The Question: "What’s the best spot to kill a monster whitetail on a week-long trip?" I ask myself this question every time I’m in the stand and the answer is always “somewhere else.” The Expert Differal: Since my success with truly big bucks ranks up there with my ability to pick stocks & lottery numbers, I reached out to an expert. John Burrell is a Certified Wildlife Biologist and owner of both the High Adventure Company and Whitetail Destinations. His clients demand the best hunts available so he’s constantly on the prowl for the best areas. “It's hard to beat Texas as a whitetail state for a number of reasons, but first and foremost is the success rate that good ranches offer. While the Midwest is capable of growing huge deer it just can't compete with Texas in terms of success rates.” In fact, Texas alone accounts for about 10 percent the Boone & Crockett Club whitetail entries. “I think Missouri, Nebraska, and Kentucky may be the best bargains in whitetail hunting and, until recently, one of the best kept secrets," said Burrell. They are becoming better known as top whitetail destinations.” It sounds to me like John is onto something: The biggest non-typical rack ever recorded was a pick-up (what a shame) from St. Louis County, Missouri, that measured 333 7/8. The Conclusion: Texas Tell us your opinion of the best spot for huge bucks. We’d love to know where they live.
