Your favorite river bottom states (public)
Interested in good river bottom hunting on public land. I'm not looking for gps coordinates or even the counties. I'm interested in what your favorite state is for river bottom hunting w/ public access.

Re: Your favorite river bottom states (public)
Any of the states bordering the Mississippi river. My favorite is KY, but I live there
No kiddin, as far as the size of deer goes, it seems the areas along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers traditionally had the largest body and antler size. Although in the last 10 years or so, the lands farther and farther away from those rivers are catching up. That might be different in other states, I don't know. Maybe it's because our deer herd hasn't been around as long compared states up north. But long ago if you wanted big deer, you went close to the rivers. If you live close to an area like that, go to some taxidermy shops after gun season and take a look at what's been brought in. That might give you an idea where the bigger deer roam, generally speaking.
