The 100 Best Public Lands for Deer
Field & Stream reporter Steven Hill spent two months interviewing state game agency officials, deer biologists, and whitetail experts to identify the absolute best public whitetail hunting grounds in the nation. No membership fees, no meetings, no permission, no special rules -- just deer, and plenty of them.
Choose a state from the pull-down menu at right or just scroll down through this page to find Hill's recommendations for an area near you.
How come there is no California? California has perfectly good whitetail hunting.

JP --In answer to your post: "How come there is no California?" -- Because there's not a single whitetail deer in the state. California is Mule Deer/Blacktail Deer country only.

Well then can't you do one on black tail deer and mule deer?

NY I CAN CONFIRM THAT RATTLESNAKE HILL IS THE BEST WHITETAIL HUNTING IN NYS. MY BEST FRIEND HAS A LEASE IN AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION THAT BORDERS RATTLESNAKE HILL AND WE HAVE KILLED 3 130+ CLASS BUCKS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. ITS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE 100+ DEER ON OPENING DAY BETWEEN 5 GUYS.
