Contemplating a move in the next year.
Is either of these a clear preference over the other for quality of outdoor life?

Greensboro and the general Piedmont area of NC is pretty heavily populated, and not all that conducive to easy hunting, but there are lots of lakes nearby if you'd rather fish.
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Can't say much about Greensboro but Knoxville is close to lots of good fishing. Tellico is a great crappie lake and Douglas is as well with great bass fishing too. Oak Ridge has some great turkey hunting. Also lots of river fishing around Knoxville for bass and trout.

Knoxville will give you access to much more public hunting land within 1 1/2 hours drive than Greensboro. As for fishing, within 1 1/2 hours of Knoxville are two of the best trout fishing tailwaters on the east coast, many of the Smokey Mountain brookie trout streams, plus numerous lakes with great bass fishing.
For an outdoorsman I would vote Knoxville.

sjb, thanks for the offer. It's up in the air right now, but work and life situations are steering the wife and me out of here before very long, and we're narrowing down options. Quality of life will be high on the list of variables.

TN needs more residents, NC is overflowing with people; roads and infrastructure cannot keep up - I'd go to TN.

NOT GSO. RWE doesn't live that far from GSO, and he's in a decent area. That said, he'll give you the straight skinny on the area. TN or SW VA (or quite a few other places in VA) kick GSO squarely in the ass in any measurable "quality of life" metric I can think of, however.

I am about 20 miles from GSO, and that is plenty close enough. While there is good hunting and fishing to be found and you are never more that a half day from the grand strand or God's country, you are are surrounded by Winston Salem to the west, Charlotte south of you, and Durham to the east. You might as well be in Mogadishu as live in one of those hell holes and they are all Sanctuary cities. This area has it's bright spots but I am not sure that I would relocate here. If not for aging family I would be 3 hours west of here.
If you do decide on GSO, look north of the city for a place to live. Nice areas and schools around Summerfield or Stokesdale with a decent commute. Good luck.

NC has had a larger influx of liberals in comparison. Knoxville is cool, but their road system blows!
Why these 2? Only options for your work?

Tom,
There are a few $$ sections of Greensboro, Winston, etc that are nice communities because they have old money influence, but the governments in those areas are always going to cater to the heavy minority component.
Remember, GSO just had their epiphany that minorities are being stopped more than white folk for equipment violations and secondary violations, so the city crafted an edict to curb equipment violation stops - so they wouldn't profile anymore.
We are still knocking out subdivisions in the county though, many with 6 figure houses being spec'd, some with acreage tracts, etc.
A lot in nice neighborhoods, you'll just have to get a lease or other land somewhere to hunt.
Now, in the surrounding counties, things are less cosmopolitan, and your level of comfort is based on what you put into it. I'm in an old farmhouse that needs a lot of upkeep, but I have 150 acres. No one, not even the local government, bothers us, because its conservative farmers and their descendants. And I blow things up a lot.
I know where there's another brick ranch with 150 acres southwest of asheboro. May even be a farm pond. 30 minutes to downtown greensboro.
Or I can guide you to developers handling low maintenance, nice neighborhood houses (probably with HOA's and such) even closer.
But again, the city governments suck. And there's areas I don't go in daylight.

One thing that pissed me off about the area, is that High Point, NC (near GSO) closed its Shakespeare Theatre.
A sign of the times that the economy is still in fragile shape.
There is no doubt in my mind that Knoxville is "bigger" than the metropolitan complex of GSO, Winston, High Point, etc combined. Probably a lot more offerings in one location than you could get here, if that's what your looking for.
You'd have to go to raleigh or Charlotte for some levels of entertainment.
But I don't know how far outside knoxville one would have to go to find (my idea) of peace.
Hope the rambling helps.

GSO and W-S are growing the wrong way IMHO and judging by the out of state plates I see everywhere do not see a change in that direction. Taxes at every level are out of hand IMHO.

If "cost of living" matters in your decision, then TN wins hands down. We just had to make this same decision (TN or NC) and chose not to live in NC because of the tax's. There is a significant difference.
Good luck.

Good luck. Not just taxes, but other costs (insurances, gas, utilities, etc.) are also higher in NC than they are in TN or VA.

When in Knoxville check out the mouse's ear, nothing like it in Greensboro. NC's public schools are better than Tn. Lots of really good looking coeds in Knoxville.
If I was going to move to east Tn, I'd move to Cleveland, mostly white people & good schools.

I have only passed through Greensboro a couple of times and cannot comment on the quality of life there. However, I did live in Knoxville, Maryville and Morristown for quite a few years.
If you like fishing, hiking and very nice mountain scenery then you will like Knoxville and the surrounding area. If you are focused mainly on hunting especially for deer, you might be disappointed. There is a lot of decent public land hunting not far from Knoxville, but it cannot compare to middle Tennessee for deer hunting. If river or mountain stream trout and smallmouth fishing is your thing then you are in luck. Same goes for reservoir fishing for bass, stripers, catfish etc.
If you like college sports it does not get much better than football Saturdays in Knoxville. I just hope you like orange.
Knoxville is just big enough to have decent theatre, museum and music events. It has plentiful shopping and outlet malls close by in Pigeon Forge/Sevierville. It is still small enough to an element of rural East Tennessee to it though.
There a several smaller towns that are not quite suburbs that would keep you closer to the outdoors and rural life, but are still close enough to Knoxville that you could be there in less than an hour. These include Maryville, Oak Ridge, Norris and Lenoir City that come time mind.
I have lived all over the South and would chose East Tennessee over any other place I have lived given the choice.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

I lived close to Knoxville for about 30 years. I don't believe anyone has mentioned Oak Ridge Sportsmans Assoc. in Oak Ridge as a great place to shoot; a TWRA (State DNR) range in Knoxville, and a couple of other range in the area.
Good fishing right in Knoxville (Ft. Loudoun) and other good reservoirs close by - Tellico, Melton Hill, Douglas, and Cherokee. No matter what part of Knoxville you live in, there is a lake or two on your side of town.

If river or mountain stream trout and smallmouth fishing is your thing then you are in luck. Same goes for reservoir fishing for bass, stripers, catfish etc.
If you like college sports it does not get much better than football Saturdays in Knoxville. I just hope you like orange.
Knoxville is just big enough to have decent theatre, museum and music events. It has plentiful shopping and outlet malls close by in Pigeon Forge/Sevierville. It is still small enough to an element of rural East Tennessee to it though.
There a several smaller towns that are not quite suburbs that would keep you closer to the outdoors and rural life, but are still close enough to Knoxville that you could be there in less than an hour. These include Maryville, Oak Ridge, Norris and Lenoir City that come time mind.
I have lived all over the South and would chose East Tennessee over any other place I have lived given the choice.
Small world man, I too lived in Maryville and Morristown, all though as a kid and not an adult. My home is in Alabama, but man there is something special about east Tenn. One of the very few places I would ever consider living.

If listening to nationalist conservative for five minutes gives you headache choose NC. If listening to progressive or progressive moderate for five minutes gives you headache choose TN. It has taken many generations of carefully selected inbreeding to produce this level of ignorance or maybe its just all industrial pollution in the water in Eastern Europe that has impaired your mental development. In any event why don't you do the world a favor and get run over by a bus you no account servile scum.
