Agree with the comment that there are big boys just about anywhere, the key is to find a pocket that holds good genetics and then focus on them.

There have been some outstanding bucks taken in populated areas here in Mass. that will really grab your attention. But also, as someone else said Maine and the Northern states hold big bucks......but they don't come easy, you might be lucky to see one deer in a couple days of hunting. If that's your ticket then go for it.

I have yet to graduate to strictly mature bucks, I still enjoy filling my tags with does and rack bucks, haven't gotten too choosy as of yet.
