How this list is ranked
Ranked by reported antlered bucks harvest per county from the state wildlife agency, shown alongside each county's huntable public-land share. High harvest + low public land means the deer are on private ground.
Data year: 2024-25. Each row links to its full page with every number cited to its agency source. A place missing a signal is never guessed — it simply can't rank.
