« on: November 12, 2010, 06:30:00 PM »
curious to see where a lot of people would move to if they had the chance and how much does your traditional shooting play in such a move? myself..i think i'd like to move to kansas and try for a big buck.

I like it right here in Oklahoma.  Great deer hunting, turkey, antelope, bear, elk, pheasant, quail, coyotes, bobcats....and really nice people.  I can't think of anywhere else I'd like to live although I do love visiting lots of places...and thinking Alaska next.

There's a lot of places I would like to visit (to hunt).  

I like the friends I have made here in NY and the different opportunities available. I wish the deer herd was bit larger, but there is great fishing and beautiful landscapes  not to mention Great traditions and history.  

With that being said, one day I would like to move back to WI for family reasons.

I would move closer to where I hunt, but that's still in Iowa. I don't think I'd have a prayer of getting the wife any farther from the grandkids than we already are.

Some place where they manage the deer herd and natural resources the right way......At some point I'll move south to be near my daughter,maybe western North Carolina or southwestern Virginia.

I think I'd move to Montana. I always told my wife that we were going to move to Montana someday and live in the unabombers shack. Then she showed me a picture of them hauling it away on a truck and said good thing you weren't in it ALONE!! LOL

Somewere on the  upper great lakes, or coastal Alaska. Bowhunting in the fall and winter, sailing big water spring and summer. And not too many people!

I could not imagine not living with in "bugg'n" distance of at least one of my two children and my grandsons. Kentucky is just fine with me but if son and daughter (she's in England) wanted to uproot and go west (Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Montana...) My wife and I would be right behind them.

I've lived and hunted in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, and now Kentucky. I have to say, Kansas was the worst 3 years of deer hunting since I started back in 1969.  I know, that's weird but my area was totally leased up and the herd hammered due to rancher complaints (north of Wichita).

I reckon I'll be parked in Kentucky for the remainder. My daughter will likely settle in the pacific NW in 1.5-2 years which will cause us to make a decision. If I don't move I reckon she'll have to put up with me a couple weeks each September.

If I can't move to Manhattan with Izzy, I guess I'll have to stay right here in Wyoming.

Hey Izzy, you would have to hunt, just to get to the Bronx Zoo, but that was a good one, LOL.

Kansas is nice but like Missouri it gets too many twisters, Alaska I imagine would be great, at least up until the ground starts to shake, Montana beautiful to say the least, that is the western half but unfortunately no ocean, now the upper great lakes, lets see, beautiful, good hunting, sort of has it's own ocean, good fishing in summer and winter, but bad cold winters and less people around, this sounds like the place !

This might sound funny but N.J. would be a pretty good place, if it weren't so corrupt and polluted and crowded, and expensive, Oh and lets not forget about the great firearm laws they have here. Oh yeah, and the stinken liberals.

I would love upstate N.Y. but the gun laws suck just like N.J.

I'll buy a camper and just travel to where I want to live for that season.

I moved to Wyoming about 19 years ago from Nebraska. I was 22 or 23 at the time. I really got bored with whitetails and turkeys. Now I have many species of big game to hunt, and love it. Very quiet here, not even a stoplight in the small town I live in. Almost half the state is public land, and a small population of around 500,000 people statewide is really sweet. I wouldn't change a thing, I love where I live right now. I feel sorry for you guys back east.

If you are young, love to hunt, not tied down to some sweet thing, head west!

PS: I was tied down to a sweet Nebraska gal, but left her for Wyo, best thing I ever done.
