Where to move
Is there a place where if I were to move there would be good populations of whitetails, Elk, bear, and turkeys. I figure the rockies is a good answer but how would it be living there. I would rather be in a more remote area. Different game animals are welcome as long as there is alot of opportunities.

If I could move anywhere it would be alaska ,do it while your young It's hard hunting but the best I've done .Think about it ,black and grizzly bear,moose, goats ,sheep, deer ,elk, muskox ,carabou and many others .That should take care of you for a couple of years.I've been there 3 times and I got a black bear a moose and a carabou all unguided ,being a nores. I'll need a guide for the goat,sheep and grizz

For the most part, it's very hard to go out hunting for the evening with much success like where i live now.

Also it's very expensive to hunt there, even when your a resident!!! You just can't drive to a good spot, not even with a 4 wheeler! Flying is the only way to get to decent spots, so that means it's always expensive, and has to be planned ahead...

Sounds like northern ID, eastern OR, and western Montana have everything you want.

RE: Where to move
I think where you live depends on you line of work? I have a mining back ground. I could live in several states, but Wyoming & Montana seem to pay the best for my line of work. If I did not mind working in a remote camp job & I do. I would live & Work in Alaska. I like to come home every night.
Deside whatYOU want out of life & make your move.

Last deer I shot I left at 08:00 and was back at home by 14:30. The one before that I shot on my lunch break, and goats are a day hunt too.
In the 25 years i lived in Alaska, ihunted Kodiak and the surrounding islands many times, so i understand that blk tails can be had there a bit easier, as can goats... But what about those "other" animials?? They take time and planning and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
