Western Whitetail Fix
But any serious whitetail hunter should not overlook the western whitetail opportunities found in the rugged hills and tree-torn creek bottoms found there. After all, it was the boys at Realtree who brought western whitetail hunting into our living rooms season after season, causing many of us to add these non-traditional whitetail regions to our own hunting wish list. When you consider the overall whitetail numbers and trophy potential states like Montana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming and Colorado consistently produce, you might want to trade that small Mid-Western wood lot for the elbow room these western hangouts provide.
Montana is king when it comes to overall B&C and P&Y entries with 597 making the lofty record book cut. Colorado comes in a distance second with 235 book bucks, and the often overlooked state of Washington rounds out the top three with 178 bucks etched in the pages of these esteemed record keeping accounts. Don't count out Idaho with 158 toads or Wyoming with 143 brutes making the cut either.
As the numbers add up--1,311 to be exact--one can see a trip to any of these western hangouts should be on your wish list too. Here are a handful of bucks my buddies Keith Miller of Montana Whitetails (www.montanawhitetails.com) and Mike Schmid of Solitude Ranch in Wyoming (www.huntsro.com) guided hunters to the last couple of seasons. And if this doesn't get you wanting a western whitetail fix, then nothing else will!
