In my opinion, the "worst" state would have to be the state that has the most limited availability of hunting land followed by extreme hunting pressure on the remaining ground. I would suspect that this would narrow things down to some of the New England states?
I guess Rhodes Island would fit that discription, my apologizes to all the RI hunters on the board.
Best or Worst is very subjective depending on the hunter. At the extremes are die hard trophy hunters, if it doesn't book they dont shoot, and the meat hunter who is concerned only with having a nice dinner.
For me, the worst would be a place with limited space, limted numbers of deer, high number of hunters and a short seasonwith no chance of taking a good buck. Since I'm not interested in finding those areas I have no idea where it might be located.
