Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
the question is very vague... are you asking which state has the most deer? highest success rate? biggest bodies? biggest antelrs?
I would say some of the midwest states like ohio, illinois, iowa and indiana are going to have some of the biggest racks, northern states like maine and minnesota will have the biggest deer... Although there are exceptions...

i agree with you bionicrooster, i just believe that if you want go somewhere where you can expect to see more than a few 150+ deer, south texas would be the place to go.
now, they mat be on a game ranch, but that is where to go.
i would much rather go to the farmland of illinios or ohio, like you said, and hunt though.
I grew up hunting in the woods.....so for me the best state to hunt in is a state with big woods!!! Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota etc, I love hunting in and around an area with big hardwoods! JMO!

I would suggest that the best state to hunt deer the state Sobriety! Anything less and stay out of MY Woods!
Actually whatever state you have a valid license for would be the best state to hunt in! Deer seem to be available in most states and it is fun to hunt - so there you have it hunt in whatever state you want and have fun![8D]
Seriously, the North contrystates -(ME, Northern NY, VT & NH and ME) is where you will find the Old Big Monster Bucks, but you will really have to work for them. The Midwestern states (OH, IN, WI, IL, MO, etc) you'll get some real nice farm fed brutes. Southern states (GA, AL, MS, etc) have incredible limits, so you can get quantity! Texas has bunches, but I believe you have to pretty much buy your way to a good spot (so I've heard - haven't been there - so it's here-say). PA, WVand MI are always good choices, but I thinkthose states have an issue with herd management and it may be a few years until they hold top spots again.
The pacific northwest has great deer hunting as does portions of the southwest, so I guess you can see what I meant by my statements above that wherever you have a license& tags would be the best state to hunt in!
