Best place to move?

If you aren’t dead set on moving back out west, take a look at Southwestern Virginia, southern West Virginia, Western North Carolina. There are some nice places around and between Beckley, Lexington, Roanoke, Asheville, etc.

Lynchburg, VA is also young and conservative thanks to Liberty. Good hospitals too. Good hiking nearby and you should be able to find affordable private hunting land if you are patient. The city schools aren’t very good, but there are good places around there in the adjacent areas.

Good luck!

Shhhhhhh

Cheyanne Wyoming should be on your list, close enough to your wifes friends in Denver, good hunting, and its growing like a weed.

I can understand you not liking Charlottesville, unfortunately most major cities across the country seem to be the same way. But it is close to mountains and public land though, so at least for the next year you can explore a bit.

Q is right about looking into other parts of Va if you like it here but don't like Charlottesville. I'm fairly local to Lynchburg. Its small, decent, lower cost of living than Charlottesville, but lower pay also. I don't know the income possibilities of medical careers here though. We have 2 hospitals. One is a general hospital the other is for birthing and mental patients.

Hunting is mostly private land here, but if you're willing to drive an hour or two you can find a good bit of public land and mountains. I don't know how affordable leasing is, as I'm too broke, so I only hunt my small piece of private and the surrounding public. Good luck in your search.

Plenty of public in this area, but shhhhhh
