RE: what state would you pick
For hunting AND fishing...Minnesota is a great choice.
MN hasover 3 million acres of public hunting land and over 10,000 lakes.
Although rarely mentioned as one of the big buck states for whitetails...there are only2 or 3that have entered more P&Y and B&C animals all time.
We also have bears, turkeys, grouse, geese, ducks, pheasant, etc.
