Michigan, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania are all friendly to hunters and have many places for shooting. But they're not friendly to gun owners, the first concern of the OP.
The Second Amendment isn't about hunting; it's about the right to keep and bear arms. Alaska and Arizona both recognize the constitutional right to carry concealed but they both require that anyone carrying immediately notify the police in the event of a traffic stop; that rather obviously vitiates the right. I'd rather be in Nevada where vehicle carry isn't even addressed in law and where there's no police notification. There's no mention in the Wyoming code either plus we're not required to have the hated government permission slip to carry concealed on our persons.
Hunters can find hunting grounds all over; those of us who seek freedom have far fewer choices.

The game in Alaska is bigger and more abundant. As far as fishing is concerned, it is hard to beat Alaska's world-record size salmon, halibut, and crab. Which means you spend less time hunting and fishing and reap greater rewards.
Alaska is indeed big, and we like it that way. Where I live it is a 7 hour drive to Fairbanks, 7 hours to Valdez, and about a 5 hour drive to Homer. The North Slope is about a 16 to 18 hour drive, but it is a great place for hunting Caribou in August because nothing grows taller than 3" there. Which makes the Caribou very easy to spot and shoot. The North Slope is not as bad as you make it out. Interior Alaska is far colder with a lot more snow than the North Slope.
While you can hunt black bear in both Wyoming and Idaho, you cannot hunt grizzly. In Alaska grizzlies and brown bears are not endangered (they out number the people living in Alaska) and can be hunted. The same is also true for wolves. There are also not many Musk Ox in Idaho or Wyoming, although all three States allow buffalo hunting. Wyoming does have a lot of Elk and Antelope, which Alaska lacks, but Alaska has Reindeer, which Wyoming and Idaho lack.
Actually we were considering Alaska for a while but have ruled it out due to the extreme elements and high prices....we are also into classic cars and drag racing as well as hunting and fishing and require a state that believes in ones constitutional rights. Being retired one has to think about getting the most bang for ones buck and the ability to make ones money go as far as possible...So...Northern Wyoming and the Panhandle of Idaho are looking better every day...

I heard that in Alaska if you are over 60, you can hunt and fish for free. But a local will have to confirm that.

That is true. At age 60 the Alaska Department of Fish & Game issues you a free hunting and fishing license for life. At age 65 you can have someone proxy hunt and fish for you.

Minus that whole handgun registration thing that affects 75% of Nevada residents perhaps.

How does that vitiate your right more than having to get a government permission slip?

Wyoming has laws in place that they can manufacture arms, to be used inside of the state and the federal government has no say so. That means silencers and such.
It also has laws in place that if a federal agent comes in and trys to arrest a Wyoming Resident that has a firearm that is illegal elsewhere, but made in Wyoming, the Federal Agent will be arrested and prosecuted.
