Depending on the road life takes me, I have a very good job, I’m only 20, I’ve been with my girlfriend for 2-1/2 years, but I’d like to buy land in northern Maine. But she wants a promotion to wife. So that means all my spending money will be redirected. Hopefully I can convince her that land is a good idea. About to celebrate a year with mine, and now I've got a new trapper to train. Have enough kids and you'll need the land.

a man marries a woman thinking she will stay the same.
a woman marries a man with the intention to make him the person she wants him to be. especially young women
women get frustrated and don't understand why their man wont change. men get frustrated because their wife does change.
90% of divorce is initiated by women.
there are NO legal benefits to a man to get married.
Marriage is a contract whereby you are giving everything you have, and everything you will earn to your woman. don't do it. maybe when your 50. you can be a dad and a father without that man neutering female creation called marriage. I notice you said she wants to marry. Its because it will greatly benefit her. You, not so much. Don't do it. You can cohabitate, raise children and share everything without involving the government by entering into the legal contract known as marriage.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Idaho would be a good choice. 72 hour check. Very reasonable rules. 32+ million acres of public land and sometimes it seems like nearly that many coyotes. And only around 2000 trapping licenses sold each year. If you're self contained you can pick a spot on the map and have at it. While they're pretty much everywhere I'd probably pick the southern half for coyotes. More sagebrush desert type terrain. 10bands. Question? With only 2000 trappers, would their be any work for a trapper that was willing to come from Alabama at a moments notice? What kind of money could a man make, trapping for others? Any bounty work? Cattle or sheep ranchers hiring?

i find northern PA,close enough to throw a baseball into NY to be a great compromise for my family and me. Potter County PA is definitely God’s Country USA. I remember seeing in a trapper’s catalog years ago of a barn shot of mixed furs caught by one trapper in Potter County called the ultimate catch. I have yet to see since then such a large number of mixed furs in a single picture.
