    Where to move ie: what state

    thinking just pulling up stakes and moving somewhere. The wife and I are both tired of GA and the ATL area..

    she is a insurance agent with multiple designations and has a double masters in risk management and cyber security..I am self employed and buy and sell things so I can go anywhere, might consider activating my real estate license again..

    we are looking for a place where we can both do what we do. The area has to have great deer hunting and access to public land or I would lease private like I do here.

    We are mainly looking east of the Mississippi just not sure where, we are open to west of the MS but not past the Rockies..

    I was born in WI and could live there. She was born in GA and probably would not like long winters but would give it a try.. I am really leaning towards KY, just looking for suggestions..if you could move to any state which one would it be?

    states that are out of the question.. NC,SC,VA,WV,ME,NH,RI,VT,DE,NJ,NY,PA,MD,CT,MA, no offense to anyone who live in those states.

    There's not many places east of the Mississippi worth moving to. I could manage TN or western NC, but that's about it. There is no way I would want Wisconsin or Minnesota winters.

    A resident gets 2 buck tags over the counter and a landowner gets a third buck tag.

    Kentucky is a great place to live. Born and raised here. I can see lexington from my front porch. Not a ton of public land in central Ky, at least not compared to some other places. Also land prices can be steep in the central part of the state, especially around lexington.

    All of Kentucky or Iowa, parts of Ohio and Indiana or the southern half of Illinois.

    Come onnnn... Who likes a brown, cold winter? It's awesome being able to experience the 4 seasons to their fullest.

    We have some of the worst sports teams yet the fans are more loyal than ever. There is always hope for us Minnesotans ;)

    Iowa would be awesome too.

    Don't get me wrong. Minnesota is a gorgeous state (especially up north). I just don't like it any colder than it gets here in PA. Most states on the east coast are either too populated, too flat, too humid (PA included), too flat :D.

    I have a feeling someday my wife and I will be spending some time in coastal SC in the winter.

    Everyone seems to like Iowa. So maybe I'm being a bit too harsh :)
