Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Considering a move

I'd get the [bleep] out of MN regardless of the weather.

I can't speak to any place west of the Mississippi, but North Eastern Alabama isn't like the rest of the state.

The foothills of Appalachia extend into it. Guntersville always struck me as a little bit of paradise in that area - specifically the triangle between Guntersville, Scottsboro and Gadsden. There is even a skiing resort (resort is a stretch) around Mentone , AL, south of Chattanooga.

North Carolina is a very popular state to move to, however I am partial to Knoxville, TN.

With you desire to be close to hunting and fishing but also have access to modern medical care and be a professional, that might be a great option for you.

If from the north you will find most southern state way too hot in the summer time.. I have worked all over . From Prudhoe bay Ak to the gulf coast. Right now I am in Salt Lake City.. And must say utah may be the ideal place.. Maybe a little south of here away from the city. Lots of hunting and fishing and for the most part mild winter. Summers are hot but not humid like the Deep South.

I would agree, it's probably cabin fever. However, this winter has been particually long and cold. I bet we've had 50 days that have been below zero. Today was -18 when I went to start my car for work at 6:00am.

With weather in the 20's (above) this week, we'll have a different outlook on things.

But when I retire, I'm not going to live here in the winter. There is just too much about winter I don't like. I'll leave in Jan when I'm sick of it and come back in June.

My parents wintered every year in Mesa AZ after they retired and loved it.

According to the weatherguessers, you've had 41 so far - and the record is 45, back in '81='82 - and yes, I remember that winter VERY well..

I hear ya - but I ain't waitin' for Januray.. About mid-November I'm OUTTA here and won't be back for at least 5 months..

Went to the RV show over the weekend.. Coupla them big 5ers with the (either) rear or front living looked MIGHTY inviting.. Even the wifey-poo thought they were plenty comfy.. Probably get one once I'm too old to ride the HD... THEN hook it up to the F-350 and head south until people I ask reply with, "what's 'snow'?"
