Well, I happen to know that Nevada has the highest percentage of public land of any state in the USA. They also have a draw system to limit the number of hunters in the field at any time. I would say Nevada is your best bet for a true solitude hunt, then Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Colorado. I have hunted all of these states, and if I could hunt ANY state in the nation, I would choose either Nevada or Wyoming first, then Montana or Idaho.
Oregon and Washington have some good areas and good draw hunts, but there are very few places you can go where you will not run into people. Despite the size of the states, they are both fairly heavily populated relative to Nevada or Montana. But that has both a good side and a bad side, trust me on that one.
