It is a great area as noted by those that know above. We bought up in the mountains about 15 miles NE of Sandpoint. Chose the area as it is a bit remote yet close to a hospital, decent shopping, etc. For big shopping we just do a run to CDA. Plenty of hunting and fishing with an azzload of public land minutes away. In the time we have owned, 9 years, we have had a couple of years with very, very healthy snow dumps otherwise just right. The other seasons are great and you just cannot beat summer there. We are pleased with our pick.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

I sure hope so!
if you look out here, the Black hills is where you need to start, very mild winters in the southern hills compared to the rest of the midwest. plus I know a certain elkhunter who lives a couple hours away who would probably like to hunt with us

You have to love a place where you can leave a package of chips out open and they don't get soggy....

Do you think he could keep up!? So, where in the Hills would you suggest? It looks like the biggest town around is Rapid City?

Rapid City is an hour north of where I live, and it is doing well economically speaking and cost of living is fair. good sized airport and lots of hunting opportunities close by. a few years back an outdoors magazine said rapid city was a sportsmans dream as far as making a living, hunting/fishing opportunities and weather, along with a bunch of other factors. Hill city and custer are both nice, lots of tourists in the summer. Hot springs has the best weather and drier climate. housing costs are pretty close to the same all over. regardless of where you live you can be hunting within 15-20 minutes of home easily. feel free to PM me and I can give you my number if you are serious about moving out here. the last 3 years I've shot 6 antelope and 24 deer  not to mention turkey, pheasant, grouse and coyotes. multiple tags for each species available

Riding through Custer St Park screams tourist, like a lot of places back east, IE Gatlinburg outside of GSMNP. The buffalo are cool, but once you've seen 'em, you've seen 'em.

The west side of Bob Marshall looks like a higher, grander version of East TN below timberline. Lots of the same understory flora. When horses stop walking those trails, there isn't a trail for very long.
Funniest schit I read all day. Goddamm you're a riot. Travis You've never been to either place....ever.

No, a few hours north of Dothan, in Huntsville.
Still, the climate between Dothan an me doesn't change.
I've seen it five below in Huntsville.

Unlike you, I can read something a tad more than a comic book.
