Idaho Among best Places For Hunting

People who live here probably already knew this, but Outdoor Life magazine's September issue lists Idaho among the top five best states to go hunting in the West.

Idaho scored well with its nine big game species, lots of access on public lands that cover two-thirds of the state, and about 20,000 big game tags available to nonresidents at a reasonable cost.

The other top states were Montana, noted for a combination nonresident elk-deer tag for $643; Colorado, noted as the top state for elk; Alaska, despite the cost of travel, scored well for its 12 big game species, lots of public land open for hunting; and Wyoming, noted for the number of nonresident antelope tags.
