There is lots of public land for hunting. Some is overcrowded but if you scout and are willing to walk, you can find some good ground with little pressure.
The bad news is in the north part of the state The Game and Fish have discovered an outbreak of CWD ( Cronic Wasting Disease ) in the deer and elk herds.
Major changes to hunting rules will go into play this year.

Fishing can be great, state wide , depending on what you like.
