How many of you have hunted in the south but live in the north? I have always hunted here b/c I live here, never been up north. I have talked to guys that have hunted in the north and they say there seems to be less deer, but better quality. I know the mid west is better, so that's not in the equation. We do have big bucks, that is a fact that everyone knows, but I don't know if we have the quanity of big bucks like the north. What do yall think??

Just for the record, we consider Virginia "north".. [8D]

North Rocks
No snakes, Bugs or deliverance guys[&:]

The far north!!!

Ouch!!! Va the north!! man, you obviously have not been down Monument Ave in Richmond, Va. Take a trip to Richmond and I think you will find out very quickly that Va is surely southern. Not Northern Va, but Southern Va and Western Va, southern to the core.

Oh yeh, where was Lee, Jackson, and Edmund Ruffin from??? Edmund Ruffin fired the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter..look it up guys!! We take offense!!! LOL!!!!j/k

VA if you want to be on the losing side, more power to you

OUCH!!!!!!!!! oh no you didn't Germ!!!! LOL!!

I have hunted in FL, VA, PA and NY over the years. FL goes without saying (little deer). VA had some nice deer, but it is like anywhere else. The population is dependent on the area. Here in NY, we have some big deer in the Adirondacks (but, good luck finding them). We tend to have smaller deer in central NY due to younger bucks because of the hunting pressure. PA is the same way. The further you get from the pressure, the better the chances of seeing big deer. I always found the further west I went in VA, the bigger the deer were. Too much hunting pressure in the east.

anyway.......Back to the original question....looking for a little insite on the northern state deer population, not comments on were we live. Oh by the way for those of you who want to debate with VABOWMAN .....dont...he is a high school history teacher.
