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
W-T-F you forgot MI We have a few lakes around here and little fish.



Germ, where the heck are you from in Mi with such a little dockwhipper?

Alaska, British Columbia or Yukon.......Whitetails are great, but there's a lot more out there to see.

Texas Hill Country. Lots of deer, turkey and hogs, good bird hunting and big bass. Fishing and something to hunt year round.

Alaska hands down. But I would keep a second home in Colorado.

What is this, a LOCATION thread.[8D]

Wow, so many states to pick and it really depends on the species. I'd love a spot with plenty of elk, whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, black bear, turkeys etc...sorta narrows it.
