One of the best "public" spots that I have found for deer hunting is on the Fort Knox military base in Kentucky. While I have only killed modest 120-inch class deer, I am always hopeful of being drawn each year, primarily because of the size of some deer killed each year.
I ran across another forum yesterday that had a sample of some of the "big" deer checked in last year (pictures were too large for me to imbed, so here is the link:
