Does anything suck about living in Kootenai County?

Namely near Coeur D'Alene?

It will if you move there . . . . . .

CCI is hiring in Lewiston--wanna make rimfire ammo?

BMT

If I lived in the south, I'd be packing and not asking ridiculous questions.



Travis

Nah, my job allows me to work from home. I just want out of this stupid heat and humidity.

laughin'

Workin' on it man. Just trying to nail down a destination.

HugAoboma, sorry the devil made me do it. jackass/Oboma same same.

to answer your question the down side around Cdl. is the liberals. Post falls is more conservative as is Hayden.
Rathdrum is nice, so is Athol. yeah that is pronounced like you have a lisp. Sandpoint is a mix of cons/pros. as in conservative/progressives. from there north it is conservative, but the temperature is colder. cost of living is higher south to north. north part of the panhandle most of the road traffic is Canadians and border patrol.

you want cold and dry?

Real estate prices. It is spendy. Most middle-class types have to move north and commute in. When you see that lake you'll understand why money moves there. Looks like Switzerand or Norway.

People still point guns at each other over water all over the west. If you don't mind living in a damn desert, help yourself. I've seen enough desert....

There are a few places like N. Idaho and NW MT that aren't as dry as a popcorn fart, but they are filling up fast. Kalispell for example.

awesome! Thanks for the tips!

Cold and dry is awesome! I like 4 actual identifiable seasons.

BTW, my screen name comes from the idea of patronizing and insulting Democrats. Taken from their Mascot, the jackass

How is the hunting in that particular area? Would you suggest hunting farther North in Idaho or more south?

Ultimately, I guess I really don't care about the politics of my neighbors as much as I care about the politics of the City/State and the laws that directly impact me. Idaho is a red state so I'm happy to start with that foundation.

this is the size of whitetails here but this particular one is protected

this falls candidate.

that candidate looks tasty!

Now the hunt for a piece of land in the area begins....

Thank you....but I'll stay here and have sweat running down me Irish arse instead of having to dress up like a friggin Eskimo 9 months out of a year when I want to go out and shoot! Besides....you folks know how to cook for schitt!!

I missed the details in the antlers the first time I looked here....

Alabama has been great to me, but then again, I base this upon being born and raised in Upstate NY....

I miss the seasons of NY, and the Mountains, Lakes, and Tree's. I do not miss the politics....

The politics of Alabama are second to none imo. I love this State for what the people here believe in. What I cannot stand is not being able to enjoy the outdoors with 90*+ heat and 80%+ humidity for 5 months of the year.

The North West looks to be the best of both worlds.

hey now.....its usually only 6 months not 9

Before buying why not rent for a few months to a year and be sure you buy were you want to live. CDA, Lewiston, and surrounding area's in some ways can be quite different, yet both north-central Idaho.

pm sent.

The places I've been checking out don't even really get all that cold.

20*-30* isn't bad, especially if you're out and moving about.


I like that it's dry too. Then the Summers, with average temps in the 70's, and dry as well.....what's not to love!?

that's the plan, actually

It can get as hot as two titties rubbin' together in Lewiston. Heat collects in that valley. Too damn dry there for my tastes

What? Not a fan of cleavage TAK?

You could always hold your head under water?




Travis

WTF?
Just last weekend, you stated you had never been to Lewiston.
Does 100 melt your lady parts?

I could never figure out why all those Louisianan and Texan folk were so good at cooking.

Then I figured out it was because they had nothing else to do other than stand in front of a pit, or a pot full of gumbo for 36 hours straight.

Damn good eats regardless.



Travis

It keeps the bugs away, sort of.

I'd like to see that post. I've driven through Lewiston a couple of times. My daughter doesn't live far from there.

I'm a leg sorta guy. Not a leg as in NAP of course.

How the [bleep] would you know? You know as much about cooking as you do rifles.



Travis

Standby for a courtesy response.



Travis

LMAO.

Then a gopher shooting invite?

Living in Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming is good living no matter the politics. Just remember, whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting which means the Feds are trying really really hard to destroy all three states.

Other than this welcome aboard.

TAK hasn't graduated to that level of bullschit yet.

He's stickin' with the Green Beret routine for now.



Travis

Like I told you azzwipe, I got documents. Put up the rifle and you get to see 'em.

"Much" also includes Lewiston/Clarkston and the highway north back to Pullman

Which rifle?



Travis

What about the lady parts?
It's hot out there.

The Californians....
Hunting isn't typical western here. It is THICK in most places.



PM me if you have specific questions.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...070/Re_WTS_15_Acres_in_Idaho#Post8860070

Thanks nim

I wouldn't know typical Western hunting. I've spent a lot of time hunting in the Adirondaks and Catskills of NY as well as the swamplands of southern Georgia and middle Alabama.

I really like a dense forest though....

hug, if you want to go farther north I have two places for sale in boundary county. off grid self contained year round access.

view

You won't find any dense forest in Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming like you are use to.

Wow! Is there anything that can't be found on the Campfire!?


That's a hell of a nice piece of land, and a great price!

Services to property and well in already too. Ka-Ching.

Idaho's whitetails are underrated. There are some dandies. In general, whitetails are in the north and mulies in the south. With a few exceptions, the limit is 1/yr.

Both the hunting and Fishing are World Class in the Idaho Panhandle. Lots of Public Land with large populations of Whitetail and Mule Deer along with Elk, Moose, Black Bear and Cougar and a large selection of winged critters including both the water and the dry land variety. The fishing isn't to bad either in both the lakes and streams, There is Sturgon, several varieties of Trout, catfish, perch, bass and other panfish in both the lakes and streams of the Idaho Panhandle..

Yeah, I'll admit that one has me biting my nails and deep in thought.

I would love it. Wife wants to be closer to shopping.....ugh....

Listeniing to TAK give advice about Idaho is like listening to TAK give advice about hunting. Or rifles.

Even if they are underrated in Idaho, there are no Elk or Moose in Alabama....

CDL seems pretty yuppie to me, but I'm kinda a redneck

You can get some cold snaps, but winter in the area is not that bad. I drive through CDL and Spokane once or twice winter, CDL is usually where the roads turn from snow to wet. Spokane is actually a pretty big town now with a decent airport and hospital 30 minutes away. Plenty of boating ,fishing, and hunting in the area.

I've also been eyeballing your town!

He's been warned.....


HAJ, better get it before the next Californian sees it....

You ain't kiddin'!

That's a great piece of land, and for that price, I'd be happy.

I like that it's remote....


Wife, not so much.....

women....

tell her that is what the internet is for.... Amazon delivers

I did.

Now I have to make my own steak tonight....

Heat here in 28% humidity can be brutal, also.
Which is why God created beer....for some.

She only needs the really big city once a month, right?

P.S. I'm trying to help here.

I'm about to set her up with a one bedroom apartment in the city. She can stay there. The boys and I will live it up on the land

I probably could convince her of the Sandpoint area, but that plot off of 200 is just too far out.

Now, a place south of Post Falls would be real nice...

http://www.trulia.com/property/3154355366-2303-Bayview-Careywood-ID-83809

It's cold here, not much shopping, toothless rednecks everywhere, it's a living hell on earth. We have more gun shops than clothing stores, and one set of false teeth we all share


CDL is a bunch milder in the winter, and butload more shopping, places to eat, and "cultural" things to do. You can even sport a mullet and cruise Spokane on Saturday night.

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.

Or asking your dumbazz how to build something.

That's what I'm talking about!

Great piece of land, and the extra buildings are perfect!

The house on the other hand really needs a lot of work....

so, what you're saying is that you need some east coast neighbors?

The good news is that if you have friends in California that you've lost track of, you have a fair to middlin' shot at rekindling the friendship in Coeur d'alene.

From what I've read they have similarly phuucked up the Wind River area in WY. Real Estate prices there are sky high, but still cheaper than LA, which is what enabled the bastards to sell and screw up the market there.

Elk you can hunt every year but we're limited on moose - only 1 bull and 1 cow per lifetime.

Plus if you live near Cour de Lane it's near State Line, Idaho and there is a Cabelas just off I-90. Great place for the wife to shop. It's only ten minutes from Cour de Lane.

In addition to the info above you should watch this video before considering a move to Montana.

Funniest schit I read all day.

Goddamm you're a riot.



Travis

HAJ, I live 15 minutes west of CDA. I have been a lot of places but few offer everything this area does. It's got its flaws, but at the end of the day, 50 lakes in 50 miles, blue ribbon trout streams, hunt anything from grouse to moose right close to home....tough to best.

thanks HC

I actually have some properties up on my screen from the Post Falls area...

I like the way you think, sir!

You're in Dothan IIRC?

You will think you have found paradise on earth

Found one! HAJ House

Stay out Wyoming at all costs, you will not be happy here. Winters are long and cold, they start about the 20th of August and last until around the 1st of June. Summer is usually the 7th of July and maybe the morning of the 8th. The wind blows incessantly, 24-7, a calm day is when you can keep your hat on your head without a chin strap. There are no cultural events like cello recitals, gay poetry readings or book signings by liberal activist movie stars. This is due to the fact the natives HAVE no culture, they are all a bunch of beer swilling, tobacco spitting, gun toting ignorant rednecks to whom getting dressed to go out to dinner means a clean pair of jeans and a shirt that's been ironed , and never mind the cow manure on the boots. We have been "discovered" by Californians, refugees from Seattle and Portland, along with a whole herd of citified folks from Back East. This has driven real estate prices out of sight, I just last week saw a 1/4 acre lot with an outhouse and a wall tent go for $350,000. Fishing and hunting truely suck, you cant wet a line or walk in the woods without getting run over by a 4-wheeler with a Colorado license plate. Plus, there�s a real good chance you will perish in the volcanic explosion of the Yellowstone caldera.
No, better you should go to Montana, I hear it's real nice up there.

No, a few hours north of Dothan, in Huntsville.

Still, the climate between Dothan an me doesn't change.

bwahahahahaha!

When I was young and dumb I did the Amway thing. Too funny!

I am not interested in WY. You boys are allergic to tree's there and stuff....

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.

How about South Dakota?

Certainly worth looking at!

You know you have guest coming your way sooner than later

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

Amen!

and yes, I have no doubt you can keep up

Well, it's better than ND.......

You could do worse. 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.

You've never been to either place....ever.

There ya go.

I've seen it five below in Huntsville.

Watchin' weather channel isn't for the faint of heart, huh TAK?

I don't have cable azzwipe. I was living in Huntsville when it got down to minus 5F. It was JAN 2003

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

Good thing you stay inside!

Iris is a national treasure..

I have a place in NW MT for sale, about 90 miles NW of Kalispell. 225 million acres of National Forest around you and Lake Koocanusa. Here is a link http://www.kijiji.ca/v-house-for-sa...2bath-home-near-lake-koocanusa/589427573

PM me if you would like more pictures or info.

BTW that is about 150 miles to Sandpoint

i wish i could afford a place like that! very nice

ked

you and me both!

Thanks, it's a great place to live. I'm in CO now for work and I'm not sure when I can be back up that way. Pretty mild winters, lots of wildlife and just a beautiful part of the country. You might consider looking around the area if you make it up that way to check things out.
