Moved to Mid-MO in 1991, so about half of my 61 years has been here. Some winters are not much fun anymore. The deer hunting is very good, if you have land you can hunt - fortunately, I do. The bird hunting used to be pretty good, and I spent many winter days chasing Mr. Bob around watching some excellent GSP's working them. If you like the outdoors, as most on this forum do, it's got plenty of opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, biking, canoeing, camping etc... I personally prefer the less humid climate of the western states, but, we're pretty much going to stay here as we both have been blessed with long-lived parents who we'd prefer to stay fairly close to. Overall, it leans conservative politically, so you could do a lot worse than MO.
