North vs. South
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??

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.

RE: North vs. South
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.
