Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Just wondering how many of you folks are living in the state

you were born in?

Lived in Michigan my whole life!

Not me - born in MI, moved to CO, back to MI and then WI all before I was 4. Later @ 22 moved to MI again, then to CA then to TX. I'm now back in WI.

Escaped form the land of my birth, Californication, in 1993. Never been sorry about it. Wish others of my clan would do likewise. Life is SOOOOOO much better up here.

Texas born and raised

Born in heaven, no need to move. Only two seasons to deal with(hot and cold), good hunting(of species I wish to hunt), good fishing, State gov. stays off my back. What not to like.

MN.

I love it, woods and water and such...but AZ gets more enticing every year. I imagine we'll end up splitting time there. Great country.

Born in Renton, Washington.

I've only left for military service and law school.

Back home now in God's country!!

Born here in Arkansas and was gone during my Army career but came right back here as soon as that was done.

I ain't leavin'.

Born in Little Falls, NY. Have lived in Ohio, Missouri, Hawaii, Maryland, Virgina, Massachusetts, Florida, Oregon, and Washington. Have visited all fifty states.

California. The Army made me American. I am hoping to move near Spokane in ten years.

California. "Bulldog, this is Spooky. Where do you want the fires?"

"Put it on the compound. It's theirs now."

Not me. Montanan now through and through, well almost.

Sure am I was born in Spokane, WA. I am a fifth generation WA Native on my dad's side on the west side and fourth Generation on my mom's side on the east side.

Live on a piece of property that has belonged to my dad's family since before Washington became a State in 1889.

Live in same city I was born and raised in.

still live on my property that I was raised on. Killing deer where I started killing them 50yrs ago..

Born in DC, and moved to Md when?? 3 maybe. Moved to where I am now at age 5. Lived here my whole life. Beautiful state, when you get away from the cities, and go west a bit. Politics suck, and we call it The People's Republic of Md. Seems the goverment here likes to compete with Mass and Californicate, to see who can be the most obnoxious.

Born in Missouri, only left for 1.5 years to move closer to a job on the Kansas side of the metro, picked up a lifetime resident hunting license before I crossed back over (one of my best purchases to date).

Was born about three blocks from here.

I was born in the U. P., moved away as a child, and moved back in '95 after a long spell.

Born in Beaumont, Texas.....not my choice, my parents chose that location. Moved north about 70 miles to Deep East Texas to a town of some 200 people (Chester) when I was 8 and have always lived within 50 miles of where I am.

I "strayed" a bit to Lufkin (45 miles away) for a few years, but ended up returning to my childhood home at Chester. I plan to die here....although if the world is at all fair (and the Lotto comes through) I "might" consider moving to the Hill Country just west of Austin (two daughters live near Austin).....but very much still in Texas. Hell, I was 14 years old before I ever "traveled" out of Texas.....when we drove across the bridge at Orange just to say I had been out of the state.

I know Texas is a bit different in some ways from other states (I could easily move 800 miles from my present home and still be in Texas), but I just can't imagine living in any other state. I've worked in many states (including every state east of the Rocky Mountains and a fair sprinkling of those west). Because of sports I traveled and went to multiple states. In fact I now work on the East Coast from Maine to the Carolina's......but still live in Texas. I'd much rather fly to work than live anywhere else.

I know everyone thinks "their" state is somehow better that any other, but even now (my wife is an Upper State New York native and HATES the Texas summers) I will only consider a semi-move. I "might" consider a summer home somewhere up north (Montana and Idaho are prime candidates), but Texas will always be where I'm from.

Born is E. Washington, my official address is in Oregon, but have spent the last three years working in SoCal. Can't wait to get home.

I do have dreams of moving to the area of Lewiston, Idaho, but surveying jobs are a little scarce there right now.
