Kansas but my other passion is my string of bird dogs. Georgia my home now is a good bowhunting state has deer, hogs and bear all plentiful on public land.

Unfortunately quail have dissappeared

Back home to South Texas.

Hunting abounds and the looks I get as that "bowhunting guy" are priceless. Everyone knows when I am in town as I am the only bowhunter anyone ever sees.

I believe either back home in WV or the Grayling,Mi area.

Wyoming!!! I worked there through the 90's and left because of a family situation, and have missed Wyoming every day since I left.  God willing, I will return there.

The lakes and rivers of North Idaho bear mentioning for those who like fishing and water sports. Also, when I lived in Cd'A, there were 4 ski mountains 40 minutes or less from my door, not to mention endless miles of cross-country ski and snow machine trails. Idaho is an outdoor playground!! I may move back if my ex ever leaves there!   :D   Still need to make it back up to Riggins for the steelhead/chukar cast & blast float trips!!

If I had only one choice it would be back to Korea.  It is deffinately the most beautiful place I have ever been.  Well, now that I think of it, I have loved Hawaii each time I have visited, but Korea is so much more affordable.  I'm hating Michigan winters more and more every year, so Alaska is out of the question.  I lived in New Mexico and Texas for 2 years, and found plenty of things to hunt, but being a white male, there is no work for the majority there, or I would have stayed.  Washington State is on the list, I spent a week there when I got out of the Military, and would love to return one day.  Tennessee, Kentucky and West "By God" Virginia have always been a great place to visit, and I could see myself living there.  The weather is fair, and hunting opportunities abound.  I guess if the Lottery ever pans out, I've got some big decisions to make.  Till then, I'll keep my dreams and 9-5 going strong.

Heck I have live in VA, WV, TX, AK, KS (Twice), AZ, Plus Korea, and Iraq. I have love every state each offered different Opportunities to Hunt all kinds of game. I think next to AK KS has the greatest opportunity for hunters, more land and less draws. You want to hunt by an Archery tag pick an area and check the walking hunting guide for land, Google maps sat view, ground scout to confirm and start hunting.
Besides I am just TIRED OF MOVING.

I've lived and hunted in KS, FL, MI, TX and OH. I've hunted WY, ID, MT, GA, and NE. I currently live in Kansas again but, things have changed alot since I was here last. From 1978 to 1986, I got permission to hunt almost every place I asked about. In fact, I can only recall being denied permission once in all those years. Now I'm back and all the places I used to hunt are lease up, mostly by outfitters and the owners of most of the property that isn't leased won't give permission to hunt. I don't know what happened but, something has changed for the worse. I have been hunting on public land which I have found frustrating because everyone else is hunting there too. There isn't very much land allocated to public use here.

Out of everywhere I've been, I liked Idaho the best. The hunting was spectacular, the scenery was beautiful and the people were the nicest I've ever encountered. I don't know what it's like to live there but, I think I'm going to find out in a couple years as the wife and I both think we need to find a better place for our boys to grow up.
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

Somewhere warm, perhaps southern Arizona, or south eastern California.  So I could ride my motorcycle all year.  Hunting is secondary
