Which state would you move to?
 

Assuming family wasn't an issue and you werefinancially able to do so, would you move to another state just so you could better your hunting prospects? If so, which state?

I'm curious how many are happy where there are and how many would be willing to leave their home to have a better place to hunt.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I have no desire to live anywhere other than "Almost Heaven" WV.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Montana in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even have to think it through.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Any state that doesn't get snow. Im thinking New Mexico, Elk and Couse Deer (SP?). Lots of four wheeler trails there too, plus your never to far away from cheap labor.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Honestly, I would move somewhere that offers a better chance of obtaining a largeamount of acreage. Somewhere with lower land prices. The size of a deer in a given state doesn't mean squat if you can't hunt them.

I'd much rather have solid access to 'average' hunting land than have to drive by and gawk at prime land.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I’d have to do much more research, but off the top of my head would be Idaho, Montana, or Missouri.
2nd tier Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Iowa

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

i would move to another state where u can hunt more than one big game animal like montana

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I would leave Illinois in a heartbeat for any state which offer just as good (or better) hunting AND that took care of their resident hunters instead of catering to NR hunter the way Illinois does. Plus no Blago, that is enough reason right there.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Montana for sure!!!!!
Idaho-One could hunt with shed

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

West, some where in the mountains!!!

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Alaska, Oregon, or Washington. Alaska is the first choice. Amazing Fishing, Amazing hunting, and ton's of public land.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Honestly......I'd move back to the coast and resume inshore/offshore fishing.

Hunting whitetailswouldn't be a factor in my decision.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I Hunt all kinds of critters so I would love to live where there is the most opportunity to do that, Alaska, Montana, Idaho or even somewhere Canada!

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I'm with you there, My wife hates the cold, but if she ever left me for younger, cooler version of Sooner State Hunter, I'd be there in a heartbeat :D

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Montana would probably be my choice if hunting were the only consideration. Obviously, I don't live in NY just for the hunting, nor would I ever move just for the hunting.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Lmfao!!! Another good post today. That was a good laugh.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I love it right where I am at but as for hunting another state Colorado again and also I would like to try Idaho.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

New Mexico. Deer hunting,Elk Hunting, Bear Hunting, Mountain Lion Hunting, Antelope Hunting.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Another for Montana!!

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Missouri, Montana, Idaho, Texas, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois...I've got a lot of moving to do.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I love Missouri, but if I had to I would pick either Kentucky, or Montana.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Moving in the not-so-distant future is a real possibility for me. Illinois has been ruined by Chicago politicians.

Missouri is tops on the list. (because I can't get too far away from my mom in case she needs something)

If I didn't have to drive to Chicago on a regular basis then Utah looks good. North Carolina is pretty nice I hear... but I've never been there. I would like to be closer to the ocean.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I already live in the state I would move to and that is WISCONSIN!

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Because you can catch Redfish bigger than those deer?

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Don't be a hater.;)

Redfish, trout, blues, mullet, sharks, jacks, cobia, sheepshead, trigger, catfish, tarpon, snapper, dolphin, kings, spanish, tuna, etc..., etc..., etc..............all within 2.5hrs ride, and most within minutes.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I love FISH. Especially when they swallow the hook.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Dolphin? There are laws against that aren't there? I am with you though (minus the dolphin). Salt water fishing would be my9 month a year passion (leaving 3 for hunting)if I lived close to the coast. I love my annual trips for tarpon & cobia.

For hunting I would move to CO. MT is too damn cold! They had snow in the middle of June!!! It would really be a toss up between the east coast and the Rockies.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I believe he's talking about Mahi Mahi (sp?). Not like a bottlenose lol.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

What many call a "dolphin" or a "porpoise"is really a bottle nosed dolphin.

I'm actually not even sure if it's legal to fish for them or not. I can tell you it would be FUTILE!:D

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Alaska in a heart beat. I would also grow i big beard and live off of the land.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

montana, or idaho for the elk
i'll stay right here in iowa for the deer

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

NONE........... I love it here in Canada![8D]

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Colorado...it all flows down hill from here!

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Alaska for Summer & fall, FL for winter and Michigan for Inbetwen....

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

Montana, North Dakota, Alaska.......If I strike the lottery one day I am buying a second house and land in one of those states...you guys will be more than welcome to have a key to my place......minus any of you guys that kill juvenile animals :)

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I wouldn't mind living out west to hunt bigger game. But being from Missouri and hunting whitetails all my life, I would move to Iowa in a heartbeat!

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

West Virginia

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

I am fine in Ohio, but if forced to move....Iowaor Kentucky, the nothern or western regions of Kentucky.

RE: Which state would you move to?
 

As far as quality deer Im content here, there are plenty of them in 130-170 class. Now as far as people, I would move in a second if family wasn't an issue. I love Old Va, 20 yrs ago. Way less people than now, but now it is rediculous. We lost the farm to developments, and it is happening at record pace all around. If I had to pick one, I would say Missouri. Climate is sounds good, not too cold not too hot, plenty of big bucks and seems to be an all around good conservative state with lots of farms left. Second joice would be Iowa.
