Ok so me and a few buddies want to schedule a semi guided or non guided whitetail hunt somewhere. We would like to go somewhere where theres a good chance to see and have a opportunity at a 130 class or better buck. We are not looking to hunt a high fence. I've been hunting hard for years with not much luck besides does. My problem is the location I hunt has so much preassure the deer are nocternal and people shoot anything that walks. I'm open to hunting with any weapon. I'd really like to hunt a place where deer tend to have more mass, the width is the least of my worries. For this reason I haven't looked into Texas very much. Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Another option is go hunt public land in Missouri, kentucky, or Iowa. Also if any of you OBers have a prime spot I'd pay for the trip. Sorry for the long post and typos I'm on my phone.

Bump for the weekday crowd. I'm currently in contact with a guy in Missouri for a archery only hunt, but I'm not sure what to look for and what will set apart one place from another.

Price point is your biggest consideration...

I've hunted Saskatchewan several times and 130+ is very doable there. Gonna set you back $4,500+ just for the hunt and that doesnt include flights, etc.

In the States I'd look at Kansas, I turkey hunted with Wally Eldridge at Central Kansas Whitetails this past Spring. The place is covered in whitetails and he kills bigguns every year. They averaged 160+ during the muzzleloader week. The man knows what he's doing. I'll be booking a hunt there myself if I get an opportunity.

Regardless of where you choose to hunt you need to book soon. The great outfitters should be booked solid by now. Forget public land, thats a crapshoot..
