New Whitetail Hunt Destination ???

Stillwater165 · Mar 17, 2024

Looking for a new whitetail destination. With the mule deer hunting at what seems like an all time low all over the west I’m looking for new ideas ? I’ve hunted whitetail in Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri so far. Looking for somewhere different, and definitely a rifle hunt. Somewhere with a growing population of decent deer. No cwd, ehd, blue tongue b.s. outbreak areas ! Where would you go ??? Got to be some good hunting left somewhere !!! I’m wondering about south possibly ???

Canada is definitely on the radar also ! I don’t hear a lot about hunting there, but what I do seems positive

What size of deer are you hoping to kill?

If you want to hunt GA for the chance to kill 2 bucks, 10 does, 3 bears, and all the hogs your backpack can hold, shoot me a PM. You won't be killing any monster bucks but you should have a good time hunting the north GA mountains.

Great idea. For years the flatlanders have headed west. Should send a wave of westies back east.

Lol !!! Dang whitetails will live and thrive just about anywhere from what I’ve seen ! I know there’s places left I don’t think a person could recruit enough to shoot em out ! That’s where I’d like to go next …….

My other half has a cabin in Oklahoma….. I’m well aware of what lives there, just don’t like the new price tag to get one !

NW Oklahoma is my personal favorite. I haven’t personally killed any giants there, but an opportunity at a 130-140” buck is very likely. 150”+ deer are obviously there, but if you wait until rifle season, they are usually busted up pretty bad from fighting.
Maybe 5-6 years ago I had a (10 point) buck come in that was busted off on his left side roughly 2” before his G2. Technically making him a 7pt. Had he not been busted, I’m sure he was in the 165+ range.
You said you don’t like the new price tag to get a tag, consider what you have to spend to apply in any western state as a non-res.
The cost of a license & applying for multiple animals that you most likely won’t draw a tag for.
