With all due respect, I have to disagree with you. I believe the south is more diverse. You can do all those things you said and then some down south. Yes , there aremountains down south. Salt water fishing, there is none better than in Louisiana. Fla., Miss., and Ala. are also great spots. I'm sure it's beautiful up there away from the cities, but the hunting and fishing I guarantee you is better in the south by a landslide. I'm surprised a southern boy like yourself likes it that much up there. I don't think I would adapt too well. Too much great hunting and fishing down here to leave. Believe me, I'm not knocking the hunting and fishing in N.Y., I just don't think it can compare to the south. Too much snow up there anyway.
