I'm ready to move. After 74 years here in northern NV the Californians have run me out. I need somewhere that's inexpensive, has a decent climate, and has some bigger fishing lakes in close proximity. Bird hunting is also a requirement.
Your informed suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, many influential Europeans are buying homes in Portugal. It is at Western end of EU, therefore, it will probably be nice place to live if SHTF in rest of Europe. You can look into climate and living standard, but I bet it is quite nice. European elites are far from stupid, therefore, what they choose probably represents a nice option.
I'm seriously looking at Tennessee - very good on 2A, no income tax, Republican government that hasn't changed in decades and very good home prices outside of the big cities. Crime is low in the small towns (only place I'd live btw) and from what I've read about availability and quality of medical care, it's very good.
I know nothing about hunting/fishing opportunities there.

I agree, but too far east, and you need to own, lease, or trespass to hunt.
Actually, there are many state and federal parks for hunting. We made the same type of decision you are now making five years ago. We settled on Soddy Daisy, TN. Located in the foothills, has one of the best bass fishing lakes in the US and excellent hunting for deer, turkey and hogs. Tow hours from the Smokies and centrally located to outstanding hospitals and larger city's like: 30 minutes to Chattanooga, 2 hours to Atlanta, Nashville, and Knoxville. We have a large elderly population and home prices are good. I can't do anything about being too far East. Good luck to you.

Check out Central Washington.....Near Moses Lake has all the prerequisites you mention. Climate is amazingly good most of the year.

I know that area well. Before I went NUTZ and sold my house in Bayview we went by there a lot. WA politics, taxes, and laws spook me.

And high crime, 90 per cent Mexican pop there now. Desert, no trees, hot as ballz all summer. Quail and duck hunting is ok.

Didn't know you were in the market Bruce, we sold my parents place in Ranchester WY, 13 miles from Sheridan in June. Right on the Tongue River. I'm regretting not buying it already.
Big lake about 40 miles away, a river, premo upland bird and big game hunting, cheap houses and you couldn't ask for nicer weather.
No Walmarts, only one fast food joint and a chitty old grocery store. Hospital stuff might also be an issue.
Very few liberal douche bags and zero you know who's............
"...you couldn't ask for nicer weather" LMAO...Sam, glad to see you still have your sense of humor after this summer!!! BTW, how are the Huns and Sharptail numbers holding up?

I met 2 different families from California on vacation that were planning on retiring in Tennessee in a few years. Both wanted to be in Eastern TN

That can be good or bad depending on how they tax pensions and SS, assuming there is no sales tax. If they have good income tax advantages for seniors. you might be better off there with no sales tax. Then there are the states like Idaho with both. They get you in all directions.

Is there any decent fishing on Dworshak?
Bruce, I never got to fish it when I was up near that area. Had a number of friends that did though. Excellent smallmouth fishing there, and kokanee too. Folks get grouse in the area too I think. Motor up lake, park in a cove and go after them. Might be somewhat steep for us old fellers though.
Don't forget the Snake and Clearwater rivers are right there. Can't get too far up the latter before it turns into steelhead/salmon wade fishing though. But there's great smallmouth, some crappie and catfish, and even sturgeon in the Snake, along with steelhead and chinook depending on the returns and seasons.
Lots of small Army Corps places to hunt quail and pheasant. If you get to know some folks you can get after Huns, and the other two in the farmlands. Chukar too, but we know what that habitat is like.
I like Lewiston and Moscow, but no big lakes close by.
Not entirely correct. Lewiston is about an hour from Orofino on US 12 with Dworshak Dam and the big reservoir behind it. You wouldn't be too far from bird shooting in eastern Washington's wheat country either. I've only been there once ... it's pretty.
Gentlemen, just checking to see who is paying attention....lol
Are you saying it was satire?
It would be a wonderful place for a guy like me........................20 years ago when I didn't need doctors much.
better yet, 25+ years ago when I was single...........................this woman would NEVER move there.
I've seen Sam's pics and videos...............................his statement about the weather was the honest to goodness truth.
It really isn't that bad.
Don’t fugk yourself dude. .
Before you know it there’ll be vrbos, subarus, manbuns all over!
He's lying and want's some company.
Lonely up there since the 'flave left.
And the weather is brutal, he's not fooling me.
I always thought that Mr. Sam and Mr. Jim were neighbors of sorts. I guess I'll have to actually drive up there one of these days to see the real world of the Hi Line.

It's worse than here in the Outback of Cali.
Neighbors up there means they live in the same corner of the State, and it takes less than 10 gallons of gas in a car to get there. 20 if they're in the truck, which they usually are.

Rem, while I've never met Jim, we are hi-line brothers.
Bear lake, Idaho would actually check several boxes...... but it has a real winter. The raspberries might off set that, dunno. Medical care would be an issue if needed.
I grew up in Lewiston and did a lot of fishing on Dworshak. The kokanee fishing is very good and there are some really big smallmouth in the reservoir. Bird hunting is very good and there are a ton of turkeys if you like to turkey hunt.
I hear the same thing more folks ought to move there.
Have 3 other members of my family that have moved out, one more to go.
Move in and replace the balance.
A little rain, lightning, and thunder there the other night, cleared the air up. Beautiful this time of year,. Warmish water in the ocean, girls have their bikinis on.

Tennessee doesn’t tax your pensions or Social security. That is all done at the federal level. Sales tax runs about 9.5%. Works out pretty good, if your poor and don’t buy much you don’t pay much. Seems fair to me. Land prices are going nuts. Guy who just bought the 8 acre lot next to me paid almost 6 times as much per acre as we paid 6 years ago.

This is true and probably seems odious to someone used to hunting good public land. However, if you can find a place to hunt you have seasons measured in months not days and generous bag limits compared to what you are used to. "Big Game" means whitetail deer and that is pretty much it. Plenty of places to fish but plenty of other fisherman to keep you company.
Not trying to sell you on the South, its full and I wouldn't mind getting out. My family has been in GA and SC since before the inception of the country and I have a lot of folks here. Only thing keeping me. I'd like to move to Alaska.....always been a daydream of mine. Bring on the brutal winters.......keeps the riffraff out....for the most part at least.

Upstate New York has almost zero negros. If it wasn't for the taxes and gun laws it would be a perfect place to live for 3/4's of the year. Alaska sounds good till you talk to old people that have lived there and can afford to spend the winter here in the SE.

Not sure that 20Gal of fuel in a pickup would get you from one to the other without a tail-wind. Certainly not should you couple the ubiquitous stock-trailer to said pickup.

Sand point! I just got home from there. Seemed like a nice place.
Bb
We like it there and have friends in Sandpoint. They own Sandpoint Pawn. The housing costs have gotten out of control there and throughout all the panhandle. We had a small house on a great lot in Bayview but sold it 1 1/2 year ago. That was not a smart move on our part, but on our small fixed income we couldn't maintain two houses. It's worth a small fortune now. It took me 6 minutes from my front door to drive to the marina and get onto my boat.
It was on 1/3 acre, and it had a guest cabin (lower left in photo). We spent money fixing it up and ended up needing to sell it.
I haven’t read through this thread but the higher altitude areas of AZ would have bird hunting and some lakes. Without getting to extreme in cold temps if you pick the right area.

Dworshak resovior isn't exactly small and it's nearby
Not to mention the Snake, Columbia, and Clearwater rivers.
There's Riggins I'd, right on the Salmon River. Or Grangeville up on the hill with just a skip one way to the Salmon or a skip the other way to the Snake River.
Just trade your lake boat for an Aluminum river jet boat. Hell's Canyon is waiting.
Have you considered doing the snowbird thing? A place in central South Dakota from April through about Christmas? Then winter over on someplace like the gulf coast?
I love that area. I was there yesterday. Anything south of I-90 on hwy 3 is outstanding and there's lots of lakes. I enjoy Idaho but it's definitely getting crowded. I'm considering living on my superyacht fulltime or at least near full time.
