I can leave the house and see at least 20 different buck every night between 130" and 190" inch. And that's all in a 7 mile drive. I guess we are spoiled when it comes to big whitetails. There's alot of good public land around also.

I guess I'll put in a plug for North Dakota.Four month+ bow season with both whitetail and mule deer. Antelope- don't forget we held the P&Y world record for many years. We have once in a lifetime elk, moose and bighorn sheep. Turkeys, both spring and fall. We raise more ducks than any other state with an early Canada goose season that opens in two weeks. I guess if you have some time left we also have some world class fishing as well. I don't pay to hunt here and instesd rely on a handshake and building relationships with some great people. Our seasons definitely change, but that's why God invented snow camo.

Lost Creek,
 I visited with you at Coon Rapids. If you are so overrun with big bucks you should have invited me down!

Oregon-Why, let's see:
3 species of deer, mulies, whitetails, blacktails.
2 species of elk, Roosevelt, Rocky Mountain.
2 species of sheep, California, Rocky Mtn (draw or raffle only).
Black bear (spring and fall seasons).
Cougar (almost year round).
Mountain goats (draw or raffle only).
Antelope (draw or raffle only).
Turkey's, 2 species, Merriams and Rios (I might be wrong about the species).
Puddle ducks in the swamps, diving ducks on the Columbia, geese in the fields (7 sub species).
Salmon, steelhead, large and smallmouth bass, sturgeon, walleye, tuna, lingcod, et al. fishing.
Lots of small game, coyotes, grouse, rabbits, ect.
Beautiful beaches, high mountains, deserts, you can ski and surf in the same day!  The worlds best beer and the wine's not bad either.
I'm sure I forgot something, OK I forgot the weather can be a tad rainy, but hey, everywhere has a drawback!  It's not perfect, but it's where I call home.  A couple other things, some of the best bow wood lives there, yew and vine maple, as well as a few "decent" bowyers and shops, Raptor Archery, Blacktail Bows, Liberty Bows, Fox Archery, John Strunk, and others.  Sheesh, now everyone is going to want to move there!

They say you should never ask a man if he is a Texan. If he is he will tell you pretty soon. If he is not, there is no reason to embarrass him

I would say Iowa. Great deer hunting, upland birds, small game, bass and great trout fishing in the NE corner. If they had wild hogs it would be heaven on Earth.

Everyone here can say what they want,but it just doesn't get any better than the unofficial 53rd state CANADA ! we got it all.Where I live in Saskatchewan (SW) we've got Whitetails .Muledeer and Antelope. Probably the best Duck and goose huting in NA upland birds galore and 25 miles from where I'm typing this the World record Rainbow trout 43+ lbs. OH ! and now Wild Hogs, true Russians running all over. UTOPIA !

I ain`t moving anywhere that don`t have snakes. I got too much invested in snake boots. I`d prolly walk to fast to kill anything if there were no cottonmouths to make me go slow and look.RC

Can't believe no one mentioned Nebraska, big mule
deer, white tail, and elk, geese, duck. May not be much to look at but lots to hunt. Hey there is nothing else to do there from Sept. 5, until Nov. 25.

Well, we don't have hogs...but no poisonous snakes either.  I have to able to smell the salt water.  Plenty of ducks (bag limit of six), resident geese (15 daily), a deer season that runs from Sept. 1 to the end of Jan., squirrels big as coons and then its time to bowfish.  Haven't tried the rays yet but we have so many of them that I don't fish much any more in the bay.

Hey Steve,

You forgot to mention the bone numbing cold weather you guys have too and not for just a month or two of it but at least 4 months in a good year.  :)
