If you could pick one state to live in what would it be?

Never been there but from what I've seen on hunting shows I like the looks of New Mexico especially in the higher elevations. I like the Sandhills of Nebraska too.

I miss Idaho, Maine, NM, WV and Pa.......but find it hard to pick one to go back to.

But in 4-6 yrs, it'll be 1 of them, might do ID in summer and NM in winter.

North Dakota. Rat trapping in the spring. Fishing in the summer. Waterfowl in the fall, and coyotes and fox all winter.

I truly enjoyed my time in central North Dakota. Good fishing, phenomenal upland bird and waterfowl hunting. Some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. If I ever leave Idaho, it will be to go back to ND... but man do those winters SUCK.

Look closely at the profile of each user, location is often included.
Simply put each of us have chosen one state and here we are. Not one of us is forced to live in the state we do, always a matter choice.

I have been to 47 of our 50 states over the years only lacking Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii.

My top 5 would be Maine, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota. If I did not already live in WV it would be in my top 5.

Idaho, Wyoming, or Nebraska.

West Virginia is nice if you are tucked deep in the remote mountains. Lots of trapping opportunities.

If you can stand the weather, north dakota has a lot to offer. It has some wild weather swings, really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter and the ever present wind.

I like it here in Minnesota because I love to fish as well as hunt and trap and I have 200 good fishing lakes within 30 minutes of my house. Winters can get really harsh and long. If all I hunted was whitetails I would move back to Iowa. I really like the mountains and miss living in them, but I usually take a trip west every other year to satisfy that thirst.

I like where I am now, not just for the fishing, but because I am close to Canada, where I fish and hunt (deer and bears) several times a year. To each his own.

The older I get the less I like winter. Within the 6-8 years I expect I will sell the property I have now and move to Arizona or Texas for the winter, and have a small house on a lake up here for the spring, summer and fall.

Interesting. I have also been in 47 states, lacking Rhode Island, Delaware and Hawaii.

Grew up Iowa and have lived in Minnesota since 1985.

I guess I am comfortable here with all the trapping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling a person could want.

What draws me would be hardwood trees with small hills and some small creeks
