We spent a lot of time looking at states in the SE when Drifter retired. We chose MS, in part because we found a deal here we liked, but also largely because it seems to be the reddest state. Has wonderful trapping laws, or rather lack there of. Great gun laws. Low taxes. NO property tax on the first 100k once you turn 65. You can conceal or open carry without a permit. No trap jaw restrictions other than nothing bigger than a 220 on public land. Trapping season from Nov. 1st thru March 15th. Live market for coyote so you can make a little money. Meat market for coon.
When it comes to the color of the county politics down here, you'll be confused. Most of the really conservative people still run on a blue ticket. This is not the case for state or federal political candidates, ONLY county. My county is QUITE conservative, but also mostly blue or independent. There's conservative blue, and democrat blue... you really have to know the candidate to know who you're voting for.
All in all, I don't think you will find a south-eastern state with more freedom and less laws than MS.

Great choice, but we're all full. Sorry I moved to Idaho from Pennsylvania four years ago. Since I wasn’t from a wacko state like California and a conservative, the locals accepted me. However, they also said I will be the last out of state person they will accept so I am steadfast in their wishes lol.

In the east Tennessee would be my choice, 4 seasons and excellent sporting opportunities. Look at RM Trapper's posts. Like anyplace the further from major cities the better it gets and I don't think I ever met someone from the left coast there.

Buckmink it depends on what part of Tennessee you are in, I live in a small town (Roan Mountain)close to the NC line and we are pretty high elevation (3,000-6,000ft) and get quite a bit of snow here. But you drive 20 mins and they hardly see more than a skiff of snow Twenty minutes straight down. LOL There's places like that in north Georgia. It always surprises me the difference in weather and temperatures when I get the opportunity to get go to the mountains.

Texas would be nice. I like Iowa and our governor, just not the weather when I retire. Was just in Texas, not a state I'd ever move to. Ok was the best looking most inviting state we went through, but pot stores on every block kinda put them in a bad light too IMO. If we move it'll be North, not South, I'm no fan of the heat. One of the Dakotas I think would be high on the list.

Texas is changing fast thanks to California migrants and some other reasons. Not good. As for Oklahoma, you are right. We are all on Marijuana. More importantly, there is no more room here.

I'm in east-central Idaho up against the Montana border. I grew up in central Idaho (McCall) and worked and lived in various parts of the state. Went to Alaska in 1980, and retired back to Idaho in 2008. Very carefully picked my retirement location (low human density, no "real" hospital, 150 miles to shopping in either Idaho Falls or in Missoula, extremely conservative voting, etc.). Since returning (14 years ago), I've been very disappointed in the influx of "new people" into the state, and them bringing their liberal politics with them (from California, Colorado, upper midwest, and east coast). One of the major reasons I moved where I did was the lack of people (so why would I encourage more people to move in???). We've seen many negative changes in the 14 years we've been back to Idaho. Perhaps it's time to return to Alaska?
I'm getting pretty fed up with more houses popping up and the country filling up with ORVs by the hundreds. Doesn't anybody walk any more? Why can't they take their garbage back home with them?
Don't come to Idaho.

In Fairbanks only the liberals walk. The conservatives ride $25,000 side by sides.
