Thanks for the info folks! I'm kicking around a few places. Texas, I spent the better part of a year there working a project and liked it and the people; Denver, because I like the mountains, skiing, etc.; and Raleigh NC, I think that area is nice, and it gets me closer to my family, which is spread all over the east. All have good hunting/outdoor activities as well as decent economies, so its turning out to be a tough decision.

Regarding the CA liberals - too bad there's not a season for those. They're way over-populated! And none too smart, being in favor of having mountain lions in the parks surrounding their houses.
