I'd say Kansas #1 - simply awesome if you're in the right country. I saw some monsters in Iowa this fall ... and was driving through and they were by the interstate chasing does ! Iowa #2 and Missourri #3

Want my sleepers ? Kentucky (if you can call it a sleeper anymore), western Oklahoma and South Dakota. Of those 3 , western OK is tops. I've never hunted it, but its the same gene pool and lat/long pretty much as the Colorado plains whitetails and south/central Kansas bucks.
