James7xChamp3 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Has anyone hunted here before? I don't think I've ever seen a post about it. I think my first time was in 1994 and have been every year since except the last 2 as I went to Alberta instead. I hunted thru Sepaq Anticosti. I really missed going the last two years. My Dad and I have some memorable hunts along with my brother-in-laws and a few friends. IMO it is hard to find a better hunt for the money. Accomodations are excellent and the deer are abundant and you can take 2 bucks. It is not B & C or P & Y country, but lots of character in the antlers. It's a great place to take a young one and they offer reduced rates of "father and son " trips. Very beautiful country also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island I have not gone personally but the guy who sugars my land goes there every year too and has some monsters on his wall. I mean absolute drool time when you walk into his living room. Makes me sick. LOL One day maybe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island So I wonder what it would cost a group of us to go and get some of those droolers..... I'd be interested for next season...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island How much does it cost total to go? What time of year? I would like to do that. Give me a seasons notice and I will go with you next time, if it is not to pricey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island A forum get together/ hunt, at Anticosti would be an awesome time! I would give it my best shot to make it to that if it happened. Definately need at least a seasons notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest psejake16 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island I believe they have the most whitetais per sq. mile. Nothing big. Your average 3 1/2 year old will be a 8 pt. in the 110-120 class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A forum hunt would be as much, if not more about the comraderie than the hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island my uncle has been there and I've seen it on hunting shows. looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island I guess we'll have to see what we can come up with for next seasons hunt. I think it would be a great idea atleast for us Northeast guys and gals, and it would give us a full year to gather the funds, and Im sure they would have some type of break for groups of some kind...

JimT Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island I just told the wife I want to do this. Will have to skip my annual bear hunt to go, but I am in if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island I will post some pics this week of some bucks we have taken there. Again, it's not the place to go if you are looking for large scoring antlers. But.....if you love to hunt it is a great place. Awesome still hunting and also rattling works well at times......very good at times actually. It can be very exciting when the cards fall your way. When I last went 2 years ago it cost me in the ball park of $1800 when it was all said and done. Includes plane ticket and food. It all depends on what the exchange rate is. In September and October it is around $400.00 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island OUCH !! $1800.00 for a non-trophy area.....Tedicast and I were just talking about this last night and he wasn't too darn far off the price...... LOL....ain't no way my wife is going to give any green light for over a grand........now if this was Sask. or some other Trophy getting hunt I may have seriously considered this trip.....but $1800.00 for a hunt that someone could do just about anywhere,,,,is crazy I atleast hope the food is good and the beds are large and soft.....

James7xChamp3 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island Comforts are excellent and the food is almost as good as the hunting.It was actually 1560.00 with the exchange rate (incuded plane ticket and license) but the 1800.00 is a bargain. You'd probably have a heart attack at the price of a comparable hunt in the states.....lol. Sask. or Alberta? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Anyways, this is the outfit I went with for 8 years and I highly recommend them. www.sepaq.com Prices are Canadien, so you can deduct whatever the exchange rate is.

Hoyt03 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Re: Anticosti Island I have a buddy who used to hunt there and got a real nice 8 pt in velvet. I thought they had a rule there now that you cant bring any of the meat or deer parts off the island, how about the rack? My buddy said he saw more bucks there in 1 hr then he saw the past 10 yrs hunting in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
