Where oh where to retire?
 

I am soon to retire (end of the year), in fact two years ahead of my
schedule but right on time according to my employer. Anyway, I am looking
for that one ideal place. Ideal being large cheap property, "country"
location, sufficient home, garage for truck and boat, nearby deer woods/bird
fields/bass fishing. So my question is this: If you were to retire today and
could go wherever you desired in the continental U.S.A., with the above in
mind, then where would you go? You may respond directly if you wish. Thank
you.

I have never lived there, but I have heard great things about North Carolina
for the price of property the availability of the outdoors. My mom grew up
in South Carolina and says I would love it there (because of my passion for
the outdoors), and I have heard NC is similar.

Just an idea

Oh man, what a great "problem" to have. Picking paradise.

I'm from northern Wisconsin, and I think it is as nice here as it gets, but
I have to tell you, it's getting pretty old having to plow snow in January,
then put on thermal long johns just to get to the garage so I can have a cup
of coffee while sitting in the boat....:-) (I hope I'm not the only one
this crazy!!) Our summer fishing up here is great though, as is the fall
hunting. Deer season can be pretty cold.

Last year I took a trip in March to Table Rock Lake to fish for a few days,
and sure thought that area looked like a great place to relocate to. This
past March, I went to Old Hickory(Nasjville), but on the way passed by
Kentucky/Barkley lake, and that might just be my winning area.

I'm sure Florida and those far south states are nice, but I think thier heat
and humidity would be a big minus for me.

Just my two cents worth.......

I'm biased, of course, but I personally like North Carolina. Land around the
metros (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Wilmington,
Greensboro/Winston Salem/High Point-Triad Area) can get pricey, but NC is
still predominately a 'green' state. Lots of outdoors areas not developed as
of yet, lots of lakes to fish, streams and rivers too. We have parts of
several different mountain ranges through our western half (including Mt
Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi), and of course the
Atlantic ocean and our barrier islands, and a handful of coastal sounds
along the eastern portion of the state.

I've traveled a lot of the US in my 35 years here on Earth, and have had
several chances to move to Michigan, Arizona, Texas and even Gerogia, but
I've never found a place any more to my liking than good old home. Weather
is nice basically year round, with our major worry being the occasional
landfalling hurricane during the late summer and fall. Otherwise, my usual
advice to anyone looking to come here asking about the weather is that one
could basically golf here year round if they didn't mind it being a little
cold from January to March. Same for bass fishing, the water hardly ever
gets below 40º and fish can be caught year round. My largest, personal best
bass came in late February in 41º water, and tipped the scales at just over
10lbs. Not that that has any bearing on where you want to live. ;-) One
jingle used in advertising our area hits it right "I like calling North
Carolina home" and a lot people do. Money Magazine usually rates the
Research Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area) one of the best
places in the USA to live (schools, amenities, per capita income, etc).
During the late 1990s and up until recently, census numbers had 10k people
per year moving to that area. The only drawback I've seen has been that the
DOT can't widen all the roads fast enough to handle all the people, but
they're working on it all the time. We apparently have more improved road
surfaces in our state than any other state outside of Texas...go figure.

If I *had* to live somewhere other than NC, I'd have to go with Tennessee.
It's similar enough to me to NC to be tolerable, it just doesn't have the
Atlantic ocean as an eastern boundry like we do. Depends on whether or not
you want easy ocean access whereever you end up I guess. If money is an
issue, we do have a state income tax, and I know some states don't (Florida
for example) so you also have to figure that in as well.

My ex-in-laws retired to the Ozarks near about 40 miles from Branson on
Table Rock several years ago. The only thing I miss about my ex is the
annual trips to Bass Pro on the way to see her folks. ;-) They have enjoyed
it. They have considered moving a little farther south to Bull Shoals in
Arkansas but have not. Real-estate is still reasonable around there and in
Branson you can each cheap!

Middle Georgia - south of where you are now so land is cheaper and more deer.
We have a 12 deer per year limit - pretty high. Still close enough to West
Point, Eufaula, Oconee, Jackson, Sinclair, Blackshear and Tobosofkee as well as
the Flint River.

Alabama

Still can find cheap land, and taxes on it are low
no closed fishing season, we have some major water to fish
Only a couple days out of the year too cold to fish

Most liberal deer hunting limits (I think you can legally kill about a
140 deer each season now, if anyone ever wanted to hunt every day and
take his limit,) the most I have killed in a year was 30.

No hunting or fishing license needed after 65 years old
WE have a state constitutional "right" to hunt and fish, so there is no
PETA freaks running though the woods or in boats scaring the game or fish

Few gun laws, we have easy obtainable concealed pistol permits, of
course no permit is needed if carried in the open.

Very low crime rates in rural communities

Of course you will be called a damn yankee from now on

Just to let you know the difference between a yankee, and damn yankee

Damn yankees never leave, and we are getting a lot of retired damn
yankees now

I am soon to retire (end of the year), in fact two years ahead of my
schedule but right on time according to my employer. Anyway, I am
looking
for that one ideal place. Ideal being large cheap property, "country"
location, sufficient home, garage for truck and boat, nearby deer
woods/bird
fields/bass fishing. So my question is this: If you were to retire today
and
could go wherever you desired in the continental U.S.A., with the above
in
mind, then where would you go? You may respond directly if you wish.
Thank
you.

No doubt about it. Clarksville, Va. A small friendly town surrounded by a
large population of deer and turkeys. The deer are so plentiful, the game &
fisheries people offend give hunt clubs a hundred extra doe stamps just to
keep the herds in check. Oh yea, a 50,000 acre lake to fish in year around.

I thought you were just complaining about the fishing being about over for the
year - until next spring? We don't have any closed seasons and have decent
fishing weather 12 months a year.

That's what he needs, retire from Law Enforcement and move to a city that
you have to walk right by the main gate of the Colorado prison. ;-)

sent into the ether:

Warren sez"

Motor Home. 'nuff said.

Only if health is NOT an issue.

Imagine 100 plus fishing days driving to/from Alaska.

Imagine fishing from B.C. to the Maritime Provinces and back.

Imagine bass fishing from California to Florida and back.

Good luck!
John

Pretty close to my idea.
If I can swing it I want a fairly new slide in truck camper and truck.
A boat beside the sponge would help also. :}

Start out in spring, leave Wisconsin and fish Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Idaho and Montana. Meet my old partner in Northern California and
head up to alaska for part of the summer. Work our way down the coast
into Nevada,Texas and drop him off in Arizona. Spend the fall fishing
the south and winter in Florida. Spring work up the East coast and
into New England then Canada.
And that's just the first year or so.

I am in the process of making contacts with my peers around the
country for future short lasting contract jobs. Nothing like picking
up a little cash while fishing a new area.

Like Warren said, if the health is up to it.
