We used to hunt bears in Quebec. French Canadians are not very friendly toward Americans. They all know English but refuse to talk to you in English, speaking French for whatever reason. Checking in bears was an adventure in trying not to be deceived into pointing to a wrong area of your kill site.
I've not been to Anticosti but have looked at it a few times. The hunt seemed a bit pricey for the amenities and deer quality. I could take the same $3k and hunt NF in many states a couple of times. To me, an out of state hunt is about the experience - the terrain, uniqueness of the area, figuring out the animal. An animal is a bonus but given a modicum of hunting prowess, a bit of work, and reasonable expectations, success is achievable. Hunting new areas, especially in the west, is still a dang good vacation. We call it armed hiking some years
