You eliminated all the western states... Where people are active, land access is seemingly limitless, tons of hunting/fishing opps, and views that make the "seasons" of the Midwest seem like a joke. East Texas sucks. New Mexico would be a much more fun place to live if you lead an active lifestyle. I'd personally choose Colorado, Idaho, or Montana though (if Alaska was too extreme).

I hope to be asking myself this same question by December. However my options are probably going to be tied directly to the oil industry which means staying put in my current area is a good possibility. If it weren't for my parents, and nothing else holding me here, moving west would be an absolute no brainer. I'm not to keen on going to the Gulf, as the south doesn't offer me much besides bass fishing, and I'm not sure working on the North Slope a few weeks at a time is what I'm looking for either. We'll see!
not dissing those atreas but don't like much of the west have lived in west TX,AZ,CALI and IDAHO.. Alaska wouldn't be too extreme but the cost of living and home prices are rediculous.. people aren't active in the Midwest or SE? LOL We did look at S.E CO, I am a whitetail hunter live and breathe whitetail many western states don't have them
Best of luck to you....hope your job stays safe , but with the Saudis flooding the market with cheap oil we are already shutting down a lot of operations and the companies that supply's the oil industry are laying lots of folks off and slowing production...
If you come to Minnesota yes the Vikings suck and the only hope to find a decent buck is in the furthest SE county you can find. Funny thing about much hyped Iowa over half the state is a deer wasteland.
Went down there to recover space shuttle pieces and fight fire love east Texas. What does not have thorns or burrs is poisonous and wants to kill you. gators pigs and deer.
Was just looking at a nice home on 80ac just south of the twin cities, has not been hunted [by the owner] since the late 80s for $550k seems a tad high but was a beautiful property... been on the market for a while.. I notice everything the whitetail properties guys have is pricey.. http://www.landsofminnesota.com/min...-acres-in-Goodhue-County-Minnesota/id/1612536
My husband grew up in southern Missouri, then moved to southern Illinois and went to school there. He doesn't care for either area. He has been all over the U.S. and loves it here. For myself, I love being in deep woods. There is a huge amount of public land here, especially further north and on the U.P. Hunting is good if you know what you're doing. I think Minnesota and Wisconsin would be nice. But being on this side of the lake, the weather is milder. We get a lot of snow, but it doesn't get as bitter cold. May The Sheep Be With You
was born in WI raised in Traverse city MI for the most part. We did move a lot when my dad was in the U.S.A.F.. Have always loved the northern L.P of Mich but the economy is so bad statewide I don't know if we would consider it, but it is an option because land is cheap..
Whitetail properties is never going to get you the best deal for the money, I would find the property and go thru a local realitor. Then again you probably know that.
correct and when we get to the point where we decide for sure we will contact a good Realtor in the area we choose... Having been a Realtor who sold land and timber tracts for many years the Whitetail properties guys have never impressed me.
Trevor it's great if you want to live out West but not everybody wants the same things as you. Everything you mentioned is available where I live (not as many animals but I can travel a state or two away). People are active around here year round. It's not hard to find fun things to do in the winter. Most people I know like to go snowmobiling, ice fish, ski, etc). I have been to most of the Western states and agree there are some great views. But I don't think you would feel what we have up here is a joke if you have been to places like Ely (where Fitz lives), North Shore of Lake Superior, Lutsen Mountain, Leech lake and Lake of the Woods to name a few. The Twin Cities area is not representative of the mid/northern areas of the state. To each their own I guess.
