no public land
Texas has close to 900,000 acres of public land. Problem is it can be spread out.

huntable?

Idaho. It has the views/fishing/hunting/hiking of Montana/Colorado, but not the laws restricting outdoorsman, due to a lower volume of vistors, and a more conservative government.

Someone has to keep you in line. And, just fyi, I won't be in the room to throw you softballs come Wednesday. Bummer.
If it's one state, Cali would be up there. The blue water fishing, bass fishing, and the possibility of getting into blacktails, elk, mulies, etc... So much diversity. You can even trout fish, probably find some salmon, it just has a lot going for it. Are there gobblers over there?

yes they have a large Rio population in the northern part of the state

Cali also has the Squatch...

yes...you buy the $48.00 permit and you get a couple of books in the mail showing all the maps locations and rules for each public land section.

Just depends on what you want to do. If all you care about is bass fishing then not only will you be limited, but you'll be missing out. I'm sure there's some fool in Wisconsin that doesn't want to move and fish in Louisiana because he loves muskie fishing too much. It's all relative to what you're looking for.

Yeah I mean with Texas you can hunt most any birds and more of them than most places, some of the best Whitetail hunting in the world, Rocky Mountain critters like Desert Bighorn and elk, some of the best bass fishing around, a huge coast line for salt water fishing, exotics running wild, mountain lions and shite... I mean come on, where else do you have that kind of diversity in a single state? I mean you can hunt Scimitar horn Oryx on public freaking land!

Saltwater fishing: Louisiana
Freshwater Fishing(Bass): Louisiana
Duck Hunting: Not Louisiana
Big Game Hunting: Not Louisiana, probably Texas or a state with Elk and Mule also.

Texas, Florida, and California strongly disagree
and again, not much diversity for the freshwater fishing in LA
you have to consider more than just bass

I just don't think it's Texas because of the lack of public land.
Posted on 3/1/13 at 9:42 am to Salmon
New Mexico.

Lake Michigan / Lake Erie that whole area has a hell of a small mouth population as well...some really great bass fishing in the summer months.
Posted on 3/1/13 at 9:43 am to Salmon
I went solely on the fact that we have not only Toledo, but the entire marsh area for diversity. Added to the fact that the "best" Bassmaster classic was in LA(06-Red River), and hell the 2nd could be the Lake Cat with KVD.

New Mexico is definitely a sleep as it has some the best elk and mule deer in the country. It also has the only pure Merriams for turkeys.
I also think it is the only state which actually has a draw for Gemsbok

most of the great lakes in Texas will never be able to host a BMC because they are so remote. It's the reason Toledo has never held a BMC. Not enough infrastructure.

Excellent point.

True. I've never bass fished west of of LA. I've gone as far east as Bama, but other then that I'm limited to what I've seen on TV and personel experience.
