Best whitetail state

[17remhunter]

I grew up in Nevada never saw a white-tail deer until a few years ago. I found them fascinating. Your opinion on what state has the best whitetail hunting. The most un crowded public land etc

The first rule about fight club…

Mule deer are sexier.

Most of the states I've hunted WT in haven't had a ton of public. Montana may be one to look at.

As far as public land and big bucks that's tough, pay to play seems like Iowa would be worth looking into.

What do you want out of the hunt? You can have a lot of fun on public in the SE but you aren't going to find "big" deer by Midwest standards.

Northeast MN will give you many lifetimes of public land to explore and some dang nice bucks, but they won’t come easy. You can easily go a season without seeing a deer.

I think Maine would be a fun hunt.

Yesterday my buddy got this one, way better than an skinny little white tail.

The best whitetail state and public land don’t go together. The biggest whitetails are in the Midwest and there is a lack of public land there.
