The votes are in, and we have a winner! Wisconsin has officially been crowned the “Best Whitetail State” after beating out Michigan with 54% of the votes.
With an estimated deer population of 1.6 million and over 6.6 million acres of public land, it’s no wonder The Badger State is a whitetailer's paradise.

Janis Putelis repped Wisconsin in this bracket and has a good reason why: “My favorite whitetail state is Wisconsin. It's got the hardcore deer culture of Michigan AND big bucks. It's also where I own deer hunting land, which I love to manage the habitat on. My connection to that 40 acres is stronger than ever. I can smell it just thinking about it. And although I grew up hunting Michigan and Wisconsin, Wisconsin is where we had our real deer camp. A deer camp is a special thing; I wouldn't be who I am today without that camp.”
