Pennsylvania. Lotsa game. Lotsa trees. Lotsa nice people.

I usually refer to Wyoming as "Gods country"

It depends on the kind of hunting you're looking for but we have some of the best big game hunting in the country.

Gun laws are good and I like the fact that we are the least populated state in the country. The only down side is the winters are long, cold, and sometimes a lot of snow.

Western Montana would be my choice. Nice country and mostly sane people.

If you enjoy a similar climate, maybe warmer a bit, Kentucky, S. Ohio and S. Indiana all offer good gun rights and decent cost of living along with reasonably sane politics. Tennessee should also be under consideration, but it would seem costs are going up as blue-staters are moving in and doing their level best to make it like the places they moved from.

Welcome aboard.

Alligator Reef Lighthouse.
Snook.
We hunt with rods and reels.
Other than Ducks, passing by, old Florida family members, say that four legged critters, taste like muck.
Hunt elsewhere.

Hate to see another smart Missouri boy leave the State. We need to keep a voter firewall to keep the idiots fleeing California from turning Missouri into the next Colorado!

West by god Virginia. The most unobtrusive gun laws I know of. Even for non residents. Great hunting and wide open spaces. If you like warmth and fishing I’d say SW Florida coast. From Ft Myers to Everglade City.

A few years ago, I would have said Colorado. The Communists have taken over now, So it’s not worthy of consideration any more, sad to say.

Don't forget, In Wyoming the snow doesn.t melt it just blows around until it wears out!

The West Virginia-Kentucky-Southern Ohio Appalachian area has a lot going for it, and it is now becoming a refuge for those fleeing more expensive and more oppressive parts of the country. Moderate winters, cooler summers, low taxes, cheap(er) property, and lots of the great outdoors. Worth a look.

The best place to be is where you are HAPPY. Enjoy where ever that may be

I love New Mexico, and left SW MO for this state in '80. It's changing here, like everywhere, but the climate and people are wonderful....employment not so much.

You forgot to mention the scarcity of trees and water and the constant winds.

As far away from other human beings as you can reasonably get..

I have been to many Western states for work...New Mexico is the ONLY one I enjoyed and would go back in a heartbeat...friendly people. When I become King, we keep New Mexico but give everything else west of the Mississippi back to the Indians.

Definitely visited for my 18th birthday loved the mountains and the desert

I have lived in Missouri for 60 years and don't plan on leaving. However if I had to leave I would go back to Texas where I grew up. Texas is really a state of mind that anyone who has lived there understands.

Maybe even as late as 10 years ago. Today a nice starter home in any city starts at $750,000.
