I wonder if trackers, like the Berniers or Benoits, would be able to take big bucks if they were given the opportunity to hunt Anticosti Island?

The idea of spending thousands of dollar to hunt small whitetails on Anticosti Island is lost on me, but life is a mystery.[/quote]

You can't find what is not there. Bucks don't get a chance to grow very big on Anticosti. I do not care who you are, if the deer aren't there, you re not going to find them, unless, of course, you bring their own deer. As for the ability of the Berniers and Benoits to somehow track big bucks on Anticosti, it would be interesting. The island is very different from other places to deer hunt. It is certainly very different than northern New England. Where I go on the island , terrain varies from wide open peat bogs to incredibly dense forest with the occasional dry meadows, open woods and a few decent sized lakes.
