Being able to “go back home” to hunt whitetails while living in the West is awesome. Congrats.

Thanks man! Yeah i think thats gonna be the plan. Go home for thanksgiving and a few days at deer camp. Good enough for me lol

The best rental rates can require calling a number of places that don’t advertise much or at all. I enjoyed living around bogus basin (road up to the ski area) and Camel Back park in the old part of town since mountain biking and running trails go way up the side of the mountain from there.

Yup i am currently calling around and getting estimates. Trying to find the best way, And okay i will keep that part of town in mind thanks!

Lol i did look into this (since i will def do it when eligible in Idaho). They only have something like that once you become a senior hunter (above the age of 65 I think)

Before you are no longer a resident of Pennsylvania, confirm if they have a lifetime license that you can buy that locks you in as a resident hunter forever. That’s how it is in my home state, which is awesome if I ever decide to leave.

Best recommendation is live outside of Boise if you can. Surrounding cities are a little less busy and not as well….. Boise. Welcome to the valley!

Thank you!

Agree Boise is getting to liberal. Outside cities are much more my style. Boise does have more to do though as far as events and places to visit. What is your profession?

Im a civil engineer. I will be working downtown so thatll be a factor. Honestly I dont mind the city. I like connecting with people and "action" at least during this chapter of my life. As long as I can spend the weekends and a few weeks in September away in the mountains... I am all good lol

When I was young and single I moved around the country. Depending on how much stuff you have determines how you move. If you can get everything in a U-Haul truck and dolly your vehicle behind that worked best for me. A few times my company paid for a moving company but that didn't work out that great with hassles like lost or damaged items and late delivery. If you can take all your stuff with you will be less at risk for headaches.

Gotcha ok I will look into that. The company is helping me a bit but i am free to do it however i want

Good for you! I left the east coast in 90 to live in the mountains and never looked back.

Awesome man

 

[westonhoma]

Good for you! I have so many buddies still back in PA that love it out here, I'm the only one who pulled the trigger and moved permanently.
You will only have one regret-that you didn't do is sooner

Thanks man! Ya feels good ACTUALLY doing it. Walking vs talking lol

Idaho Power is a great outfit. Vacation time is a little short when you start but after you put a few years in it gets better. Its a difficult place to land a job, consider yourself lucky for getting that position!

I feel truly blessed!
