Default Best hunting state?

If you had to pick only one state to hunt in for the rest of your life which state would you be inand what would you be chasing? Why this state and which weapon would you use?

Quite honestly, I like Nevada just fine. When I go hunting, the chances of seeing another person are very slight. I can hunt lions and varmints all year round. Upland birds have fairly liberal limits and seasons. It may take a couple of years to draw a deer tag, 4 or 5 for a cow elk, 10 for an antelope, and who knows how long for sheep and goat, but I like my chances of being able to have a mountain all to myself. Next would probably be Wyoming, then Utah after that. I put Wyoming second because the wind CONSTANTLY blows there (have lived there before), and then Utah third because it seems like the whole state is growing. I am in a nice little corner right now that doesn't have a big population, and shouldn't get TOO big in the near future.

Weapons, I would use them all. I have a couple .30-06's,a couple 8mm's, a .223, a shotgun, a .22, and a .50 caliber ML. Soon, I will be adding a .357 that will primarily go when I am lion hunting. I also would like to get a bow, but not sure if I will have the time to use it, so not sure it would be worth it for me to spend $500 on a set-up that would collect more dust than anything.

Is Saskatchewan a state now? LOL

Why? Mulie's, Elk, Moose, Black Bear, Antelope, Waterfowl, Upland, Varmits....oh yeah I almost forgot not to shabby for whitetails either.


Weapon? It don't matter I have/use(Bow/ML, CF)them all. As long as I am hunting...I'm happy!

My first thought was: "You can't hunt if you can't get a licence". Even though I live in Cheyoming, I would not pick it first because of the difficulty of getting nonresident tags. I like the idea of Sas or BC, but what do you have to do to get into Canada with a gun?
For ease of licencing, and ability to get on a multitude of game, I'd have to vote for Colorado. (Please forgive me lord . . . for saying that).
As far as a rifle? Even though I own many guns, If I were stranded on a desert island and could use one caliber for everything larger than a Cayote, .300 Win Mag!

I would have to say Alberta. Why because of the variety of game such as moose,elk,bighorn,goat,bear,caribou,antelope,white tail,mulies,buffalo,coyotes,wolves,cant count how many birds you can hunt and the list just keeps going on. There is just soo much land to hunt, and there are alot of animals, big ones at that.Can use just about any weapon.Plus were pretty much a true redneck province.
