Well Sis, I'm waiting on the lottery to come through! I'm going to buy the Medicine Bow River Ranch & relocate all of our family! You are going to be in charge of hunting & fishing. I'll handle the cattle, no scratch that I'll hire some one to do that. I'll tag along with you & be your camera man.
Since I've been in all of the lower 48 at one time or another that is a hard choice. It would certainly be west of the Mississippi. The PA game commission has decimated the whitetails here. I'm thinking I could learn to handle cattle and shack up at that Medicine Bow Ranch until the owners get tired of me and then move on to southern Colordo around Ouray. Hunting opportunies are waaaaay better than what's in PA.

I'm not sure I believe 1 place has it all, so I'd either need a few places, or to move periodically.
I'm pretty sure I'll either end up in IL or CO. Other states are great/have their perks, but to live in forever.

If you don't mind being a ranch hand we can take you in. Maybe you could be over wildlife sensus? I just hope your not a competitive sportsmen. These days my #1 little Sister is awful hard to beat! LOL (Aint that right Jen!)
I am flatered by the offer but I must confess my counting skills are limited by the number of digits on my hands.

Correct you are, my mistake. We do have landowner tags, but there are conditions such as animal use days. And as Drelk stated, they are not for sale or transfer. You have to have a pretty good chunk of ground to qualify.

So, eberle... Oklahoma doesn't make your top two?!? I just landed in Tulsa a few hours ago, felt like I arrived in the 7th circle of hell, several fires in the distance, Arkansas river was non existent... When was the last time it rained here!?

2007 was the last year we had above average rainfall. 2011 was the worst drought in the history of OK. If we don't get some rain this year it will be the 5th consecutive year in the drought. We have reduced our cattle herd by 40% over the last four years. I'm tired of the hay shortage & low to dry ponds! So no, Oklahoma does not make my top two. Wyoming is a redneck state similiar to OK. Heck it's name speaks for itself "The Cowboy State". Plus it was the home to my hero & greatest cowboy to ever live Chris Ledoux!

Having lived in MT, AZ, WY, NV and now ID, I probably would go with Montana, although Idaho is a great place with all the public land, especially being close to the Tetons, the Park and WY. Every place has had its' goods and bads. I can hunt bears otc in a couple of weeks, steelheading this weekend, otc elk & deer every year. Variety and checking out new places is my thing, but Idaho will be my home for next 5 to 10 yrs.
