    I guess this needed to be done...

    Louisiana

    - government corruption
    - too much "conservative values"
    - lack of big game diversity
    - the landscape
    - school system is...lacking
    - redneck culture
    - the summers

    Nothing. Texas is the greatest. Lots of fishing, great hunting of all types and generous seasons, and overall good laws. As for our country. I hate the guy running it but that's another discussion.

    Our Governor

    Good idea!

    1. Love/hate relationship with winter, particularly ungodly amounts of snow, over 6 months of the year... Love the cold for ice fishing, but also hate commuting during the winter. "Don't live here if you hate winters."
    2. Nothing beats the feeling of -30 below with -60 below windchill on your face in January at 5:30 am as you head to the gym
    3. We are the state of "Hipsters"
    4. Mosquitoes as big as birds
    5. I am not racist one bit... But the amount of Somali's that have moved to St. Cloud, MN is honestly out of control. Highest concentrated population in the United States. It's sad that my mom can't take her dog for a walk without the Somalians yelling at her, running away, and screaming because they hate dogs.
    6. Our highway system is absolutely wack
    7. Road salt eats your car.
    8. Road construction - It's really never ending
    9. Taxes. They are high, and lots of our politicians want them even higher.

    Everything but their College Basketball team and my family. Neither are a big enough draw to keep me living there...

    Not a lot of wildlife diversity

    What? I know St. Paul/Minneapolis has a strong hipster population, but I don't think many people associate Minnesota with the hipster culture.

    Haha exactly my thinking... Anyone who thinks this has obviously never left their state to visit California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, or a handful of other states...
