Montana would get my vote. A huge state with game all over the place and you can get all kinds of tags over the counter. My nephew lives near Bozeman and he puts six or seven animals in the freezer every year. The season is nice and long and when it is over you can shoot prairie dogs out as far as your gear will take you. Great for practicing your wind reading since it isn't calm too many days.

Colorado is great but expect to have to draw for almost every tag you want to get. I also here Wyoming is good for antelope and not bad for elk but never hunted there so cant say that for sure.

Quality of the herds in Nevada is very high. Tags are tough to draw, and everything is lottery. If you get an antelope, you wait 5 years until you can apply again. Elk are 10 years, bighorn are sometimes 15. Deer you can apply every year whether you kill or not.
I can say, if you draw a Nevada tag there is a good chance to have an opportunity at a quality animal. Some areas are harder than others, both to draw and to hunt, but there is a ton of public land statewide.

Montana is hard to beat.
Texas has a ton of opportunities, but it's mostly pay to play. You can kill a lot of game for not a lot of money, though, and we have the best quality of living.

How does MT look for public access to prime hunting areas?
It looks like a good chunk of land is owned by the government.
Not that I would move there, I heard it sucks

I would have to say that Montana is tough to beat. Way better than Idaho.... Even if it does indeed suck. It's nearly all wolves here... No game anymore.
I use to pop into ID no more than 8 yrs ago .Pan handle as near Mt for me,Same thing,bugled 8 bulls in one drainage,next season bugle-wolfs answer with howl.The elk where in the way,way back.I was already hunting a almost unhuntable area and also a no outfitting zone.Wolfs ruined that spot also.Here they are coming back some.Its just a shame to see.I use to shoot a 6x6 every year for years,worked at it but it was doable
