Whitetail Geography Quiz
The buck pictured is a fine trophy in anyone’s book. Shot three years ago by a friend of mine (who shall, for the time being, remain anonymous), this whitetail comes from a region known for producing some pretty good bucks.
My question is…where was this buck shot? I’m going to ask you to be as specific as possible. If you’re a truly astute observer with keen critical thinking skills, you’ll be able to not only identify the state, but the county.
I will give you only this hint: Look at my friend’s camo. If you can make a positive ID of the brand, you should be able to make an educated guess as to the whereabouts of this photo.
The person who comes closest to nailing the location will receive a free prize (nothing fancy, just a goody-bag of miscellaneous deer nick-nacks) from my hunting closet. I will identify the winner in Monday’s post, then ask you to contact the website with your contact info, and I’ll ship the prize to your door.
Any takers?

that is a big buck
cook county illinois
Kent County, MI
buffalo county wisconsin
Thats "Sleeping Indian" Camo, so I'm going to say Montana, "Wind River" area.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Which would be Teton county, Wyoming
Teton County, WY
Wish i knew. Nice buck. I'm guessing big O nailed it.
Pike County Illinois?
That is a very nice buck, but sadly I have no answers that haven't already been said.

Milk River near Harve Montana
steve182 -- that antler tag doesn't look like an illinois tag. btw, from a guy that owns private land in pike county, the outfitters have devastated the county and bucks like these are very hard to come by anymore; use to be run of the mill 15 years ago.
All the good answers are taken so I'll say Johnson Co Kansas. That's where my crab claw buck came from
Grrr... I think deerhunter125 has it right. The green antler tag indicates Wisonsin and buffalo county is famous for big deer.
This wisonsin buck has a similiar looking tag:

Macon County Missouri
I have no clue where it was taken but that is a nice buck.
mondovi, wisconsin
Idaho, Custer County
The answer to the question in somewhere near Winona, MN. The camo pattern shown on the hunter is Bob Fratzke's Winona Camo System. I grew up wearing Fratzke's camo and was sad to see it go. Great buck by the way.
or Flathead county Montana.
Winchestertonville Iowa.
I am going to say Owen County, Ky.
It looks pretty warm and green for anywhere too far north.
His gear looks like if comes from The Knit Tree, so I'm guessing that he's somewhere in Shasta County, California
Butte montana region
I don't believe for a second that anyone that hasn't been right there could identify the county.
Where the camo is made has no bearing on where it is. You could take camo from Mexico to Africa if you wanted to.
Green tag looks like Wisconsin. I agree with Buffalo County
The greeen tag does me wisconsin boys but sorry to say the camo pattern was only made in one spot in western wisconsin. TREMPLEAU county wisconsin Congrats to me...
I don't think the horns are dark enough for a wisconsin deer.I'll say Keokuk Iowa.
usmcturkey, I doubt thats Custer county, Jefferson maybe and might I throw in a Thank You for serving our country.
I agree that the camo patrern really doesn't identify a location, but that the location of the tag precludes Missouri. Other than that,I have no clue.

I think it was shot in the chect, lol.
Excuse me, I think it was shot in the chest, :)
Buffalo County, WI just south of Gilmanton off of Hwy 88. Your buddy was sitting in an oak, about 20 feet up, on the hillside of one of the many beautiful valleys. It was about 3pm with a slight breeze coming from the southwest.
It's just a guess.......
Jerry A,
Look at that tag again, Mo has gone to a yellow tag, and from what I see I wouldn't call that color green.
white river ,lyman county south dakota
iam wondering if that guy wants his hunting spot gave out to people,lol
Winona county MN
Houston county MN
I believe it is Winona Minn. I grew up as well with the net type Winona Camo and really did like them. Good buck.
Land O' Lakes Florida of course. haha. I wish
I couldn't tell if it was green or not seeing to it that I'm color blind so that don't help. Neither does never hunting in Wisconsin. But man that is a nice buck.
Stafford, Connecticut!!! That's my sweatshirt and that's my bow and I want them back!!
I do not know about the tag colors in states other than New York, but they change color every year.
idaho, idaho county
wish I could say buffalo county which is probably a good bet but I'm going to have to go with price county, WI hope I'm right.
im going with amish country in ohio
I agree with the Sleeping Indian camo, My guess is the deer was taken in Montana near the Charles Russell Wildlife management area.
its in Emigrant Montana ,in Yellowstone county
bayfield co. wi, (nice buck)
Whitehall in trempealeau wisconsin
could also be around monroe county wiconsin where the bow is made
Buffalo county, Wisconsin
Tags all wrong wasnt killed in Idaho. We dont use metal tags.
That is deffinatly Winona Camo which was made at the former Winona Knitting Mills in Winona, MN. I have the same hat given to me by Bob Fratzke when i was a kid. It was pobably near the Winona Archers range just south of Fountain City, WI in Buffalo County where this deer was shot. Or in Winona County, MN.
iowa lol
