Evidently the hype confused you. The Dakota rifle company is in South Dakota!

North Dakota ranks #1 in the happiest states in America. In a couple of other rankings it is #3 but that still puts it ahead of a lot of others. Would I want to live there - no thanks. http://www.businessinsider.com/happiest-states-in-america-2014-2

It is only second to South Dakota, in my book.
I prefer classic.

I like where I live, but would consider moving if not for family. Any state with more cows than people would be great.

I've never lived or been to ND. But I had a lot of friends who were stationed there in the Air Force. They liked ND except for the loong Winters.

I figure the people who just wanted to make a quick buck will leave, and the good ones will stay.

I grew up in MN, but we could see both Dakota's from our front yard. I wouldn't mind living in either one.
If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again

Born and raised there.
Great grandparents homesteaded up by the Canadian border.
Miss the small town/city pace and lifestyle.
There is a sense of freedom that the wide open prairie offers.

North Dakota sucks, too cold and too desolate. Much better here.  bucktail, that must have been 10 - 20 miles from here. Shhh, the Glacial Lakes region is the best kept secret in South Dakota.

great grand dad was register of deeds for Towner county. Lived in Cando, and had a 160 acres north of there. Been to the 160 acres to see what it looked like in the area. Have been through the state a couple of times. Was with some guys on an Elk cull a few years ago at T. R. Park. I like trees too much to love it out there, but could learn to live there, I guess. Had some high power/long range shooters come to Perry from there.
