Food is still the secret



Hi to all, food is certainly the most important factor to produce quality bucks.  Everyone agrees that Anticosti is not renowned to produce big mature whitetails.  However, two years ago at Lac Geneviève outfitters, a 216 pounds gutted deer was killed in a fenced enclosure management zone where the deer density has been controlled for the past years so that the natural vegetation may have a chance to survive to the excessive deer grazing.  On this picture is a buck photographed at the end of a sunny day at Port-Menier along the shore.  The antlers are phenomenal for Anticosti because in the village, the bucks still have access to old fields from Henri Menier’s time that still produce quality food as compared to the rest of the island. Have a good day.  Louis
