Gentlemen....thank-you all! This was somewhat tongue-in-cheek but... I am seriously looking for the last good place for myself and my immediate family. Colorado (as is much of the West) is going California on me at such a high rate of speed anymore (which really bugs me). Hunting the public lands out here is also getting very crowded (at least compared to what I've been used to for the last 30-years or so, this year was pretty tough). Classic old guy lament, I suppose. My wife is more-oriented towards cooler climates (really, I could go anywhere that wasn't crowded & totally commie) and a somewhat slower pace is always appealing. The usual balancing act, right?
mc: Arizona would be only for small (month-long?), bird-hunting breaks (nothing permanent). I was doing a fairly big job at Sky Harbour in the early 2000s for several years and really enjoyed hunting the desert down there for quail.
