I moved to Wyoming in 1977 for the hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities that we have. Montana and Idaho would be similar, and are great places. Colorado has gotten a bit overpopulated for my taste, at least along the front range, but western Colorado is still pretty nice. We snowbird now in Arizona, which is great for three months but hard to draw a tag to hunt anything. I guess I'm pretty happy in Wyoming.

Utah has tough draws but I think there are 10 species of big game that call it home.

Have to give my 23 cents to the Rocky Mt. states and Alaska.  Quite the variety.  Certainly helps to be a resident.  In Alaska, a NR's options certainly get better if you have relatives that live there (Take note my Brother-in-Law!).

Texas has a lot of hunting year round, but only if you have money.
Ask me about CTO.

I thought Texas is a country? I like Wyoming the best. Although it is getting messed up with oil and gas and other things.

I will throw Iowa into the mix.  I can hunt whitetail, tree rats, bunnies, groundhogs, turkeys, coons, pheasants and yotes out my backdoor.  Bobcats in southern part of the state as well!  I think the season is pretty long(October 1-mid January).  We can not hunt with a stick and string for about 3 weeks in early December during shotgun season.  Coyotes are hunted year round.  
If you are not blessed with land, not much for public land if put up to other states.
My landowner tags are over the counter and very cheap.  I think resident tags are around $25-28 each.  Non-resident whitetail is a loto and cost a lot!
Good state to hunt if you are already here. My hubby is a mountain climber and dreams of Colorado.  Maybe someday!  I think I will keep my timber in Iowa for eery Novemeber no mater what!

TX is an awesome state to hunt....but you have to either own land or lease.

Variety of game, long seasons, and doesn't get TOO cold most of the time.

How about Nebraska or Missouri. Deer, turkeys, small game, fishing galore (especially MO). Pronghorns and draw elk (NE). Plus eastern, western and Canadian hunting is only a 12-16 hr drive from where I live in SW MO. Right in the middle of it all.
