So Ellsworth, where Wild Bill Hickock once roamed and locals insist they know more about Wyatt Earp than his biographer does, promotes itself as "the wickedest cow town in the West." Prowers County, Colo., appeals to bird watchers with its 400 species. Atwood, Kans., tells hunters about its bountiful wild turkey, pheasant and deer.
