I'd like to come and check out your fine State.

You guys really helped me out on the thread dealing with "Gun and Trapping friendly States." And so now I am asking for some additional information as I'm a Hunter (of most all things ediable), a Fisherman (love trout on a fly and through the ice), a Trapper (the usual suspects, but beaver, rats, coon, mink, marten, fox, and one day hopefully I'll master coyotes), and a carpenter (I know, we're a dime a dozen) in that order. I've also some experience around drilling rigs and farms.

I am asking for suggestions as to what area(s) I should be concidering as a potential fit, and what areas to avoid.

I could be happy never seeing another street light again for the rest of my life, but my wife needs access to "girlie" things. I'd not mind driving 50+ miles or so to town for work and groceries (and she could do her things).

I am respectful and sensitive toward others' "grounds" and am Not looking for your "secret" place, I don't want to crowd anybody or step on any toes, just looking for generalities and suggestions.

Many thanks already for your kindness in suggesting I give North Dakota a look.

We looked at devils lake area, as we have family there, before we decided on Alaska. Found several great deals on property but wife didn't want to be land locked. We are not really close to the coast now but only a few hour drive.

Scott pm me

I am giving thought to both Alaska and ND... different animals, but both states hold my attention.

If others would prefer to speak via PM and not air this out publically, I would certainly welcome it.

Thank you.

Just think how hard it will be to fish the ocean from north Dakota.

You're killin me, Wylee.! Lol

...and then there's that whole Moose meat thing. I currently travel 1800 miles to get my Moose, wouldn't mind shortening that distace by a little.

You're distracting me... I'm supposed to be trying to educate myself about North Dakota

Lol moose visit me every morning in winter. Not so much come dinner time. Wow 1800 miles!?

Yeh... all the way Newfoundland.
It's a pleasure to spend that time driving up with my dad of nearly 80 years old. We enjoy it and so far we're batting 100% so that eases some of travel time, and costs.

There's always Whitetail in the freezer, but the Moose is a welcome cut above.

Eastern North Dakota the Game and Fish takes your Bobcats and Otters, there is a season for otter 15 max 7 day season, it's hard not to catch them there's so many we need changes to the regs...

Dickinson and parts west.

Osky

Yep!!

Oil has ruined that country to crowded and to much pressure. I would head to SE Montana or Western South Dakota.

What?? The Man camps are long empty...

Tried to pm you twice not sure if it worked pm me if interested have opportunities for you

You haven't heard that song about oceanfront property in North Dakota?
