Maryland was great except for the taxes and the amount of people.

Hawai is nice but after a little while you realize your on an Island and there is only so much to see.

I have lived in many places, Alaska, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Nevada, Iowa, Upper Penninsula of Michigan etc. and I would most definately pick the UP of Michigan first and then Alaska. They are both gods country to me but I just find it more comfortable here in Michigan. My dad lives in Alaska so I get to visit quite often. Never hunted there yet but have done a lot of fishing!!!!!

I'm right where I want to be - New York. Beautiful country, lots of hunting and fishing opportunities, outdoor activities, family and friends. There are some negatives, like taxes and more taxes and taxes on top of the taxes, but overall it's a great place. I've visited 90% of the U.S. States and many have a lot to offer. I've lived in 3 states that were very different from each other, but have always found myself coming back to New York.

Everyone should keep in mind. Most of us can live almost anywhere we want. It may require some effort and sacrifice to get there, but if it's really where you want to live.....

Bigbulls, come up anytime, I got a spare cabin that has a spectular view over looking the Rockies. If your ever lucky enough to get a tag, I can point you in some pretty good directions. Glacier National Park is beside me and "The Bob" is just below me. I rarely travel more than 6 miles to hunt unless I'm hunting antelope on the east side or unless I put in for special hunts. Deer come easy as the elk requires more homework, even though after I filled my elk tag last year I had a herd in the back yard, figures, the bears are a nusance more than anything but I will shoot them if they become a problem. Good Luck, Bobby

I moved from Australia to Texas enough said

That is a qood question because there is several states i would like to live in. I used to live up in Montana and i loved it there despite having bad memories (due to an ex) but i figured maybe someday i would move back. Here is my other possible states: TN, OR, AK, MI, WI, WY, N/SD

I will stay right here in Idaho. Moved here once before. Moved to NY and now I am back to stay. I have a good root system going and don't care to uproot again. Possibly the least touristy of the western states. No draw needed for an elk tag. Manage to bag one about every year now.
