Too tough to choose.
While I'd LOVE to live in Idaho, montana or wyoming, I think the winters there could be a bit rough. They got it all for me hunting & fishing except I don't know if they have smallmouths out there. Can't live completely without them. For as crowded as PA is, we do have some decent hunting and REAL nice fishing.
I think Iowa or Missouri would be good for the total package, and not be too far to travel west. (or east)

Rybo, bring your fish pole when you come elk hunting, if you tag out early, I will take you down to Riggins, we'll jump on Robs boat and go small mouth fishing, you will be amazed! I took Pat Ely and Rocky down when they came to elk hunt.. we caught dozens of great small mouth bass, a few big sturgeon and trout.. all in a days jet boat ride.
