Some great areas in New Mexico are:

* Units 34 and 36 in the Lincoln National forest.
* Unit 55 produces monster bulls and excellent rutting action.

Best chance of a royal plus bull : Nevada. BUT, its a lotto state be prepared to apply many times.
Best chance of scoring a tag in a good area : Arizona or Colorado.

I believe Kentucky is the best. But Im a little biased.... You do have to be drawn for the hunt so good luck!

I was going to say kentucky with a high success rate but it is a draw hunt,but since colorado has no draw and it is pretty state and as soon as I can talk JM into guiding us there to meet his family,well-------

I would say Colorado for three reasons.
1. No drawings for tags
2. I have family there.
3. Amazing looking state.
