I've hunted Texas for many years for whitetails, and I can tell you straight-out, if you're hunting a big ranch in the Lone Star State, you'll never know it's fenced until you drive to the limits of the property. The deer are just as cunning, wild, and challenging to hunt as anywhere else, plus the weather's usually good, Texas hospitality is second to none, and the food is fabulous.

Northern Idaho is another good whitetail destination (I'm hunting there, do-it-yourself, next season), as well as Kansas.

When it comes to whitetails, I'm keeping my money right here.............
