What would /out/ consider the best state for fish and game?
I live in maryland right now the fishing is great so is the hunting but there's just to many people and i want a change of locale.
Too general of a question. What kind of fishing are you into? What types of hunting are you interested in?
>>695537
In Maryland i fished crab and rockfish a lot and i hunted a lot of geese and deer
>>695532
Texas, no question.
>>695532
Not saying it's the best, but in my experience, I've always had the most opportunity and the most interesting, diverse, large catches in Michigan, both peninsulas.
>>695532
Washington is great for waterfowl & fish. There's also decent deer & elk. For upland bird your best bet is the midwest. Hogs are best in Texas.
I'd say the most versatile is porbably here in Washington state. Canada goose, duck and grouse are great all around. Snow goose is available in the North. There's some chuckar and pheasant in the southeast. The land is pretty crowded with hikers and such for deer but there's still plenty of opportunities and abundant game. There's some elk herds in the Olympics. There's a huge variety of fishing opportunities (ocean, lake, river), with exceptional salmon and crab. Most lakes are stocked with trout. There's plenty of cougars and bears, but I'm not experienced with those so I'm not sure how the hunting is.
WA is a great /out/ state in lots of ways. There's a huge amount of national and state park, a variety of climates, and mild weather.

Wyoming without a doubt

you are going to miss scrapple when you move.
Louisiana, state motto is "sportsmans paradise"
Alaska. We have a lot of fish and game and a resident hunt and fish license is only $48.
Maine.
Prove.
Me.
Wrong.

No mountains.

i dont think u got the point of the thread there m8
Canada

Pretty much this. Hunting in Ontario is suberb, fishing laws are pretty tight but eh fuck it.
I'll go out on a limb here and say that Floridas fishing is so far ahead of any other state that it makes up for its mediocore game hunting. She's #1 in my book
Rub' al Khali

kek
>>695904
Florida fishing is indeed God tier. Everything else /out/ related is shit tier though.
>>695532
South Dakota m8
Best of both worlds. Excellent glacial lakes, reservoirs, and trout streams.

I knew you were going to say that.

I really want to go to the Dakotas for a pheasant hunting trip. South eastern Mn fag here. Tfw there is so little small game to hunt

And the fishing speaks for itself
Unfortunately we're full
Montana, indubitably.

Fuck u, my post took forever to load.

Well mine was more thorough anyway :^)

dw, weed isnt legal so nobody's coming
>>695807
came here to post this.
Also, Massachusetts is like all of New England downsized. Cape for Fishing and the Berks for hunting. You're 2 hours towards everything, including civilization... and other states.
Additional point of consideration. Freshwater fishing is fun, but gets old quickly compared to saltwater.
OP is from MD, and probably smells like crab.

It's on the ballot for the next election. Probably has an outside chance of passing

South Dakota is great, especially where I am situated. I hate when out of state people cull everything out on opening day.
>>696097
>implying easterners don't know western mountains are bigger
>implying eastern mountains aren't still mountains
im partial to Wisconsin fishing cuz i live here. But Tennessee is a close second.
ITT: everybody mentions their own state, and one person trolls by mentioning the empty quarter.
Moving to minnesota soon. Anybody from around there? I'm hoping the walleye make up for the Somalians.
I was talking to a friend from Idaho who said that it was really nice in the northern part i was wondering what people thought about Idaho

You are literally a 4-6 hour drive away from South Dakota, what's stopping you?
>>695555
>Texas, no question.
Holy shit--don't you texas fags ever stop?
You guys don't even crack the top 25.

This. Washington is full unless you'll vote red to balance out the communist cancer spilling into our state from the south.

Walleye is easily my favorite freshwater fish. Whitefish, crappie, perch, sm/lg bass are great, pike isn't bad either. Pike make for a fun fight too. You just gotta know how to filet a few of them right. Fishing is big enough in the state that opening weekend being mother's day weekend, mothers and children I think if the mom is there fish free.
As long as you don't live in some of the poorer parts of the twin shitties you don't really need to worry much about niggers, and actually the Somalis are supposedly having fair success integrating, it's the native darkies you need to mind, see: BLM tards. But the state is shall issue so you're free to defend yourself if you get stuck somewhere shitty.
BWCAW is an absolutely beautiful park and there's a smattering of other nice ones.

>almost zero public land, the state

>>696589
Wisco fag here; don't forget bluegil and perch. I have fond memories of fishing/eating both of those near Ripon, Wi. as a boy. Also wanted to thank you for teaching ctrl+F to me just now.
>>698733
It's quite nice. Used to live in Boise before moving to Kentucky, but I spent my summers in northern Idaho. What a fucking mistake it was, moving here.
I'm scraping pennies to get my ass up in the northern half of Idaho.
Anything specific you want to know?
>>700017
How much rain do they get up there?
>>700081
Not him but Coeur d'Alene averages about 25 inches of precip a year. The summers are nice and dry though
>>700081
Lemme get this out of the way
> place sucks, don't move there
It's great.
That anon is right, it doesn't rain much, but when it does, it's beautiful.
You'll get those days in fall where it's overcast and kinda chilly. Perfect flannel weather. In the summer you get the heat and fire season starts up, but if you're lucky, you'll have perfect weather for the entire season.
If you're outside of Boise, locals are nice. Especially in tourist towns like McCall and Idaho city. They despise Californians, though.
Which, if I'm being totally honest, I do too.
Take a vacation there and you'll see if you like it. I'd recommend you hit priest lake, McCall, Hell's Canyon and really any of the national forests.
Like I said, I'm still in love with the place.
>>700609
The Frank Church is pretty awesome. Middle Fork of the Salmon is one of the best float trips anywhere
>>695532
Wisconsin is one of the best states for fishing. Head on up to the Brule River sometime. It has amazing canoe/kayak route and some of ( if not the best ) trout fishing in the world.
>>695873
I was just about to come in and drop the downeast bomb. Maine is mostly wilderness guys, lakes for miles, mountains, and backwoods folks who don't give a shit about you.
It really is nice. The wife and I are considering taking jobs in Portland and moving up there from CT
>>696097
lol i bet you moved to denver 4 years ago for college from lincoln.
nice one
>>696328
i lived in the black hills for two seasons working for the federal government. it really is a magical place. of course every summer you get all sorts of faggots coming in from out of state on their way to yellowstone and clog up the roads. And dont get me started on Sturgis, every fat ass boomer dad on his fart cycle cruising around 40 deep, its maddening.
>>702086
Maine does seem pretty based, probably the only eastern state I'd really like to live in
>>695555
No. Fuck texas. That place is a spic ridden dirty shitty state
>>702230
>jealous
Pennsylvania has some of the best black bear hunting I've seen
Anyone from Tennessee?
>>696328
I grew up in the North Woods, and I'd bag hundreds of squirrels a year it seemed like. Now I live in south central MN, and I agree with you on the small game front. Plenty of rabbits, though.
I wish the fishing was better down here, most of the lakes turn to sludge if it doesn't rain enough. None of the crystal clear rock bottom lakes of my youth. Must be all the agricultural runoff.
>>698599
Oh, definitely, especially if you stay away from the twin cities/rochester. Nobody with a skin color darker than fair if you get away from the major population centers, with the exception of hmong. But they're cool.
>>695578
where at in Wyoming? I've lived here for 20 years, love it.
