Whitetail Deer

Video Clip - check out a really nice 11 pointer (18" spread)

The 2006 Whitetail hunt was the best deer season we have experienced since 1988. It was 38% better than last year! Our Deer Season begins with the Archery-Only season which lasts from the First week to the end of the third week of October. The Rifle or Bow Deer Hunting season is from the Last week of October through the third week of November.

In total, there are thirty types of whitetail deer. Those in eastern Canada are known as odocoileus virginian borealis, a woodland deer. Our hunting zone is situated partly in Queens and Kings County. It has had the top adult buck harvest ratio per square kilometer since statistics have been kept in New Brunswick! Average field dress weight of a mature buck varies from 200 to 365 pounds; the latter harvested by George Kennedy in 1992.

We offer tree stands and also ground stands. For those who do not wish to remain in one spot, we take them along deer trails, water holes, river crossings etc... We offer hunting on logging roads, trails on old and new cuttings, hardwood ridges, abandoned orchards, snowmobile trails, power lines etc.. Weather and terrain conditions usually determine the best method to use. Whether using a bow or rifle, and hunting in heavy bush or sparse cover, bogs, rivers, mixed woods, fir, spruce, hardwood, swamps, abandoned farms or crop fields, these elusive bucks will challenge your hunting skills.

By carefully monitoring deer movement over past seasons, before, during and after hunting seasons, we have learned to predict deer movement patterns. Bucks, unless disturbed or spooked, will normally return to the previous season's scraping sectors. We establish ambush points along their routes using tree or ground stands. One important factor to keep in mind is that despite good hunting skills and techniques, you really need to be at the right place at the right time! We will do our best to have you there.

Having been successful in the annual draw, you will have only three days to hunt so your success will depend on a wise choice. Non-residents have an advantage over resident hunters who must specify the zone in which he would like to hunt when he applies for the draw. Non-residents do not have to specify a zone until picking up the license. Your outfitter has the option of choosing any zone and the flexibility to change hunting locations should circumstances warrant it.

We have access to five zones. Big bulls will normally be found with females in September. With only 3 days hunting allowed, alternate hunting sites within a zone are a "must".
