Ok fellas, I might be facing some choices here as I have my wife talked into moving west possibly. I have been to wyoming in the past and loved it. Now if you had to pick one of the two states above to live in based SOLELY ON HUNTING which would it be? Thanks

Wyoming for me.  Lots of area too hunt and different critters.

As much as I love Idaho I'd have to choose Wyoming if hunting were the sole consideration.

Not to argue just wondering I have heard rumors about wolf kill in WY. Is this just rumors?

After the seasons are closed, you still have a lot of winter to get through. I wouldn't like that.  :(  

But, if hunting were the sole consideration and I could only pick between those two states, I'd choose Wyoming.

Another vote for Wyoming.

Living in Idaho (50 years) - Wolves ruining elk populations.  Mule deer  are suffering from drought.  Antelope are being managed for the ranchers, not the hunters.  Hate to say it, but Wyoming is the better choice.

north idaho is losing season fast...plus this year we went bulls only during bow season (unheard of before wolves)...lived here for 58 years and couldnt say id change but i cant recomend moving here either.

Southern WY...no wolves, no grizz, plenty of critters.

if your a fly fisherman ID has some world class fishing plus I think all the hunters from ID are trying to run all their wolfs over to us here in Oregon anyways  :(

Wyoming would be my pick

Idaho............it is to difficult to find housing thats affordable in Wyoming with all the gas workers....I just spent 7 1/2 weeks in Northern Idaho researching living there...I will live there 16 months from now!   hunting will make a comeback...

I should say finding housing period....when I was in Riverton and Lander checking it out about the only option of finding a place to live was in a campground for RV's where alot of the gas workers were living and putting year-round skirting around RV's...I could not find any housing and I was wanting to take a teaching job there a few years back...some towns like Sheridan you need alot of coin to buy a house...thats my take anyway..alot of afordable housing in Idaho and it is GORGEOUS

Cour D Alene Idaho.

If I had the chance I would head to Wyoming.

So if you guys pick Wyoming want towns/cities would you pick to live in?

Sorry to "hijack"  Panzer, why CDA

I wouldn't recommend CDA. Lots of people here and even more that come over from Spokane to crowd the woods and waters. There still is good hunting here but mostly on private property and the public land is becoming way to over run for me. There are some other great places in north Idaho to live and I hope to move there as soon as I can but work is hard to find.

Wyoming

I'm pretty happy in Buffalo, Wyoming, but I guess it would depend on where you could find work. Casper is big by Wyoming standards, but there is good hunting all around, and job opportunities are there. If you don't like wind, don't look to SE Wy, Casper, or the I-80 corridor.
