Michigan isn’t ranking too high…
Make sure that you post your comments, or login into the forums... Shoot straight... A couple friends of mine sent me emails with their opinion for Whitetail hunting throughout the rest of the country – see if you concur.
Anyone watched this episode yet? What a Joke!

MI Grand Slam’s comments:
Not sure I agree with the list too much. Here are my thoughts………..
MI is fair to poor at best. Deer mgt sucks. Too many hunters and issued tags.
SK & AB are too commericalized theses days. Was great in the late 80′s and 90′s. Was there did that.
TX…overrated…..all ranch hunting over bait piles……………been there did that.
MT…great place to hunt. Just not enough Whitetails and getting very commericialized in recent years. Been there did that.
WY….same as MT. Been there did that.
KS….The best place I have ever hunted whitetails with a stick & string………getting very commericalized and expensive.
OH…..hidden gem….getting much more attention these days.
IL & IN……great whitetail states. IL is very commericialized & can be costly.
Wow. Wisconsin was not even listed. I am not sure I agree with that. there are some great areas, with large bucks in Wisconsin. On the other hand, I am glad we were not mentioned. I grew up in Southern Arizona. Back in the 60′s there was an unfound treasure, known only to the locals. Arivaca, Arizona was a mule deer and coues deer mecca. Field and Stream, and Outdoor Life did some big articles on it, and within a year the area was overrun with hunters. The herds were over killed, and took some serious recovery effort to come back. So, Wisconsin whitetail are almost non existent!!
