Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire States You Would NEVER Live In

Nowhere east of the mighty Mississip, nowhere north of Missouri except maybe Wyoming, Montana, Idaho or maybe South Dakota. Not the left coast. Thinking there MIGHT be places in Nebraska or Kansas.

Kansas is intriguing, but really just because of my experiences in Wichita. Driving around town looking for a place to have lunch was actually pretty stress-free---almost pleasant. It took me a few days to realize that the reason was that I wasn't behind a f^$*#@* truck everywhere I went, like it is down here.

If my wife thought differently I'd probably pack up and head for Nevada where no one else wants to go. Maybe even Utah.

I'll probably just live out my life right here in Texas unless something either really great or something really weird happens.

I've shot a lot of rattlesnakes that never rattled. FWIW

All the others..........except maybe MT or WY.

I wouldn't live anywhere you can't freely excercise your 2nd Amendment rights.

And curds.

And blocks / wheels of cheese.

Never say never. Things can happen outside your control that cause you to do what you previously thought impossible.

Everywhere but MT or WY

Most people use the word “never” without fully comprehending what it means.

Steve you just moved there...hate it already?. what don't you like?....bob

I do - I will NEVER live in those places because the events that would force me to - means those are no longer states. Geography wise - they might be there but not as political states.

The absolute worst would be New Jersey IMO.

Gun laws and urban sprawl as bad or nearly as bad as any of the other far left states but with absolutely nothing going for it.

Hawaii at least has great weather and beautiful beaches. CA might be the second worst but it has some scenic beauty and interesting climates. NY has the cachet of being world known and the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains. I can’t think of a thing to like or want to go see in NJ.

But but.......You just moved here ????????

Nothing blue or pretty damn cold. Probably stands for south of the MD line. pretty easy to chose.

Some damn fine folks I've met in places that just get to cold for me.

hillstadt.... are you excluding Alaska, which has more coastline than the rest of the US put together? We are also the farthest eastern, western, and northern state, which is pretty cool. Largest of course - pick your starting point and direction, there are at least two different ways to travel 1500 miles in a straight line and only be half-way across the state.

Problem is, for awhile there it was filling up- must have 750,000 people.

Now , I think, we are losing population. Just not fast enough.

What about the U.S. permanently inhabited territories?

American Samoa
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands
Puerto Rico
U.S. Virgin Islands

Nope. After just a few days, such islands start closing in on me. Some Alaska islands be OK, probably.

I am pleased with Texas and Idaho so the rest are moot.

Lots of great places to live. New England, the south, PNW…..I’d probably skip much of the mid west. Western Dakotas and Nebraska are cool though. I could do that.

Shame CA is so politically perverted. It would hands down be my #1 choice.

As it is, I’ll happily make SC work. I’d like to be in a place to split time in the future.

I could live anywhere with decent hunting, good fishing, and good economic opportunities.

What's amazing to me is how many people live in areas, wish for something better, but don't do what they have available. Doers tend to do stuff no matter where they are at. And people who make excuses and don't really get out much do the exact same thing no matter where they are.
