What in your opinion is the the best under rated state for big whitetails?
I know the obvious states (Iowa,Nebraska,Kansas, Kentucky,Ohio.Missouri,Illinois)
What other states do you think routinely have big bucks but aren’t talked about? I think
Parts of Arkansas has some great whitetails.

West Tennessee, the nearer to the KY border the better.

All we got in Southern MD are spikes and little basket racks.
Can't believe Bill didn't let this one get some age in it....

Some years back, I visited Southeast Wyoming, there are some giant whitetails roaming the foothills there!

Antler restrictions in Pa aren’t working because there’s idiots with crossbows taking ill advised shots. Never recovering bucks and they just shoot more.

Might have those little deer in southern Maryland. But, I’d stay away from the Delmarva Peninsula all together. We got nothing over here.


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Gordon Ramsey, maybe…

You may have seen small deer but, we have no big deer here. We are full of hunters and have no deer worth hunting.
