of the province of Quebec. They also have about a 90%
    success rate because of the size of the deer herd. If someone hasn't
    shot very many deer this is the ideal place for them.

    Hunters are virtually assured of shooting 2 bucks.  A friend of my
    dad's hunted there and said they saw on the average between 30 and 40
    deer a day.
    
    I'll take Maine, thanks.  :^)

    I also know somone who went this past season and only two decent bucks
    were taken. They did see deer but not as much as everyone said they
    would, and still paid $1500+.
