Considering a move with family need suggestions

[wapitibob]

I see this kind of attitude from people that live in Oregon pretty often. If it’s that bad, why not move?

E. Oregon is just about the best place on earth to live.

I get it. The winter of 92/93 and 16/17 was way more detrimental than measure 18 for our herds. I'm not justifying the stupidity in this state, but it really doesn't affect myself. It will eventually, guaranteed. I live very comfortably. My truck stays unlocked, my boat sits in my driveway without a lock and full of decoys and gear. I drive 5 minutes to world class waterfowling, my favorite eastern Oregon deer and elk units are decent(I saw 36 different bucks this year), I always have an opportunity on a bull on our 5 day hunt. If I don't draw, I'll guarantee myself an OTC blacktail 15 minutes from house. OTC rosy tags, I kill them, but I don't like hunting elk local. At low tide I dig clams, at high tide I eat Dungeness crab any day I want. Caught tuna 17 miles off the beach this year, so 19 miles from my house. My wife shuttles me for my solo drift boat steelhead trips. The take out is 4 miles away.
If I didn't live where I live in this screwed up state, I'd be absolutely miserable.
I'd rather stick a stick in my eye than live in the Willamette valley.
When the island gets covered here, then I'll be the first to jump ship.

you have sneaky good surf too

I’m 30 with a wife and a newborn, we currently live in NH and are considering a move to another state with lower cost of living pretty much open to any ideas right now as we are in the research phase. We currently have good schools and healthcare and a good community. Hunting is at the top of things I’d like to continue doing, but other hobbies include motorcycles and sports cars, fishing, hiking, camping, mountain biking. We like to occasionally go to the city for food and drinks. Do any of you guys live in an area that has all or most of this and can you share some suggestions on states or even more specifically towns/communities to look into?

I love Iowa. Don't get me wrong, I have "what would it be like" dreams of living in the mountains but cost of living is low, we aren't terribly far from family, I can hunt turkey and big midwest whitetails everywhere but particularly enjoy the NE corner in the driftless area, and I chase lots of pheasants all over so we are pretty happy here.

Middle Tennessee has literally everything on your list. Stay south of Nashville & at least 10 miles from I24/65/40 & the property prices are pretty good. Lots of 5-10 acre properties available.
