RE: Moving to a new area/state due to hunting.
 

Haha, don't worry, I'm not necessarily choosing between her and my lifestyle. She knows I'm obsessed with hunting and will never make me move to an area where I can't do it. She's even accepted the fact that we're going to have to end up on a decent chunk of land:D I just think she wants some change, but that could also change in the next year or so, so who knows. I wouldn't mind moving to western PA...land is more available, and generally lower priced (as long as I stay away from Pitt). She loves the ocean, so I think that's her biggest reason for not wanting to move anymore inland than we are....problem is...that's where the hunting starts getting really good!

RE: Moving to a new area/state due to hunting.
 

The market is in a little bit of a lull right now, but I'm not so sure how cheap the land is going to be over here on the western side of the state. If this is cheap, then man I don't want to know what it costs over there.

I faced your dillemma when I came out of college too. We never moved too far from home, 2.5 hrs away and ended up coming back after a year because she missed the family. But truth is, even though we are "home" its not like we see them all that often anyways.

Is there an option(and maybe I am way off here) of moving inland, but swapping the ocean beaches for the great lakes?

Good luck choosing.

couple questions for you. What do you and her do/going to do for a career? Why do you have a problem with the 'burgh?

RE: Moving to a new area/state due to hunting.
 

I LOVE lakes. My parents have a lake house on Sharbot Lake in Ontario. I've been going there since I was 3. She loves the lakes as well, but loves the ocean even more. Land prices are going up everywhere, but the few chunks I've found out in the Western part of the state seem to be going for a little less than my immediate area. The trend certainly could be switching though.


Ron,
I have nothing against Pittsburgh, my girlfriend even went there for her first semester of college. Amazing city. I just assumed land prices would be highest when getting close to Pittsburgh.

As for careers, I am a Technology Education teacher, so PA is one of the best states for me career wise (pay is higher, benefits are unmatched, etc). She will be a pharmacist, so she can go anywhere, but she prefers to work in a pharmacy that makes the drugs, and researches certain drugs...these are generally only found in the southern states (Virginia, SC, NC, MAYBE MD). Who knows...it's going to be a really tough decision no matter what happens.

RE: Moving to a new area/state due to hunting.
 

just about 2 hours drive south, maybe a little more is a good spot. I live in Chambersburg, PA. Housing isn't that bad of a price, but if your looking for land, there you may pay a little more then your looking for. About the 'burgh thing, just messing with you.

In 2003 I had a Job lined up in KS, I was going alone said Mrs. Germ:eek:

In my second life I am going the road of WKP Todd[8D]

RE: Moving to a new area/state due to hunting.
 

Man, that sounds familiar, except I was moving to Montana.

Definitely worth the trade... at least 10 months out of the year:D

Nope, no good deer in MD, better look elsewhere. [8D]

If you have a family farm in PA,it would be really hard to leave, if you like being there do not move for a woman.

RE: Moving to a new area/state due to hunting.
 

Yeah yeah, I didn't mean in terms of quality deer:D I meant availability of land, large rural tracts, etc. Great buck by the way...private or public ground?
