Iowa I hope!! I am heading there Oct 31 - Nov 4. Hope I picked a good week. I was thinking it would be good pre-rut phase.

Is a link to Boone and Crockett's whitetail analysis by geographics.

Iowa holds the #1 spot for B&C entries, Illinois is #4

yup, I'd go to Iowa. Our deer herd is really down, there isn't any deer even left. Heck, I don't know of any hunters that have even killed a deer for 2 months.

Was in Borders bookstore the other week and recall paging through a book about P&Y records. Iowa held the number one spot. Don't remember where Illinois stood.
