My wife and I are recently retired - at least partially for me. We are looking at places a little warmer than Wisconsin for the winter months and really do not care for Florida. Can you give me some suggestions in West Texas for nicer places to stay for 4-8 weeks at a time. It would really be nice to hunt and shoot clays in temperatures about 15oF with less than 2 feet of snow. I just passed on a late season grouse hunt here because we are suppose to have wind chills at -20oF. That's tough on the fingers, toes and dog.
