Don't bring a big gun since you will waste a lot of meat. I use a 20 gauge rifled slug gun. Any time is good for hunting but early fall has decent weather most days and it is less crowded. BTW there are bears so if you want to get one be aware that only a half dozen in total can be harvested each year then the bear season is closed on QCI.
thanks for the info i find it always tough to know the right places the first time you go to a new area, i plan to be on the north side of the island, and if i find a butcher out there do you think they host lessons or walkthroughs or let me watch if i took a deer to them?
