Tough question, and it all depends on what and how you hunt. Alaska has to be #1 if you are willing to spend the money for transportation/guides and such. For someone on a budget, I would opt for Wyoming for strictly big game hunts. However, I don't think you can possibly go wrong with choosing Idaho as the best place for overallhunting as a resident. Considering theavailability, quality, and accessabilty of hunting, you would be hard-pressed to do better.
