Me and the wife have been thinkin bout relocating. Probably toward the south. The carolinas or GA maybe. We definitley are thinking south. We don't know LA or mississippi or texas. I like to be way out from town where I can do as I please. I also plan on building our retirement home there. I like to build with as few permits and interference with the state as possible !the home I'm in now needed no permits at all ! That's how I like it ! Also has to be lots of good huntin and fishin. Maybe a place with public ground bordering me. Because most of you don't know me I'm just a redneck that lives in hill country ! I will always be a redneck but some flat ground is soundin real nice. If you were gona relocate, where would it be ?

i like where im at in central texas. but if i had a choice to relocate it would be in the texas hill country. around mason, Llano, brady, fredricksburg, or san saba. i killed my first hog in brady and go to mason alot. and i dont care who you are its some of the most beautiful country there is to look at.

If I had to move from east Texas I would move to south east Oklahoma around Sardis Lake. I go deer hunting up there a couple times a year and it is some pretty country. Sardis Lake has some good fishing I have even heard it has some walleye in it. And I know where I have deer hunted it is a deer hunters dream. The bad side is the tornados and not as many hogs as there are here.

Thanks guys, that part of texas sounds possible. I'm big into deer huntin, will always hunt these big guys in ohio but I hunt everything else too. I've realized the last couple of years how much more there is out there. Aside from the deer huntin, ohio is lacking. And if I sold out I could set us up rreal nice somewhere.would like to be able to get into hogs on a regular basis and find some land that I could have a small farm on. Like my porch settin these days too ! I don't like traffic or housing developments, I like havin to drive into town and a small town at that. Ill be checkin land prices in those areas. Thanks again and keep it comin

Another thing that's had us thinkin about this is how friendly people in the south are. I've done some travelin in the huntin industry and there is no comparison if we go north the people are generally rude. Even the staff and law enforecement just short with ya and damn rude to deal with. The southern trips are just the opposite.

Just remember the further west you go the less rain you have...I was transplanted from central tx to west tx an I hate how dry it is an how its not very green...just saying..also your going to pay an arm an leg for country in fredricksburg/maso area...brady, san saba, an llano are a bit more reasonable an the deer hunting in my opinion is better too...if you dont mind hills an rock you may want to look at kerrville an junction area.

No cartel trouble, im 30 minutes from the LA line on I 10.....cartels are on the west border of the state. land varies GREATLY. We can kill 4-5 deer in the SE tex area. Beaumont is the big town around here. There are farming/small towns all over in almost every direction. ....i live 10minutes outside beaumont in a town of mabye 2500.....maybe.

Theres only a dogger or two in every other town and theres enough hogs to hit the woods or private ranches every weekend if you rotate your spots and work around the weather,i dont go every week but its not from lack of hogs,just gettin a lil lazy in my old age haha.
