Hm. Seems like I'd want to hunt the state or land mass with the highest number of high scoring deer per square mile. That could lead you to the little old state of Maryland if you take the P&Y numbers/land mass. All statistics can be misleadig though. Does Maryland have such a high number per square mile because of the density of large racked deer or the density of hunters in combination with good deer? Very few deer die of old age in this state. Perhaps many do in Tx, Io, Il Wi etc...
