Default Kentucky or Tennessee?

Hey all,

My darling bride has decided that she has "maybe" one Wisconsin winter left
in her and wants to move south. She has decided that we "need" to move to
Kentucky or Tennessee. Many of you know me and know I need fishing and
hunting opportunities or I'll go crazy, or at least crazier than I am now.
Janet wants four distinct seasons, preferably without months of cold weather
and snow like we have now. I on the other hand really don't want to leave
northern Wisconsin, finding I can deal better with the snow and cold versus
high heat and humidity. So while I like the idea of not snowblowing the
driveway, I'm less than thrilled with the thought of leaving my home state.

However, with that being said, we've begun to investigate the two states.
I've done a little looking online in the Eddyville Kentucky area as I've
been there before.

I know that Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax, and it has "TennCare"
a state sponsored health care program. Does anyone know if Kentucky has
similar bonus points like the aforementioned?

Basically what I need to know is the pro's and con's of living in each
state. Taxes, property values, health care, cost of living, climate,
fishing/hunting opportunities, job opportunities (the wife will still have
to have a job), etc. are all things I need opinions on, as well as any
potential locations.

Anyone have any thoughts?
