if you can access some private land via connections on here & are looking at Southern Indiana, I'd suggest trying to get into Orange or Washington counties. A couple of local taxidermists that I hunt & hang out with say the deer they mount from those areas seem to have antler size advantage over the surrounding counties like Harrison, Floyd & Crawford.

On a public land note, the Hoosier National is extremely overhunted & quite frankly, a dangerous place to be on the opening morning of gun season. I'd recommend the Harrison-Crawford State forest if you are stuck to public ground. It has lots of room & there are many "side" tracts of 50-300+ acres not directly connected to the main forestry area. Alot of hunters, including locals, have no idea about these smaller areas & often think it is unaccessible private ground. I hunt a select few of these pieces of ground & rarely see another soul. Alot of the ground is less than ideal habitat with sheer cliffs & rough terrain, but I have seen & killed more than a few 130+ class bruisers cruising there.
