How this list is ranked

Ranked by huntable public land: USGS PAD-US national forest + BLM + state game lands/WMAs + state forest (unioned) intersected with the official unit boundary in an equal-area projection. National/state parks, military and permit-only refuges are excluded.

Data year: 2025. Each row links to its full page with every number cited to its agency source. A place missing a signal is never guessed — it simply can't rank.
