If you had the option to live in Lander, WY or Cheyenne, WY, which would you choose strictly from a deer/elk hunting standpoint?

I already hunt Colorado regularly and focus on easy-to-draw units that I’ve found to hold some extremely productive pockets, so proximity to CO is a real consideration. At the same time, Wyoming residency obviously opens up a lot of opportunity statewide.

Would close access to reliable Colorado tags influence your decision, or would you still prioritize living more centrally in Wyoming?
 
I can't speak to the colorado piece of this question, but for the sake of Lander vs Cheyenne, I am going with Lander all day.

I feel like the WY opportunities are superior to the CO opportunities but thats just my opinion.
 
Roger! I guess being able to have quality OTC tags in your home state is foreign to me. Always been chasing it as a non res in other states. Appreciate the feedback.
