Well since you included fishing…..That makes it a bit more difficult.
The main things I would look at are:
species diversity
quality of their wildlife management system (which includes seasons & bag limits)
Quality of the trout & smallmouth bass fishing
Some states in the running would be
Idaho-incredible species diversity & absolutely beautiful
Montana-self explanatory
Ohio-great deer and close to home but not sure about the fishing
Missouri- good deer/turkeys & smallmouth
PA- lacking in deer quality, but if I had enough land to manage I could deal with it. Excellent trout & smallmouth fishing
Wow Rybo I cant believe you said that, I honestly do not have an idea because i do not hunt in PA... but im looking for PA to be the new Illinois, Ohio, etc.... in about 4-6 years IMO!
I am just saying this based on all the good I have heard from numerous people from the state!!
As far as where I would move to, I have not a clue??? It would take some research, all I know is I need big trout!! Oh and big bucks would be nice as well!!
