RE: what state has best chance for trophy whitetail
Gotta vote for the great state of Illinois.
I hunt Pike and Calhoun. I usually see several P&Y and even a few Booners each year. One of my guys killed a Booner in Calhoun this year and my nephew got one in Pike.
Some of the biggest sheds I have seen came from little-known McDonough County.
Good luck!
