What state produces the biggest BUCKS?
 

It's a given that there are monsters everywhere but from the standpoint of habitat, weather, food supply, and genetics... Is there a state that is crowned king with respect tobody weight and antler size?

I don't think you can limit it to any one state. There have been lots of different states that have really turned out some monsters already this year.

I think you would have to look at it from ths perspective of the biggest bucks with the least amount of pressure and having readily available tags to hunt them.

I will say that at least for 2006, I think Ohio is ruling the roost. Kentucky has been hittin on a lot too. At least for this season, they are on top. But I'm sure there have been a done of big deer killed that we just don't know about yet.

This is something that can be argued to the ground.. But big bucks year after year come out of IL and IA both..

I saw an article this year stating that of all the B&C bucks over 200" killed in the US they all came from 10 states. If you look at the chart most of the B&C of any size came from those same 10 states. I'll have to find that chart online because the mag is in my Dad's truck ATM.

I saw a chart one time showing the number of P&Y entries compared to licenses sold and the highest percentage of book entries compared to hunters was Iowa I believe.

Iowa has more Boone and Crocket entries than any state or province in North America.

This mapindicates bothP&Y and B&C totals from every county in the country,the website says it's "current" info. I think it's pretty obvious when looking at this map where most of the big bucks come from .
