[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1116870, member: 30902"] Well you certainly left that wide open. In most of the Western US (which sounds like what you'd enjoy) you have to apply for licenses through a public lottery system to hunt public land, (gov't owned land) Each State has different game laws and seasons. There are millions upon millions of acres available but it can take you years of trying to draw a tag. You also need local knowledge to be successful more often than not at least with respect to having a good chance of getting a nice trophy mule deer or elk. Most of our big game will move down out of the high country once the snow begins to fall to the lower elevations where food remains easier to acquire. In most of these states you can hunt private land by buying a landowner tag. They are generally available through outfitters. Alaska has probably the most to offer as far as number of species and lack of having to go through a lottery to get the tags for most species. They also have some of the most rugged wilderness country left of the planet. To get to those truly wild areas usually requires a small plane and unless you want to really risk your life you need to hire an outfitter to take you. Your budget will also largely dictate what kind of experience you can have here. [/QUOTE]
