1. No matter where you go--you'll always be considered an outsider pilgrim/immigrant. Here in Colorado, we know all about this in spades as you well know. If you don't have friends or close family where you move, life can be lonely & miserable. You can only fish & hunt so much & the other 99.9% of your time will be spent living your daily life.
Not necessarily accurate unless you are one unpleasant SOB.
The very fact that you fish and hunt means that you will be welcomed with open arms at 99% of the 'Sportsmen's' clubs you will visit. Clubs are always looking for new members and it's easy to make new and lasting friends.
What better way to get to know a new area? I did just that here when I moved.
I've found this to be near universal... I was only unwelcome at one skeet club downstate due to my casual attire and lack of an imported car.
