Pike county illinois was a legend. Most counties in illinois are better than those now days. Pikes been over hunted for decades now. Going off the record books, then yes your list is correct. But after hunting pressure flooded those top counties, other people took notice and we stopped registering our booners to the record books. Like a lot of people now days dont enter them into the record books.
@@Allthingshuntingandfishing: Just trying to keep it as real as possible. EVERYBODY in Wisconsin enters a B&C/P&Y Buck if they take one! The rest of the list is hit or miss for entries, unless it's an EXCEPTIONAL Typical or Non-Typical Buck. I know of several people that have taken NICE Bucks in several different states that would make the P&Y 3 year, and all-time list that have never had the rack officially scored... Including me! Let's face it, most people's trophies are in the 130 - 160 class (and those are GREAT Deer in most states), and those deer are taken in High Pressure Public Hunting Areas... NOT Private, High Fence Hunting Ranches!!! I take most of my 130-160 class deer within 15 miles of Major Cities (Cincy, Indy, Louisville (and Southern Indiana), Memphis (and Eastern Arkansas), St. Louis (and West Central Illinois etc...). I look for the hardest place to get to that has water (Creek or River Bottoms), that the locals will NOT go... Sometimes a set of Chest Waders, or a Jon-Boat are your BEST Friends! The town of Orangeburg, and Orangeburg County SC is a GREAT place to hunt BIG Swamp Bucks' So are the swamps in Sumter SC! Central and Southern Indiana is a hidden gem when it comes to the numbers of 140 - 160 class bucks! Maryland's outer banks are TOUGH as Hell, but there are some BRUTES for the taking if you're willing to go deep! If you don't mind the terrain, Pennsylvania will give you a good chance at a nice deer, and New Jersey, well let's just say the locals can be your Best Friends with the crowds and all the commotion they create! Anyway, Good Hunting and Fishing to you and yours!
@@mikel.4885: I'll stick with New Jersey... It's smaller and more compact than Virginia, and as I said earlier, the local Jersey CROWDS are like hunting with dogs down south... They hunt in PACKS and drive more deer away into hard to get to places... Places the locals won't go! Virginia is VAST and has some GREAT Places, but the KNOWLEGABLE Local Hunters KNOW those places and hunt them exclusively, leaving the out-of-town visitors precious few places to hunt for the QUALITY Deer that are in those areas. Virginia reminds me of a North Carolin/Pennsylvania hybrid type of place to hunt. Lots of mountainous terrain with good pockets to hunt and some that are damn near impossible to get to! Don't get me wrong, I like hunting Virginia, but with my type of hunting (close to Metro areas), a lot of Virginias (TOO MANY), have figured it out too. They get all year to scout, and I only get a week before the hunt. BUT I say GOD Bless them, they deserve the success they've earned!!! Have a good season in the woods!

I agree with you. Wisconsin really pushed B&C submissions for a while. Which can kinda skew numbers imo
@Allthingshuntingandfishing yes I agree with you there too. Your video presentation is very great quality and informative.
Thanks brotha! Just trying to keep folks entertained and make it all about the outdoors. Thanks for the support
