Im from western Va. and we have some pretty good hunting here actually. A lot of farm land with plenty of oak ridges so the land layout rivals that of what ya see on tv a little bit. I'd love to Iowa, Kansas, Saskatchewan (SP?) and there is just something about that sleeper state of Kentucky I am drawn to.

Texas....It truly is a Whitetail candy store!!!!
In some ways this is soooooo, right.

120-139 = $3500
140-159 = $5000
160-174 = $6500
175+ = Call for price

Sorry, no offense intended if you are one of the guys who hunts wildlife, not LIVESTOCK, down there. I know most TX hunters aren't RICH, and do really HUNT, but there are a LOT of the HF guys on line always trying to rationalize the reason for the fence being something other than to contain "THEIR" deer, and manipulate the genetics. Which there may be a couple, but you don't put up $50,000 worth of fence just for recreational hunting.

Deer?....or BIG deer?

Hell I don't know too many who see more deer than I do. They're not big....but they're plentiful. We're changing our slogan this year.

NC - No fanfare. No hoopla. No delusions of grandeur. Just lots of deer. Come kill some!

Its not a state.....Saskatchewan, hands down. The sheer number of big bucks would blow your mind.

i am suprised that no body has mentioned Michigan. we have so many deer that the DNR cannot kill them off fast enough. between the DNR and the cars the numbers are taken down not by hunters.i think michigan is so full of deer that if you do not shoot one it is because you are lazy. the racks are slacking due to the hunting pressure... thatsa whole nother debate..... but seriously Michigan rocks.

i always see huge massive deer each year and on my hunting property it is nothing to see 100-150 deer a night. the only question is where they come out at. p.s. even with the hunting pressure record book bucks are taken off the property on average of 3 years. and seeing them frequently. we have 20 people hunting 150 acres.

I was going to say, why not just ask, "What state are you from?" because you'd get the same response to each question from most people, but looking at the responses and member profiles, I'd have been wrong. I sure love the deer hunting here in WI, but I know Iowa and Kansas are big time deer states too.
