I've been to the big buck banquets. I won't go back for my own recognition. I probably won't enter another buck unless it meets B&C. If I shoot additional B&C I probably won't enter them.

I share this to say: I think the numbers will always be a bit off. Lots of guys (many in this forum) who simply don't care to enter their bucks. I suppose every state is that way. I also believe deer densities and hunter densities vary greatly state to state. It would be really hard to quantify the "best deer hunting state". You can't come up with that title based on entries.

I’m confused. Is there a question? My interpretation is that Rex is saying Ohio is one of the best states for deer hunting, regardless of what others point to as “faults” in our current regulations. And I would completely agree with him.

This is what i read it as. He was being polite about telling people to quit bitching.

Nobody wants to be number 2 that just means we are the first losers. lol. Honestly just my opinion I think we need to go to a draw system like Iowa for non residents. It’s crazy how many places a year locals loose to non residents with deep pockets that know money talks. I also think we should go to earn a buck for a few years and see what that does to the caliber of bucks running around. Just my own 2 cents.

I've never been to a banquet despite having 3 deer that I expect would hit the booner category. I suspect their are many more like me in other states.

One and done for me. I won't try to talk anyone out of going. Just wasn't for me.

I used to try to kill the biggest deer I could find. Just for me. Now I just try to fill the freezer.

I guess it's just maturing as a hunter or as a person.
