It's really hard to tell, since every state will have spots better than another. But since the question seems to be on the variety and quality of game hunted, I would have to say the Western Midwestern states would win.(Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana) My reasoning is because they have great whitetail, waterfowl, and pheasant hunting. In addition for ex. Kansas, since I'm familiar with it. Kansas supports huge Mule deer, antelope, and Elk. The are several B&C shot every year. Most people don't think of Kansas and associate elk but there are great numbers in N-C Kansas with a well established herd which monster elk are killed every year. Plus there are herds in SE Kansas also.

I think it's the variety of game that puts the western Midwest States in head of the eastern Midwest states. Just my 2 cents.
