I think Wyoming, because the state has so much to offer as far as variety goes and there are lots of critters there too!

LAST EDITED ON Oct-05-10 AT 02:25PM (MST)[p]I would choose Montana. Of course that is where I grew up so I'm biased a little, but the resident hunting licenses are still very reasonably priced and you can buy OTC tags for most animals. Also it is a bit harder to hunt as a nonresident than quite a few states.
They have huntable Mule Deer, Whitetail, Elk, Moose, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, Bison, lots of upland and migratory birds, trapping opportunities, good fishing, etc...
Potentially have the opportunity to hunt wolves again and maybe grizzlies.
Makes me home sick just thinking about it! ;-)

If I were going to choose a place to live on hunting merit alone, it would have to be British Columbia. Three types of sheep to hunt, along with mule deer, blacktail deer, grizzly, black bear, caribou, two types of moose, elk, etc., etc., etc.
Montana would be next on my list.

My heart bleeds for Smithers BC.
The largest steelhead on Earth dwell there with 30lb plus fish caught yearly.
The scenic beauty is second to none, it teems with wildlife.
Availability of tags would have to rate #1 in my decision.
Abundant trophies mean little if you can't ever hunt them.
Alaska & Montana are way high on the list.

I haven't hunted them all, but from what I've seen I'd go Wyoming.

I would say Colorado, Idaho or Montana. The reason I would not include WY because it's REAL hard to draw a sheep, mtn goat and moose.
Here in Colorado I've drawn 2 sheep tags and a mtn goat tag. Guys seem to whine about the long odds on a WY sheep draw.
But I've been applying for over 25 years fro a Colorado moose. I drew a WY moose in 8 years.

UTAH!! Hands down the best hunting opportunities for the lower and middle class american. You can hunt yearling bull elk every year and rifle hunt muleys every other year for 3-5 days depending on the unit. Its amazing!

Alaska
Montana
Colorado
Wyoming
Idaho
The rest don't rank with me, nor would I ever consider living there...
Right now AK is at the top, something about getting to hunt sheep, moose, goats, griz, etc every year has its appeal. I can still go south to get my elk/deer fix. I suppose once I have a pile of moose and sheep heads in the garage to match the deer/elk pile I'll head back south. Until then you guys keep dreaming about hunting the 'big 3' and I'll keep hunting them every year.

...I almost ended up in Alaska about 5 ago and would go there if things were different and I was younger..Alaska third then no where else, what would be the point.
Utah near dead last. Would almost chose California, Serbia, Mexico City over it.
Hunterharry that pic is absolutely beautiful, WOW, and I live just down the road from BC and never been there. I am missing out.

grew up in NV, but now live in WY, its great, but Montana has more diversity I believe. Idaho has lot of hunting opportunity and manages wildlife a lot like WY, but loses out on quality, partly because of a far larger population. If I were wealthy? British Columbia would be the dream. guess I was born in the wrong country, but on the bright side Im actually luckier than most, just living where I do.
