You will love that area. Nice and clean and LOTS of outdoor activities. Should be more than enough public hunting. For fishing, just decide which direction you want to go that day.
The NHRA comes to town (Brainerd) every August. If you haven't experienced top fuel drag racing first hand, it is a must do.
The big ice fishing tournament on Gull Lake is a site to behold as well.
The Fleet Farm in Baxter is top notch (at least it was last time I was there)
There are a lot of little taverns that serve great food and the people are friendly.
It's an all around great area.

There sure are a lot of America haters that want to live here...
