Disregard politics or people what’s the worst state to live in?

On the flip side, i think each state probably has some type of natural beauty in its own way or different cool things to do.

Being a product of the western united states and a well established mountain man I'd go with New Jersey I visited my aunt there and it's definitely not for me

Once you spend time in Kansas and find the farms with big whitetail deer and rivers and ag fields full of turkeys Kansas ant to bad at all.

One of the flower girls from my wedding lives in the west-central part of North Dakota. From the sounds of it, no thanks. Of course, I lived near St. Louis for 12 years, the summers were brutal.

I didn't even see California mentioned yet.

CA is the #1 state in the nation if you disregard politics and people. But that is why so many shitty people with bad politics move here.

Explain your position? To me the barren landscape doesn’t suggest anything fun to do.

Barren landscapes provide endless amounts of fun and opportunity and a lot of solace and solitude. Upland, predator hunting, just to start are a couple of my favorite things to do in barren landscapes

As a guy that lives in Colorado, I’m ready to get out. The mountains are packed everywhere, every single weekend. There’s no escaping it. That includes hunting season.

Politics are ruining it, really fast.

I can’t go anywhere this second, but Wyoming is calling my name down the road.

I’d highly recommend doing research on living here before pulling the trigger.

Born and raised in Co. roots are fairly deep as of now, but my escape plan will be Wyoming/ Idaho or the wife family cattle ranch in AZ… Co is a totally different state from what I grew up in and it isn’t for the better.

I dont know, but removing politics and people, CA might be the best. All 3 elk species, Mule and blacktail deer, antelope, desert sheep, california bighorn, abalone, salmon, halibut, trout....

Washington could be good but we are poorly managed. Some say it’s beautiful but I take it for granted and think there are way prettier places….

Poorly managed game commission and poorly managed state government. They hate guns and lov Predators and want to introduce more such as Grizzlies….Recently we discovered gray wolfs where I live close to mount st Helen’s.

Our elk populations are struggling especially in the blues mountains as predators are not controlled
Salmon fishing is good at times but I see a grim future
We do have great turkey hunting and razor clams.
Black tail deer on the west and mule and whitetail on the east side.
Tons of cougars and black bears
We lost our spring bear due to our very very poorly ran game commission. I fear we will lose more.

If someone told me they wanted to spend a year hunting/trapping and they wanted to kill the most animals possible in that year, I’d send them to ND. Especially if they were working full time with a family and had extremely limited time.

Add in probably 3 of the top ten walleye/perch/pike systems in the entire nation.

I wish the readily available hunting and fishing in AK was a third of what it is in ND.

As someone that lived and grew up in ND and moved to AK…. I think that’s a pretty outlandish statement. There’s far more opportunity in AK outdoors wise.

I got an assignment to NJ and ended up living there for ~3.5 years. If you ignore the politics, it's honestly a pretty nice place. Fairly rural in central/south NJ, I remember being very surprised when I got off the NJ Turnpike while driving to the base when I was moving there (I had never been to NJ until the day I moved there) because I just had this vision in my mind of everything looking like Newark.

Kansas is the awful. Every year we drive to Colorado my dad and I dread the Kansas part. Went a different route a couple years ago and went through Nebraska instead and that wasn’t much better.

West Texas is pretty awful as well. The stretch from Dallas down to El Paso is mind numbing.

Everybody likes the smell of their own farts... Where they live isn't that much different.

I didn't even see California mentioned yet.

That’s because when you leave out politics and people. California is probably top 5 states in the US.

Incredible weather, incredible scenery, incredible hunting, incredible fishing…. Just ruined by politics.

 

[Fowl Play]

See I think you need to look to the Southeast for this. Hot, humid, and buggy can be a terrible mixture unless you have some redeeming qualities. Florida makes up for it with beautiful beaches, springs, fishing, and the keys. Alabama you start to get into the lower end of the Appalachian’s. Louisiana has some stellar hunting and fishing, but Mississippi?

It’s Mississippi for me… even hard to spell.

Florida is the runaway winner for me. It's so flat and humid and hot. I'm sure it's fun if you're an airboat junky, but the whole state is about one good whale piss from being under water. The highest elevation in the state is 345 feet.

Everyone I've ever talked to that moved there regretted it. The beaches are great to visit but once their novelty wears off, there's nothing left.

 

[MallardSX2]

I remember the first time I went to Florida....

I got out of the car and said "oh my god, what is that smell?! It smells like bigfoots Dic&!!"

My buddy looked at me and he said, "Welcome to Florida!"

I could never live there. Too hot and it stinks too bad.

NJ is the "Garden state". We always called it the garbage state. The north west part of the state is actually really nice. Rolling hills and woods. The rest of it could use a good fire. NY is the same way. If a Tsunami would wash away NYC, the rest of the state is pretty awesome.
