Lloyd,
Having made the move from MN to NC I will tell you this. I traded a brutal winter, and surprising to most a humid, buggy summer for much more reasonable seasons. The spring here is a delight, not a muddy, sloppy mess. I lost the instant access to great grouse and pheasant hunting. I have found that I can return to MN for 4 to 6 weeks in the fall to get the best the of grouse and pheasant seasons, Oct. and part of Nov. plus firearms deer if I choose. I did not choose deer this year as the weather was bad. I hold out the option though. NC has reasonable if not good trout fishing, no steelhead, but some "toothy old men" none the less! Would I move back? Nope, I would be too old to want to deal with the winter after I don't hunt. I would consider MI to have an equally brutal winter/ buggy humid summer, can't say though. I will say if I had not moved I would be satisfied to finish up in MN. One final thought I'm considering, motorhome!
