If I was somewhat interested in a big whitetail I'd look to Iowa, Indiana, Missouri or eastern Nebraska/Kansas. If I really, really, really wanted a big whitetail I'd hit eastern CO since I already have access to a big private ranch loaded with them. But I quit hunting for antlers a long time ago. I'll still hit that aforementioned private ranch in CO this fall but I'll be dragging a plump doe out and not a buck.
