The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.
45/70,it's almost a religion.
If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

I can't tell you the best, but can tell you it sure isn't Pennsylvania.

Yep. There is a bill going thru the legislative process now that will limit deer to (I think) 4 bucks and 4 does. From the mountains to the coast you have deer, bear, pigs, turkey, ducks, upland birds. Just about antsy thing you could want to hunt Rifle season for deer opens in the low country on August 15 Georgia isn't too shabby either

Virginia
$64.00 will purchase a resident license that allows all small game, three (3) turkeys, up to six (6) deer according to where you hunt, and one (1) bear. Bonus tags are available for additional deer at a modest fee. If you are a bowhunter an additional $18.00 is need for that license.
Virginia has 1,700,000 + of public land, mountains in the west (where most of the public land is) and flatland on the eastern side.
Bird hunting, Quail and Grouse sucks!

You can hunt big game every day of the year here in TX if you have access. Resident super combo hunting/fishing is $65.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Getting access is the problem in Texas. There's not a whole lot of public land either. What's the public land situation in South Carolina.

The hunting and license fees in California are so high that many senior citizens can't afford them. Another example, if you are a father and have two kids 17 years or older, to get all of you the hunting license and tags and fishing license your looking at over $450. It really sucks here and you don't get anything for your money.

What you say is true. But the question was what state is it best to OWN land. If you own it in Texas, you certainly have access.

Don't know that it's "the best", but Alabama is pretty good. Since this is in the deer hunting forum, I'm assuming that's what you're interested in. AL has a long season, mid October to end of January for bow, mid November to end of January for rifle. It even runs into Feb in some areas. If you're willing to travel the state, you can hunt the rut a large part of that time as different areas have different rut dates. Cheap license at about $25 for all game. Limit of 3 bucks, essentially unlimited doe harvest with much of the season allowing 2 does a day. Many WMA's across the state (do require an annual $16 WMA license).
If you own the land you're hunting you don't need a license.

Idaho, far north in my case. Own a dozen acres with a "cabin" and back into many, many thousands of public land acres. Whitetail, elk, moose and black bear in the yard let alone the public land. Mule deer bit tough but they are there. Short of moose and goat tags are easy. Ph, and the fishing ain't too bad either.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
