Since th OP said whitetail, with no doubt I would hunt the Golden Triangle of South Texas.  You guys can have the rest of the country.

If your talking deer,both Whitetails and Muledeer ,I wouldn't trade all of them together for Saskatchewan.More huge deer hit the dirt without ever being recorded.For all other big game,Albertas No.1
Hunting in both these provinces offers unlimited diversity ,it has to be experienced to truly believe it.

I think Kansas,they have some huge ones and i wouldnt care if i got one or not, just seeing them would be a thrill.But, the mississippi tombigbee river bottoms with soybean fields grows some huge ones too and im already familier with that area as i grew up there.I was deer hunting there before deer hunting was cool in that area.Back then the big thing was quail hunting.

A funny thing,,when i lived in Ms i ran a meat processing plant and Bill Jourdan(sp) of realtree, who at that time as i remember just ran a pulpwood buisness, brought in a buck to be processed and i caped the head out for him to be mounted.The way i remember it, it scored to be the state record at that time.The buck itself was not a real big one body size but the rack was so big that it almost looked like a freak with that set of horns on it.It was the most awsome set of horns i have ever seen and i have seen plenty of monsters. Never heard if it actually made the state record or not.Now he is a big time hunting show dude with a well known hunting clothes buisness from a small backwoods town.

I don't know.  It is always fun seeing different country.  I could go pretty much anywhere and see more deer, so I think the west like Montana or Wyoming to see a totally different landscape to the thick tight woods of Maine.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Right here in Bama. I killed a 6 point 200 yards away from my LazyBoy. I can literally start a stalk where my yard ends and have a chance at killing a deer or any number of small game.

cahaba,we have plenty of deer too, i have stands just outside of my yard and they keep a path wore out from going by.But the clubs all around here bring in feed litterally by the truck load and it has caused the deer to become completely nocturnal.You can sit in stands or anywhere you want all season and you would be lucky to see two deer the whole season.Most of the clubs close by are ran by doctors,lawyers and such and the wardens pretty much will not bother them about it even though they are aware of whats going on.

HHmmmmm.....didn't know there were whitetails in Alaska.   :knothead:    

As for me, I'll stay right here in my own state of KY for whitetail hunting.

If I had to choose another state for whitetail, I guess I would like to try Iowa or Illinois.

whitetails alone......Saskatchewan or Iowa.


for variety of game I will stay here in SC...generous bags and seasons, diversity in game animals, etc.  For example in Lowcountry and my area...season is 15 Aug- 1 Jan with no break...unlimited bucks on private property, 6 does available.  turkey, hog, alligator, small game, upland birds, bear (Horry Cty and Upstate), coyote, etc...

if state politics, cost of living, and friendliness to hunters was not part of equation.....I think Vermont, Maine, northern Idaho and Colorado.

If I could hunt any state?  It wouldn't be for white tails, I'd want to shoot some gators.  For white tails ill stay in Canada I'm afraid but any or the northern states will have some dandy whitetails for sure.

how about Georgia? deer,turkeys,bear,hogs,gators, coyotes and small game. the limit on deer is 12 per year. Mountains in the north, swamps in the south, and plenty of farmland. North Georgia is one of the few places where bear hunting is still spot and stalk with no dogs or bait.
