For what its worth, we have hunted Colorado, Wyoming and Montana in the last ten years. We've had some tremendous trips to each state. We have found a place in central Montana that works well for us. The timeline and seasons works for us, licenses are quite available, its not that far from here, relatively speaking, nice cabin and trespass fee, all in line with expectations. Nothing wrong with any of the states, we just don't need to travel farther, we aren't afraid of the cold or the bears, the elevation is lower which is good for us.
All these things are considerations, you have to decide what is important or not, to you.
