Hello, just wondering if anyone lives there, or has had any experiences hunting there. Possible job and wondering if its somewhere id wanna live.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
Pocatello is in a place where there's lots of hunting opportunity in all directions. It's a good sized town, I'm not sure what you profession is, but you should be able to find work. Here's the link for Idaho dept. of labor and you can find jobs available there. http://labor.idaho.gov/dnn/Default.aspx?alias=labor.idaho.gov/dnn/idl
I live about 60 miles west of there.
Excellent, thanks. Its a posted job so im just checking to see what u guys think of the everyday life side of things before i apply. Thought i remember hearing that the hunting was pretty great in that area. Hows the real estate market? Crime?
Thanks, Nathan
Everyday life: It costs me around $30 a year to resister my vehicle, cost of living is low, you can get a home for a decent price, the summers are hot, the winters are cold, spring and fall are cool, crime rate ain't bad, no hassles with having guns, few democrats, lot's of Mormons, lots of un-documented (but very hard working and friendly) migrant workers. Life's pretty simple here in Idaho.
Hmmm, i like all of that. The pay cut from the east coast is gonna be interesting. Have to see how it goes.
Thanks again
Would you come back for the Stump shoot Nate? :biglaugh: Or should we come to you!!??
lets see whats the cost of plane tickets to Idaho from N.Y. ?
I am working on relocating to Idaho as well.
Pocatello is a real nice area and X2 what Mike said except the cold winter part.That's a matter of perspective.Its a pretty warn winter compared to were I live ;)
Well i do have my NY and canadian brothers to consider (might have to burn a little more boot leather to find stumps in some areas). Gotta make sure i get a bit of land so we can start some sort of hunting and fishing commune. Something usually falls apart on these cross-country career moves, but im gonna try and see what happens.
Cross ur fingers eastern brothers, we'll get there yet!!

Yep Rockkiller, it averages one degree colder where you're at, but like you said that IS colder. (just sayin')
Feels colder in my mind :eek: :goldtooth:
Probably the wind chill. I'm actually moving from Idaho this summer maybe.
You coming to Alpine? :)
Here's some fascinating facts about Pocatello Idaho. It was named after Chief Pocatello of the Shoshone tribe, when he granted access of the railroad to pass though the fort Hall reservation. But he didn't like to use the name "Pocatello" but preferred to be called Tondzaosha, a Shoshoni word meaning buffalo robe.
One of those weird nights when posting replies I tricky I see.
You coming to Alpine? :)
No, probably Nevada.
Coming to Alpine? :)
No Not Wyoming, Nevada, the southern part, but not Las Vegas,
The Pahrumph area, the In laws are down that way.
Dont know how I got the double post ?Hope the move goes smooth for you.
It won't, It might not even happen. My wife wants to move there, I'll do it for her, but I can live anywhere, I just take my job with me.
I am looking at Idaho City.
Not too familiar with Idaho City ,but I don't think its too far from Stanley.And that is a great area.Sawtooth mountains and that where the state shoot is held every year.
Nathan,
I think Pocahontas Lives there.
Thanks for buying your brothers a lifetime supply of over the counter tags.
Best of luck Brother!
Good luck Brother
Idaho City is paradise compared to Pocatello, it's in the mountains a little north of Boise. Lot's of deer, bear and elk, lot's of fishing. There's little creeks running everywhere with lots of brook trout, and rainbows. You can go north from there, get to garden valley and then head east and get to Stanley, and salmon, in the saw tooth range. I probably would have tried to move there when I left mountain home but I didn't want to pay that price for a home there. It costs a bit more for property than the southern part of the state.
Its the least i can do Charlie! One way or another ill get out that way. The Sawtooth Attack has a nice ring to it!! ;)
That Does have a nice ring...
