Ohio and Kentucky offer bowhunters the best overall options IMO. Very long bow seasons, ample antlerless tags, great chances at mature bucks, etc.

MT. My buddy just bought a place there, and if I draw, I'll be there next fall. There's a bunch of 135 class bucks there with a good chance to see something bigger.

I'm thinkin Indiana is a sleeper state, going to see more and more big bucks come outta there.

I always wanted to hunt one of the bow zones in Alberta.

So many places, so little time...

I would miss Michigan too much if I went somewhere else and could hunt only one state.

The hunting here used to be much better than it is now, but I still couldn`t leave.

i will say, All of the above. Well, you can't just choose one!!

If I could go to 5 or 6 states a year to bowhunt without my wife killing me, I would.

Right here in Michigan. A lot cheaper in the long run. Plus, the only thing that antlers are good for is stirring soup,lol! [Smile]

Wyoming,SD,Montana. Wyoming has awesome, unpressured bucks and you can choose between the mulies and whitetail.

I've hunted whitetails in PA, NY, NH, ME, MD, VA, AL, TX, MO, MN, WI, KY and CO. Each state was fun.

My choice would have to be somewhere that I haven't been and somewhere that I have a strong desire to hunt......and having preference points to boot......IOWA!

Massive buck everywhere...AND I could still be hunting right now...that's insane...What a lucky bunch out there...

Everyone should come hunt VT for a season to see how good they have it in their state!
