Our Methodology: How we determined the rankings
Months of research went into compiling our list of the top 200 towns for sportsmen in America. We started by combing through every population center in the United States with more than 4,000 people. We gathered comprehensive data on the overall quality of life the towns offered. Some of the factors we considered were the growth rate of the local economy, the unemployment rate, the degree of taxation, the time it takes to commute to work, the crime rate, housing prices, median household income and even the variety of cultural opportunities within easy driving distance.
Then we looked at how the towns stacked up purely from a sporting perspective (the grades for some of the categories are listed with each of our top 10 profiles). We rated them on the fishing and hunting opportunities each town offers, the trophy quality of the sporting opportunities, proximity to public land, the restrictiveness of the gun laws and whether the fishing and hunting is good year-round.
We put all this into a massive database and developed a formula that gives slightly heavier emphasis (60/40) to the sporting opportunities than to the quality-of-life rankings. -John B. Snow

Nice Pictures don't think i'll be moving anytime soon though
Well written with a lot of good information for a sportsman to consider if he/she is looking to relocate.
This is one of the great pieces you have done to facilitate the town's chamber of commerce in getting their town exposed for more growth and business expansion. I doubt that the local outdoorsmen were very excited to find you exposing their treasure and placing them on the map. Down the road they will be competing for rocks to stand on when the steelhead and salmon runs are in full swing. They'll also be looking for new places to hunt when they find their old haunt invaded by strangers. I know this from my own experience that this is a heavy personal price one pays for progress. Once the big money shows up, they'll buy your old haunts that you've hunted forever and privatize them. Then it's "Say-la-vee!"
Have lived in Marquette for 15 years but will relocate soon. Was a great town but now dominated by local university (with zero academic credentials) and too many students from urban areas (Chicago, etc.) that see us rural folks as "easy pickins." Sexual assaults and property crimes now exceed the national average. Still, though, a good area to visit and shop.
