Virginia is so bad the California immigrants wish they were back in California. The strict hard liquor laws drive them nuts.

Is your bud in Phoenix & south, or is he north of it?

I've heard anything north is much nicer temp-wise

You probably don't want to come to Utah. Too many nice conservative people, beautiful mountains, deserts, tons of public land, great hunting and fishing, spotted western bobcats and $50 bounty on western heavy and semi heavy coyotes. What's to like?

If I didn't live in north Idaho, it would probably be in Montana. I am happy here.

If you stay away from Sewer Falls, SD isnt a bad place at all. Get an hour or so away from the city and acreages can be had under 200k all day long. Any closer and you can add 100k+ to anything and everything. I spose its the same way everywhere that has one goal in mind, population growth.

I wouldn't mind owning lakeshore on Devil's Lake. Great fishing lake properly managed. Of course, downside are the winters. Liberal Twin Cities suck worse than ND's winters.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Michigan is good for outdoorsmen things like hunting fishing and trapping, but car insurance is ridiculous and if our governor gets her gas tax gas will be ridiculous too. Hope you like the cold


Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

Others ideas of good, bad or ugly may not be the best for you. Everyone has different wants and needs. Almost every state would have scenic and secluded areas it is just a matter of what other issues and concerns one can tolerate or adapt to. Finding a place that has enough economic activity and depth so that one can earn the revenue that is needed to do the things one wants and likes to do would be a strong consideration for me.

Law Dog, I agree less people is a plus, but there is a downside too. If state politics are important to you a low population state like Wyoming is highly susceptible to an influx from Cali changing what you hold dear. Colorado has gone down that path and Montana is being challenged.

Montana has a lot of pro's and con's. The state is 57% privately owned the rest is all (43%) public BLM, Fed, State, etc.. Land galore to buy more then any place I have seen any other state. The size of private land 57% is about the size of SD even though a large state and hard to get on land more and more each year. So much bought for rec and hunting so it takes more away from the general public to trap and hunt. It is a state where you have land that is land locked. With more out of state people buying they keep land locking more of public lands.

The only places I've ever lived are/were Maine and Alaska. I love them both. I'm up here in the north country and I'm happy but the area is poverty ridden. It's isolated with very few good paying jobs. The plus side is, you can buy land or a home for next to nothing if you have a way to pay for it.

I am happy here in WNC. Taxes aren't too bad. Plenty of public ground. It is getting more populated though, with liberals!?!??! I don't know about the politics or cost of living, but if not for the winters I believe I could handle northern Wisconsin!! Beautiful land!!

this ^

Teton County, WY, which contains the Jackson Hole ski area, all of Grand Teton National Park, and 40% of Yellowstone National Park, is a classic example of a sparsely populated area that has been lost to Libs. Let's remember how they thwarted the proposed Grizzly hunt.


Jackson Hole is a lost cause. Hopefully, no other parts of Wyoming turns into this billionaire liberal mess.
