I have been to all 50 states, went to school at the U of Wyoming in the early 70's. You may think I am nuts (that is for sure a majority opinion) but I like it here in North Jersey. No place I have been has as many animals per square mile as right here!!! Can fish for all the major fresh water fish (including muskie),one hour away you can fish the Atlantic ocean, can deer hunt for 5 months (limit is 7 bucks, unlimited does in many zones) hunt big black bears, small game.
Two drawbacks are no foothold traps, this may be blasphemy but that makes one a better trapper, you really have to know your stuff to be successful without them and no bobcat season. Eric

I'm a prarie person! I love big open pastures and live in a county here in Ks that is one of the most undefiled and unbroken countys in the state. Yes, I'm not fond of wind, but have always looked at it like there would be tons of people here too if it wasn't for the wind. The same goes for a lot of the states I have trapped in. All the states that start at the front range of the rockies and east through the great plains has lots of wind and have erratic weather, hence the mobs of citiots don't like to move here.....thankfully!

Any state that upholds the US constitution, is against illegal acitvity (even from high up officials), pro-life, allows home schooling, and allows road right-of-way trapping

I just got back from a road trip in the "Great American Desert" Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. There is a reason people do not want to live there.

Louisiana is pretty decent for an outdoorsman. It does have it's drawbacks.

Besides here, Wyoming, Arkansas, Iowa, Alaska, either of the Dakotas, Montana.

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.

One chooses, be it family, job or place to live; so it is entirely true. No one can set your priorities except you, if you choose job over family or family over a place to live, it is still your choice.

I have not had the need to wonder like many of my brothers & sisters here on this site, but have done a little bit. That said, at one time I almost moved to Co, glad I didn't now. Some never see the beauty in this cornfield country of Indiana. Indiana is not all corn & beans, our trapping laws are some of the best in the country. Plenty of deer & turkeys, & other game. I wish the muskrat & grey fox populations were better, but we can now trap otter & from what I see bobcat next year.
Once I could say I was staying here because my folks were getting older, now it is me who is the older one. I will die here in Indiana.
