what state would you want to own hunting property in

you got that right. I'm glad I live on this side of the line.

 

I would say eastern NC or Southeast Virginia. it is a toss up. Both states have great bucks and awesome potential.

 

Colorado hands down, Elk, Mule Deer, Black Bear, Sheep, Goats, Moose, Fishing, Kayaking and best of all its all available in the Rocky Mountain Backcountry...... *slipped into dream*

 

Similar thinking. Plus plentiful public lands.

But I think WY or MT would be more my gig. I think move of the species Bails mentions +/- are also present, but the land space and conservative political ideology in these two states (with some difference generally in metro areas) align more with my thinking. My wife would veto however due to winter temps.

AZ and NM are possibilities.

AK would have to also attractive and worth consideration but would be costly and have other challenges.

I love whitetail hunting, but the mountains and western hunting seem to have found a place in my heart.

 

Anywhere the Good Lord Above would grant me my piece of property!! Ive been living on Long Island my whole life, I probably have more people on my block than a lot of you have in your entire towns!! Honestly, i`m not picky, would just the opportunity to own acreage with a beautiful home on it!!

 

Colorado or give up the idea of food plots and head to Idaho.

 

Y'all need to shut up about KY...nothing to see there at all.

 

I've been looking at my government retirement projections. It ain't looking pretty. Public land hunter for life! lol

 

Kansas hands down.

 

Yep. Only 3 or 4 deer in KY and half of the bucks are spikes.

 

KY is a sleeper state? Heehee. Good one.

 

Iowa or Wisconsin

 

Our family has a ranch in WMU 212 (archery only zone in Alberta); I'd love to have my own land near there. We have trophy elk, moose, mule deer, and white tail. The problem is the land goes for about $1.5 million per 160 acres

 

Oklahoma is good, but in my opinion definitely not a top 5 whitetail state.

 

Illinois and Minnesota for me where the giants roam.

 

Good, don't come hunt here. We have this thing called wind and it's a challenge making long range shots. And numbers don't lie, we are rising through the ranks quickly.

 

Just about anywhere, I have never hunted anything over 20 acres in the suburbs, I would love to get out of the way a little bit. My hope for when I am older is to own at least 50 acres.

 

Oklahoma also has tool bags. And you are the first on the list. Numbers don't lie.

 

Maryland has an abundance of game but land is sparse and expensive usually. West Virginia land is cheaper and so is Pennsylvania. Great corridor for getting many opportunities of game.
