Today, Sépaq Anticosti is a vast hunting paradise that offers exclusive rights, where white-tailed deer-hunting activities perpetuate ancestral traditions. No matter which package you choose, the quality and variety will be sure to satisfy you. White-tailed deer hunting is Anticosti's featured activity, and with good reason. In 2006, the aerial inventory taken by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune (MRNF) estimated about 166,000 deer on the island. With a density of 20.9 deer/km2, Anticosti is among the spots in Eastern North America with the highest concentration of deer. In this paradise, deer is king!
The White-Tailed Deer... a class apart! Did you know that...
- The absence of predators makes the deer more active during the day.
- Their special diet gives the meat a more delicate flavour.
- The island's isolation protects them from the diseases and ticks often found elsewhere.
Sépaq Anticosti... an enviable reputation! With over 20 years of experience in hunting activities, Sépaq Anticosti has earned itself an international reputation. Careful attention to every detail assures you a unique experience. According to hunters, the personnel's exemplary devotion throughout your stay and the professionalism of our guides creates an incomparable hunting atmosphere. The numerous hunting territories all have something in common - their vastness, which allows you to hunt in total safety.
Do you hear the call of the wild? At any time of year, whether you're alone or with a group, reserve a stay of 3 to 7 nights. Choose between the American and European plans, and the service of one guide for 2, 4 or 8 hunters. You can hunt in an ATV or take advantage of an exclusive territory for bow and black powder hunting. At the Jupiter 12, we offer high-end packages and the Royal Combo including white-tailed deer hunting, and sea trout and Atlantic salmon fishing. If you'd like to extend your hunting season until mid-December, late-season hunting is available.
Sépaq Anticosti also offers a package without a guide with cabin or rustic shelter accommodations. Hunting rights are usually distributed through random draw, but following calls to winners, some hunting stays may still be available.
For many, hunting in Anticosti is a dream! Passing on the hunting tradition is important to us. See our specials for the next generation of hunters and families, plus our 5th hunter special featuring free hunting.
Hunting with a Guide
Equipped with a four-door truck, a mobile radio and an all-terrain vehicle, the guide will meet you at the airport and take you to your place of accommodations. In addition to driving you from the camp to the hunting trails, he'll help you adjust your gear and will accompany you in the forest. Since he'll be familiar with the habits of the white-tailed deer on his territory, he'll advise you on the best hunting method to use, also taking the weather into consideration. He'll transport your game, take care of evisceration and pack the meat for your return home.
Hunting Licence and Harvest
You must purchase your Anticosti Island hunting licence at the reception office when you arrive. A stay in Anticosti gives each hunter the chance to bag 2 deer (male or female) and does not affect your possession limit on the continent. You can therefore also hunt in another area.
Group Hunting
This measure allows members of a group of no more than 6 people to agree to share their white-tailed deer harvest quota, thus allowing each person to hunt if one of the group members has a white-tailed deer hunting licence and at least one transport coupon. When you arrive, this is a choice you'll need to make.
