If it had to happen.
 

If it had to happen.... Your boss says to you were going to give you 7 figures to pick a place to live and it can be anywhere in the world. Assuming your thinking bowhunting at the time, and the work wouldnt consume nearly any time at all. What place would you live, State, City, County, if youve got a place itching at you or whatever post it lets see where it would be for what people.
(Skys the limit on this one you can live where ever you want keep in mind this is an ideal situation)

Once again.........SW Montana. Anywhere within 2hrs of Bozeman but not further east than Livingston will be fine.:)

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I've elk hunted In the Livingston area. Beautiful country!! Tough going also!

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Anywhere there is deer, elk, bear, antelope, possibly moose. Sort of gets old just hunting whitetail.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

No lie....the very first day I lived out there I was in our bathroom in the guide bunkhouse in the Tom Miner basin at about 6,000ft and as I brushed my teeth that morning I looked into the back yard, at a small band of Bighorn sheep AND a group of elk just beyond them. LOL
I used to go to bed at night cursing the elk to shut up so I could fall asleep. :D

What a place........and bring your flyrod!:)

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Anywhere in the world....It would be in Herndon,Christian Co. Kentucky.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Id say you are not far from that now :Deasy move :D

RE: If it had to happen.
 

guys arent getting too elaborate with your choices yet.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

If things were ideal for me itwould be Montana, lived in Great Falls for 5 years, and loved it there.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

arent there tornadoes (sp) in Montana?

Ryan.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Once again......E Montana. Anywhere between Glasgow, and Hinsdale. But not further west than Hinsdale will be fine. :)


[8D]

Then after we both Tag out Matt/Pa, you and I can trade.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Charleston, SC (Mt, P/Awendaw/McClellanville).

Oh yeah.....bring a BIGGER fishing rod!:D

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Africa..bring your Infinitely biggest fishing pole!

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Probably western Montana or Northern Idaho. Missouri would be given some consideration too.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

There you go huck that's what I'm talking about.

Ryan

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Central New Mexico....dont have to drive far in any direction to get to different types of hunting. Go east for prairie dogs and yotes and antelope, west and north for bears, mountain lions, mulies, sheep, elk.............south for white tails.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I would live in my hometown and just travel to all the different hunting destinations with a seven figure paycheck.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I'd have to say Wyoming. Can hunt it all there:). If I focused on whitetails, I'd be heading to Muhlenburg (sp?) County Kentucky

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I would live right where I do now.....however, I would get rid of all the darn cows and a majority of the cropland and plant trees in the pastures. Then I would be able to pass on a 140" class deer because I would be able to hold more on our property. I have no interest in hunting other animals, I enjoy ducks, deer, and turkeys...That takes up enough time. And I flyfish around 100 days each summer. That's enough to keep me happy.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I've lived in Missouri and Illinois. I think I would choose San Diego. Snow/ice/tornadoes suck, so I'll choose a nice climate.With that income, I could pay to hunt wherever I want.[8D]

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Just to stir the pot a little...I hope you're not insinuating that S.C. could possibly have better saltwater fishing than N.C.?

Don't get me started on that one lol......Id like to know the last 800lb+ marlin from SC...the last blitz of big (40"+) red drum of hmmm small proportions, 100 fish in a couple hours, last bluefish blitz pushing bunker and trout on the beach, last striper slitz doing the same as the previous mentioned....I could go on and on......can't think of anything in the salt that SC has that NC doesnt have and better! lol

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Grew up and went to college in San Diego. Great fishing especially if you go a little south to Mexico. As far as hunting, there are some desert Mule deer, Desert Big Horns, and Hogs.Not my place to live for hunting, but its my home and I miss surfing in the sun everyday. And the other activities

I would Say Wyoming!! Got it all! Hunting, Fishing, Snowboarding, room to roam, and if im making 7 figures a house in Costa Rica too, need to surf and be in the tropics too.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Maybe it’s just me, but if I’m making 7 figures I’m staying right here and traveling to my hunting destinations.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I would love to live in Montana, North Dakota, etc. I would love to move away from this hectic place called Northern Virginia. To find a place where people are respectful of one another, with a close knit community where my kids could live and learn would be magical. Add in the bounty of the land and I would be in heaven. Oh yeah, wherever I lived I would buy my wife a beautiful white farm house with a large front porch. :)

Here would be one of the house on my property:

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Holy cow, noone has picked Alaska? I am shocked. They have something in season 365 days a year. Halibut size of cars. Moose well over 1500lbs, blacktail deer, monster blackies, Caribou.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I wud probably stay here in Kentucky because i love it.. But if i had to choose i wud love to go to Argentina.. Man do they have some sweet duck hunting i wud love to try it with a bow.. give it a new diffuclty level

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Internationally- New Zealand. But I wouldnt move out of the USA for ANYTHING.

So, that leaves me with a wild dream of Alaska, but I dont think I could just pack up ship and head THAT far away from everything I know. I'd rather live somewhere like NM, WY, MT, etc. and just make trips to AK and heck everywhere from there.

Im fine with KY and will likely stay here for a long time to come.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

i'm stayin right here in Mo. no question.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Saskatchewan Canada, but that would cost me a divorce. ;)Monster big woods bucks/butted up against farm country and little to nothing in regards to human population. I like the cold too, I could whitetail hunt, snowmobile and shed hunt there till I died.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Trevor,

Yeah, living in New Zealand would be a trip! That place has the friendliest people on the Planet! Everything is clean and crisp-the way Colorado use to be before the other 4 million people moved in. The fishing there is world class and so is the hunting. NZ would be my second choice.

I would enjoy Alaska also if it weren't so dark in the winter months. Twenty hours of daylight, yeah; two to four hours....HELL NO!

I selected Africa over Colorado (I have a lot right in my own backyard-10 big game animals and tons of fishing) because there is just that much more to hunt there (84 species of antelope alone). Home is where the heart is. Colorado will always be home.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

If I have a seven figure job and plenty of time to hunt, then Fort Walton Beach Florida.

My family could enjoy the beach, while I was out running all over the country hunting.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Not insinuating anything....but either coast you're 50 mi. from blue water.....and a lot of times fishing the same haunts.

I also wouldn't LIVE on the water..so that's why Charelston got the nod from me. I've lived in Charleston. Duck hunting is outstanding. Ditto turkeys. The town is a WONDERFUL place.....AND (get this!) you can hunt on Sundays!

I was spot on, for ME.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Curious, why did you move? My fiance and I debated whether (rather if push comes to shove down the road) we would rather move to NC or SC. SC was our preference.

So to keep this ontopic, probably SC or NC (I'm being a really odd duck here I know, but I like those states, and wouldn't mind moving there regardless of income, but if I was making high seven figures, I could fly back to PA when I wanted).

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I moved because my company was trying to relocate me back to Charlotte. I'd have chosen (how many cities are there in the US?) MANY, MANY places I'd rather live. I came back to NC on my terms....and not to Clt.

I may live in Charleston, again. I've got a few (very few) acres in Awendaw....about 14 mi. north of Mt. P.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Pike County Illinois

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Probably SW Iowa, right in the corner of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and MO. Some great hunting there... Get resident tags in Iowa every year and enjoy MO and NE over the counter tags, not to mention KS every other year.

RE: If it had to happen.
 

I feel bad for some of the states that diddnt even get mentioned ;)

I may jump onto the alaska boat. Idk however. Seems fun but who knows maybe not so much a friend of mine said there's a lot of gangs in anchorage and juno alaska

I'm not all about that personally.

I'm only 18 so its time to start those thoughts.

Ryan

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Somebody pick PA.........:D

RE: If it had to happen.
 

western wyoming where you can hunt pretty much anything. deer, turkey, elk, moose, bear, sheep and small game

RE: If it had to happen.
 

Hatteras Inlet...closest ride to blue water on the east coast...barring Florida.
