Pa. is a state that has easy access for resident hunters. only thing on a lottery system is elk tags. this is because we only have a limited number of elk and tags for them.

One more thing about Wyoming. If you move here, you are not a resident for a year, as far as Game and Fish is concerned. It really interrupts your hunting, unless you're rich.

Your question is a fantasy.

Scratch Alaska off your list if you're looking for easy. There's nothing easy about hunting up here. There's a lot of opportunities in Alaska but they're expensive, time consuming, back-breaking, and/or require extensive logistics and preparation.

Montana because as a resident you can hunt big bucks for 5 weeks on a genenal tag almost statewide. No need for outfitters as a non resident, plenty of dandies on public land.

***There is no PP system for Wyoming residents for deer, elk, or antelope, but there is for moose and sheep. All my comments were for NRs.

***It doesn't really cause that much of a problem since you can still buy NR licenses until you have lived there a year to qualify as a resident. Being rich doesn't have anything to do with it since there are no outfitter sponsored tags in Wyoming nor are landowner licenses transferable.

The rich part has to do with the guide situation. You are a lot more experienced here than I am, but the general elk tags seem to be a good option for residents, but not an option I can afford now.

***The general tag is fantastic for residents since it's an OTC license and allows you to hunt in a number of units. NRs can do the same thing on their general tag, but it usually takes a PP or better to draw it and that means you may only hunt every other year or once every threee years for a bull. That is still much better than most of the other states, except for CO that has a bunch of OTC tags and Idaho has some on a first come first served basis. I'm still not really following you on your rich and outfitter comments, so please send me a PM to explain if you don't mind.

Wyoming does have a point system only for moose and bighorn sheep. Anything else there are no points issued, but it really isn't that hard to draw pretty much any tag you want (that is elk, antelope and mule deer of course) there are some exceptions to these for some areas which hold pretty good trophies in them but you should be able to draw within two to three years on some of the harder tags.
