Strange/funny poll...
I've only hunted 3 states, my home state of NH - pretty good.
Ala. - lot's of Doe's
TX. - many deer

So not much help, unfortunately, however, if you can get some private land in CT. my buddy has done real well (4 bucks over 200lb.).
I'm sure there are good spots and bad spots in every state.

Although you don't hear about Cali. too often???
