Lost my job after 27 years in CT.  where should i move to? Best for hunting, seasons, game, land?  Thanks

I'd go to Iowa if you are into whitetails. It's hard to get a place to hunt, but I bet it is not any harder than it is in CT.
I tried to get my fiance to move to Namibia with me but she was not going for it. HA!

Not Texas, unless you are willing to pay for a lease, or know somebody that has land that is not leasing it.

You can go west, but beware that states like MT, WY, ID, and others are known for very poor wages. That and high food prices in the remote areas makes living tough.  People stay there because they love the country, not for the money.

Glad you posted this...might be making a move myself in the not so distant future.

I'll be watching this one too.

You should probably skip Alabama. There are a lot of places to hunt, but everyone hunts, most guys kill everything that is brown. Bucks don't have much of a chance to grow big.

try missouri, not a lot of money but it is a good place to live and hunt. my wife is in realestate she can sell you a place. i have been here since 1960 hate winter and mid summer but love the rest of it. loyd

McCall Idaho, right next to Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness area, 2.5 million acres and the largest outside of Alaska. The demographics, crime rate, housing and land prices in Valley County are much better than where I current live, cold does wonders for some things. Given half a chance and I'm out of here. I thought I'd never want to leave GA, but the GA that I grew up in left here a long time ago.

how about North Carolina?

Pruski2, come on over here to Iowa.  I live in Ottumwa, Iowa, home of Radar O'Riley (from MASH).  The hunting in the southern two tiers of counties here is awesome.  The world record whitetail buck was shot about 15 miles from where I hunt.  And yes, jonsimoneau is right, it can be hard to find a place to hunt, but I know plenty of people, and the public lands aren't too bad anyway.  My parents live around Rathbun Lake, an 11,000 acre man-made lake about 45 minutes from me, and 20 miles from the "Albia buck" area.  Weather sucks right now, but I'm sure you get the bad winters in CT too.  PM me if you have any questions, and I'll try to help as much as I can!

ps. I should add there's a John Deere plant here that I believe will be hiring soon, and they've got the best health care and wages in the whole state.

LKH nailed that!

Welcome to Montana - poverty with a few.  I am ahome town boy - retired back home after 30 years out seeking my fame and fortune.  Came back with little of either and am now working again for less than 1/2 I was making in the (ugh) city.

With the economic nosedive, the top three employers are laying off in droves and the unemployment rate in Kalispell is expected to be over 10% by the end of this month.

Hunting and fishing are good, bu tnot near what is was when I was a kid here over 30 years ago.  With the reintroduciton of wolves, the deer and elk in some places are now at critical low numbers.  There is a bumper sticker you see on a whole lot of pickup trucks that has a wolf sillouette and the words SMOKE A PACK A DAY!

If I could do It all over again I'd be out west some where living In or very close to the mountains.

I moved to Mississippi and am happy with the move, of course I moved from Louisiana so just about anywhere would look good.

i guess its important to ask what kinda work ya do. if your a nurse you could move just about anywhere just not to new york,the taxes alone will kill ya. i am a michigan boy(wyandotte) born and in- bred. stuck here in NY since 1986,because of a marriage and the USAF. i'm not in either one anymore,would move back to MI in a second if i could,northern though,mackinaw somewhere,not southern.

how about  NEW ZEALAND  

i was in animal care for pharmaceutical research.

27 yrs now laid off,,,,  due for a change

There are no deer in Iowa. Move to Illinois - somewhere near Jon's house from the look of his photos.

Best hunting seasons, game and land? Ever think of changing citzenship? British Columbia would be my choice hands down.

Pruski2. Don't give up. Rewards come to those who stay the course and be strong.
