Re: Comparing Texas and Saskatchewan

I don't know the actual stats. I have heard for years that Texas ( especially the golden triange in South Texas ) produces the most book deer each year. I do not know how accurate that is because there are alot of high fence ranches there. I am inclined to think they are talking about B&C score not what actually makes the book. I am interested to know.

Re: Comparing Texas and Saskatchewan

Isn't most of the hunting in Texas done on large acreage high fenced ranches? I'm talkin like 10,000 acres or more. I don't know, that's just my impression. please prove me wrong if i am.

Also, aren't they two different species of deer? Northern and southern? I would think that sasks has bigger deer and are harder to hunt.

Yes they are two different subspecies of deer. Think Sask the deer are so much bigger than in Texas, that a lot of very nice antlered deer are not as noticeable due to the huge body size in comparison to Texas. In other words take the same antlers on a buck from Texas and put them on a Sask buck, the antlers on the Texas deer would appear more impressive due to the considerably smaller body.

If I ever had a choice to hunt either, Sask would be my choice.

Here is the website http://www.boone-crockett.org/

I can't find it but they uses to have a coloer coded map of the areas producing the most trophy's. You could also go to a librayr or a book store and check out the B&C book Records of North American Big game yourself. On the website they have a number for their office in Montana, a call to them might also help you out.

Superguide, I can't find any info on it. You would think that someone out there would have a simple little data sheet with the states and a breakdown of the number of B&C deer from each. Have seen some magagine articles in the past, beleive it or not Texas nor Sask was on the top ten. I don't know about that , there are alota of mighty big bucks in both places.

NO, most Texas hunting is not done on high fence ranches of 10,000 acres or more!! I grew up there and hunted all my life and never hunted a high fence place. Texas, just like a bunch of other states has a bunch of high fence places, but most hunters can't afford to even walk up and look through the fence!! Most of S. Texas as well as the rest of the state are free ranging whitetails!
