Not GA, no one can move back to GA before I can get back!

I don't miss the late July heat, but otherwise my butt may be in California, but my heart and mind are in Georgia.  (Enter Willy's rendition of the song here)

Go DAWGS!!!!!!!

I would stay out of ILLinois. When the pigeons come home to roost and the tax increases are in place, it's not going to be nice.

How come nobody wants to go to New York...LOL. Since my daughter has moved to Ga. and I have gone to visit the last 3 years, I think its time look around down there a bit. Northern Ga., east Tenn., southwest Va., and western N.C. all seem nice. The mountains are nice and the hunting can't be to bad. I would love to move out west but the wife not to crazy about the idea.

I'm with hap on this one, rule IL out! The taxes and politicians are terrible and property is getting real hard to come by for the average guy looking to bowhunt!

Well I just ruled out IL  :(  no concealed carry law, that law saved my life 4 years ago and I wont live anywhere without it.

we were talking some more today and Missouri might be it. I'm going to go and check it out soon. Maybe a public land hunt or two and see what I see.

thanks for all the replies guys!

Wyoming has a 30 day bow season. yuck.

 One of the Dakotas. Probably South. Lots of public land. The most hunter friendly state in the nation. Waterfowl out the wazoo, pheasants, whitetail deer, antelope, mule deer, Elk, and turkey a plenty. If you buy all the tags (around 30) You can hunt from mid August to late Jan. There isn't another state that comes close. Plus if your in the western part your close to some other great Elk states.
Great people as well.
Happy Hunting

I wish I was more into the heat and humidity of the (deep) south, I remember a post last winter when some of you GA. boys went and shot some fish, birds and hogs in one weekend. That looked pretty awesome to me as I was below zero at the time. If I see apex get one more hog on a weekend hunt, I may think about moving anyhow. Huntin on a wim sounds good to me.
p.s. nice point Terry

Let me throw Arkansas in there.  Ozark and Ouchata National forests, Hobbs State Park (only state park allowing hunting, all 9,000 acres).  There are hundreds and hundreds of square miles of wooded hills and valleys that you can disappear into to hunt and fish (open to the public.  It's up to you to be able to get yourself in and out.)  Also, Stutgart is pretty much the waterfowling capital of the universe.  I haven't duck hunted much, but it's a big deal there.

I would say if your into Big whitetail Deer Southeast Iowa, and since non-residents can't hardly get a tag in Iowa but every three years as a non-resident bowhunter. It would be a great choice as a place to live.  You can hunt Northern Mo and the best part of Il and only have to drive less than a hour. Chad

I would be thinking IA.  Nice thing is you would be centrally located-good cities within hours, medical, airport access,and other good border states to hunt.  It is not too far from the west (12 hrs to WY, MT. or CO).  Whitetail (you could take two as resident)is probably the best in the world.  And- they are still keeping with management that includes mature animals and residents first.  On top of that, if interested, land is still somewhat affordable in rural areas.
