My wife, 2 boys and I are moving out west. We currently live in Ohio and want to experience everything life has to offer. We are avid outdoorsmen that love to hunt and fish. My wife loves hiking and enjoying the outdoors. We are currently set on Utah right now but we're not sure that is where we need to be. We have been contemplating Montana or Wyoming. So my question is, For a conservative family with 2 boys looking to move west where would you recommend? What State or even towns? My boys also enjoy sports such as baseball and football. Thanks.

Casper, WY as is about to get easier for residents to have another fraction of the tags and have some infrastructure for health and culture.

Colorado Springs, CO has a bit more infrastructure than Casper if you like to fly places or need a specialist doctor. CO is not as dependent on one or two boom/bust industries. Plenty of fishing opportunities and hiking trails nearby.

Santa Fe, NM, if want a simple life and hate scraping snow and ice off your vehicles and sidewalks.

Out of those I would lean towards Colorado Springs if have a few decades of working left to do.

Alaska is a bad state for baseball and football. Utah sounds like a great idea though.

Seriously, you all are suggesting Utah?

Utah sucks. The hunting opportunity isn't that good. The cost of living is getting higher by the day. The pay is low. People are flocking here. Go somewhere else.
And the game numbers just keep going down and down

Hawaii is kind of like living on another planet in a way. It is definitely a beautiful place though. Cost of living is very high plus it would suck knowing your vote would never matter.
Personally, with a family I would stay mainland so you can just hop in the truck & have tons of options for things to do within a reasonable drive. Good luck whatever you decide!
