Sleeper State For Whitetails?

Well I hope this doesn't sound bias. Arkansas has been practicing QDMA for about 15 years now. All of the bucks i have seen this year are good solid deer. One inparticular I know will go over 200". I believe Arkansas has the potential to produce a truely record class deer this year!!

I don't know how these numbers compare to other states, but last year we had I believe 4 200" deer (and over 65 scored above 160") were reported killed in Mississippi. I also read somewhere that our deer population is estimated to be around 1.75 million, which our density of deer is second in the nation under Texas. We've had a really good program under MS Department of Wildlife for years.

It kinda ticks me off when non-residents get "all these tags" and resident hunters(myself included) sometime get zero.
Back on topic, I'm gonna say Michigan.

No mention of Maryland, hell even Delaware for the size of the state compared to there B&C and P&Y numbers is unreal. Even Virginia is producing some giants but when you look at the size of the state and the amount of monsters they produce I choose my home state of Maryland.
