bbarnhart20 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Preferably i'd like to hunt saskatchewan!! But in the US I want to hunt along the Milk River in Montana. I plan to move out there after college and buy some land but seeing as how I'm going to school for Architecture my mom says there won't be much work out there... so i'll just live off the land!!

Tominator Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? Based on what I've seen this year in this forum: Illinois. I would avoid big cities like Chicago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mnarcher Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? If you want big body deer then you need to go to Canada. I would go to South Texas if you were going rack hunting. From what I have seen on Reatree Outdoors they seem to grow some huge racks down there.

rockefeller66 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? BOY............ummmmm..........some where in the midwest, i do like hunting the Loess Hills in Iowa, we own some land here and it is awesome!!!!!!!! If we could get more land together and maybe more people to go with us on our management then we could very well have one of the best big deer spots in the world!!!!!!!!

jbeck Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? Mid west, I hunt in Montana, you have alot of deer there, but really big bucks are rare. I'm talking 160 and up. On a good food year we take some good 140 to mid 150 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? Iowa or Southern Illinois SE Iowa has some huge bucks coming outa there lately ... but the sleeper state is Western Kentucky if you can get somewhere in there I doubt you regret that ...

Leo Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? Good point BC180. But I believe years and years of Kansas denying non-residents to hunt big game undoubtably affected their status in the record books. Now their borders are open and it's always one of the top choices you hear to pursue big deer. What does that tell you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdeerhunter03 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: GIANT DEER STATE OF CHOICE ??? Kansas has 6 of the top 10 PY deer of all time and 4 of the BC deer of all time, hummmm 50% of the largest bucks EVER! THINK ABOUT IT!

No big bucks here. Go to Illinois, or I hear Oklahoma is quite the sleeper state. Just look at this monster recently taken in Oklahoma, on public ground to boot.
