Hi, I'm looking to relocate from Texas to either Colorado or Utah and would like some opinions and suggestions to which state and where in the state would you choose to live to hunt mule deer and elk. Thanks!

Elk has much bigger bulls, but tags are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get unless you buy them with a lot of money.

Colorado has better deer management and herds IMO.

So tough call, not sure I'd move entirely based on Deer and Elk myself.

Find the nicest town/people, that's more beneficial to ones happiness and they both have good hunting. :)

Are we callin Utah "Elk" now. I mean, I know some great bulls have been taken there this year, but I'm not sure we should rename the state "Elk." Jk Brett lol

Colorado's the place to be.
