Tioughnioga's post made me realize I neglected reptiles and amphibians here in PA, as they're not regulated by the PGC, but PFBC (Fish and Boat). I don't have time to check right at the moment, but that would add, bullfrogs, snappers, and rattle snakes.
On top of that I think I neglected ruffed grouse and woodcock. I'm not sure how, I was going through the hunting regs for the initial list.
(see what happens when you don't give a full list, it's harder for people to dispute the facts).
But that brings me up to 26. I still suspect someplace with more variety of deer down south, or a that has moose, goats, and sheep would surely take the prize.

WILD TURKEY!
Whitetail deer
Black bear
Snowshoe hare
Cottontail rabbit
Pheasant
Ruffed grouse
Woodcock
Bobwhite quail
Gray squirrel
Fox squirrel
Coyote
Red Fox
Grey Fox
Bobcat
Crow
Snipe
Gallinules
Coot
Rail
Raccoon
Possum
Skunk
Weasel
Mink
Muskrat
Woodchuck
Canada geese
Various kinds of ducks
Snapping turtles
Frogs
... We have moose in the Adirondacks but not enough yet to warrant a hunting season.

I don't know the answer overall, here in PA the combined total of Big Game, Small Game, upland birds, and furbearers seems to come to 21.
That doesn't count any waterfowl or animals that can be trapped only.
It does include elk, which has an extremely limited lottery, and the bottom of the barrel on that list gets down to crows, possum, and skunks.
I know guys who've been applying for decades now just to build the preference points. Until recently, I wasn't sure I'd be able to take advantage even if I ran.

I'm just guessing, but I would say one of the western states. Montana maybe?

Yes JM, MO played a large role in starting my serious turkey hunting in more ways than hunting. As a teenager my FFA project had me involved trapping grouse in MN and then traveling to MO to exchange those grouse for turkeys. Which we drove back to Houston, MN to release those turkeys. So if you shoot a grouse in Kirksville, MO area it just might be a descendent of some transplanted MN grouse from nearly a half century ago, delivered by a small group of MN kids with freshly minted drivers licenses.

I know non-resident need guides but don't know how the regulations are for residents.
