Wisconsin needs to be in that list somewhere. More Pope and Young deer have come out of WI in the past several years than any other state. I think that qualifies us as a "big buck state"

Florida? Lol! There are some dandys there i'm sure. Minnesota use to be the number one state according to the pope and young entries about 15 years ago but the management in this state along with the decisions of the DNR have hurt the bucks terribly aroung here, to many tags given out to the gun hunters! So i would have to say Wis, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and alot of the Canadien provinces and then maybe Minnesota along with Michigan and keep an eye out for North Dakota, there's alot of dandy bucks in that state! I'm sure there's a few others i missed so lets hear about them.
