whitetail that don't brake the bank ?

[Stones]

Just looking for a hunt that is unguided that I could do every other year that is relatively cheap. Any help is appreciated thanks

Are you looking for trophy bucks or just to hunt? Pretty sure you can almost hunt every state for whitetail relatively inexpensively. Maybe not your big buck states or coues deer, but pick anywhere in the east with some public land and have fun.

I should have specified. looking for a state that has a decent amount of public land that isn't over ran by hunters. I've done Wisconsin on private and seen some of the public land and figured there were more hunters than deer. not looking for huge bucks more opportunity is what I'm looking for

Following, but would prefer Wyoming, idaho, or Colorado.

Probably depends if you're hunting archery or gun seasons how much pressure there is.

You'll find miles of public land with little hunter pressure during archery season in northern MN. Probably not going to see many deer though.

Doubt there's any slam dunks where you can go for cheap whenever you want, have tons of public, prime hunting, and little pressure.

Nonresident buck tags in Pennsylvania are cheap and OTC. Doe take an application but aren't tough to get.

Lots and lots of public land and pretty good deer numbers.

It ain't Colorado, but it's cheap

Come to Florida, plenty of Public Land and you can get away from people.

Maine has a lot of private timber company land open to hunt. The bast network of logging roads provide pretty decent access. Not high deer density numbers but some of the largest bodied deer in North America.

Nebraska would get a big vote from me. Lots of public ground and farmers/ranchers are usually willing to let you hunt, especially during bow and muzzleloader.

Where do you live?

Draw a 50-100-150 miles radius using your house as the center. See what public land falls in there. Probably a good place to start.

I hunt 1 wma about an hour from home. No desire to go any further.

I’d love a 300# doe.

 

[fshaw]

That’d be a big one.

 

[JAE]

Is there much public land access in Nebraska that a guy could get a tag on even if it took a couple years?

 

[saskhunter]

We need more info, where are you from and what are you willing to do in terms of travel?

 

[JAE]

I’m from southern Utah and willing to drive east as far as Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa or anywhere close to that.

 

[Stones]

Utah same as JAE willing to travel As far as needed to get a hunt that’s worth while

 

[JohnJohnson]

Are you meaning to hunt eastern whitetail? Because given you're in Utah, a close-ish one that'd be a hell of a lot of fun would be coues deer in southern Arizona. I think depending on the unit you want it's relatively easy to draw too.
