Where would you guys live ?
« on: July 26, 2008, 01:52:00 PM »
If you could chose any location in the 48 states by abundance of game, small and large, moderate climate , good hunting regulations,close to mountains, sparse population. where would it be ?

That is a very hard question. I shall think about it and post back....later

Probably Northern Idaho because of the milder climate, otherwise that 49th state.  Loved them both.

But it is out of the 48 states??? I live in Alabama,it's pretty nice right here. Sometimes it gets hot during the summer but I can deal with that. Plus we have plenty of game around here to.

You might want to rethink Alaska, we've had our coldest summer on record only 7 days over 65 degrees. Every mourning I wake up to 50 degrees and drizzly rain and I don't even live on the coast. A student of this "climate change" told me we're supposed to get colder and wetter here. The long winters aren't so bad if you've had a good summer. Plus we don't have the small game like you do in the lower 48, sure there's places here where there are a lot of ptarmigan or hare's, but it's not in everybody's back yard.
It' a good place to come shoot big stuff though !

I've been asking myself this question...
South Central Missouri - deer,turkey,fish,hogs..
ice storms and tornadoes seem to be the down side.
There are no hills like the Rockies but, the Ozarks are pretty just the same.
I will be following this one though...

Montana!!!!  They have every big game animal.  And the trout fishing is second to none.  I envy the people that live there (and can afford to)

There is no perfect place but I'm looking at the midwestern states.  Here in Wyo we have a good variety of game and decent, but not great fishing IMO. There is lots of public land and generally little competition for hunting area. I seldom see another hunter during bow season and if I hunt the last couple of weeks in rifle season the same is true.
   The down-side.  Winter is long and windy. Winter I enjoy but the relentless wind gets old. It's expensive to live here. Unlike most of the country Wyo is in an economic boom and the local economy,(housing, etc), reflects that. Bow season is short compared to the states east of us. We basically get the month of Sept. to hunt.
     Wyo has been good to us but I'm looking for a new place to go, just haven't figured it out yet. I'll be interested to read some of the posts on this thread.

I'd move back to the hill country of Texas....and I will just as soon as my place here sells. I moved there in 1994, bought 682 acres of the prettiest deer infested hills you've ever seen....beautiful crystal clear, cold, pristine river....lots of exotics, turkey, hogs, javelina, bob white quail...I let an unappreciative woman talk me into selling out and moving back to East Texas. Now the ranch is gone and so is the woman...man....I've kicked myself a thousand times. It amazes me what a man will do trying to make someone else happy

Just buy an Earthroamer and call it home. Drive it to whatever state suits your fancy. No one state has it all the entire 365 days. Get you one of these rigs and spend time where you want to. Life is short--
