Just Washington, Wyoming, and Montana for me each year. I have relationships that I have built with three different ranch owners and their families over many many years, one in each state mentioned. It has led to some great hunts over the years. When I loose the Washington ranch (rancher getting old and thinking about selling out), I probably will be done deer hunting here in Washington. But its been a great ride for sure! None of us getting any younger. Montana is in region 4 on a 11,000 acre ranch with landowner tags each year and western Wyoming is on a 8,500 acre ranch outside of Evanston. Never paid a dime in access fees and I have never been on a guided hunt in my life (maybe someday I hope for moose). Relationships, friendships, and lots of service are the key to successful hunting in todays world no matter what state you are hunting (just put a roof on the ranch house last month in Montana, they provided the material and we provided the labor). Access is key to it all and its not easy finding it anymore! Ranchers in Montana and Wyoming are excited to get apples, asparagus, halibut, and salmon every year.

You guys are stone cold killers! Great pics! I went to CO for late rifle elk in 2022. We were up at 8300' above Parachute. I couldn't breathe. It snowed 18" the day before we got there and the elk all migrated down into town. Of five of us, one muley buck taken. Because of a forecast of two more feet coming the next day, we ended up leaving after 4 days. However, I did get the opportunity to visit and say goodbye to a dying friend in CO Springs, an old Marine Scout Sniper. Then, broke two ribs falling on my Springfield .45 in Twin Falls on the way home. That last 600 miles driving was awesome!

My wife and I and a few friends always apply for Wyoming and Oregon each year.
I have applied for Montana and Idaho in the past. Hunted Montana a few times for deer.
Been applying in Oregon since the point system started. The hunting has always been great in WY up until the last hunt in 2022. The NE corner got hit hard by drought and blue tongue. Will give it a few more years before we return.
