And that Folks, is what happens when you get on a forum before you have had your coffee!
If I wanted a really big whitetail I'd be looking to the prairie states. NE, KS and both Dakotas have some monsters. NE is kind of a sleeper but I have seen huge bucks around Valentine. MT, WY and CO all have good whitetails as well. Most of these areas would also have mulies so you would have to do some soul searching if you want a whitetail and a big mulie steps out.
MN and WI also kick out some good deer. It goes without saying the IL, IN and IA have huge bucks but they can be pricey. Closer to where the originator is he could look into ME and NH. Both those states kick out some good deer.
Before any serious recommendations are made, there is some additional info that needs to be offered:
#1) What constitutes "big" to you?
#2) How far do you want to go?
#3) How much do you want to spend?
#4) What method do you want to use? Bow/rifle/muzzleloader?
#5) Is one time of year better for you than another?
