movin south ?

[Kid7]

When you say hill country what ya talkin bout ? Rolling hills or takes a couple hours to get up it. Or oh chit, no way like where hillbilly's at ?

Rolling hills, not very high. You can see over all of them and its lots of oak trees, mesquite, and cedar

I'm born and bred north Louisiana. An hour drive in any direction changes the landscape dramatically. Go three hours and ur in a different world. LOL. Anywhere on the Tx- La. Border would give u great people plenty of hunting and fishing etc.

[SCHitemHard]

you should visit the farm when you can scott ill show you the layout of the place

[firemedic]

Smartlowe, one thing to keep in mind aboutr the SE,....it gets really,....I mean REALLY humid here, and not just in the summer, winters here are painful sometimes as well. Our humidity is murder here, I'm in north Bama, borna and raised here and I HATE this humidity, always have and always will. Stay west of the Mississippi and you should be ok....I kinda like TX too. Lots of hogs in most parts. I love the SW myself,....dry suits me just fine. Good luck.

I was raised in north Texas, and transplanted to Louisiana back in '92. I live about 30 minutes southeast of Lake Charles in SWLA. As far as hunting and fishing goes, like Justin said, we have everything to hunt, but quail. Saltwater fishing about 20 miles to the east of me, real good freshwater within a couple miles from the house. Plenty of hogs to hunt. Within and hour an a half north, they have some unbelievable deer hunting, for the south. Have some above average public land all around  Food is good, and the people are very friendly.
The area is mostly rice and cattle farms.
Prices away from town 30 minutes or so aren't bad. Bad closer to town.
Downfalls
Humidity and heat absolutely sug!
Mosquitoes are a fact of life.
Deer flies get pretty bad also.
Disclaimer: Texas will always be "home", lol.

I would love to live in the Texas Hill country, When I retire I would like to be within an hour of San Antonio.

My uncle builds custom houses up in bandara and its crazy how much people pay for just the view they get

[tnhillbilly]

Thought about this alot myself, but guess ill just stay right here in these old mtns. No gators, no wolf's, no quill pigs, its hot and humid in the summer but in a deep holler its much cooler. Plenty of bear, deer, and Turkey. Not much for hogs tho.
   But ive always wanted to move back to La. If I could find a place far enough away from town.

[buddylee]

South Georgia. Big deer, big hogs, big fish, turkeys, bears, gators, etc.

[jdt]

ya'll got bears in s ga buddy ?

[Bar W]

I'm with the south east Texas guys, but come spend a week or two here the end of July first of august to get a taste of the heat and humidity. By the middle of May it's pretty well to hot to run dogs except at night, but the fishing is still pretty good then. If you buy larger tracts of land 50 acres or more you can usually find it for 3k an acre or less in my area. In a perfect world I would go to Colorado the end of may and stay there until the end of archery elk season then come back to Texas. Also Texas has no state income tax.

[smarlowe]

Goin to colorado in sept for elk, I think Ill pass thru oklahoma on the way. Buddy lee, I made it as far south as macon last trip. Definitley game rich area and weather was nice. It was first of march then. Thanks for everyones input on this.

[buddylee]

Bears in north, central, and south Georgia.

[smarlowe]

Buddy, can ya hunt em with dogs ? We thought we saw a bear in a real thick swamp but just couldn't tell for sure. Also, did ya get to breed that bird dog ?

[firemedic]

Oh,......don't forget about the gants in south GA in the summer time. From about Perry on down, they get unreal for about 4 months or so. They swarm you when you go outside, get in your nose, mouth, eyes and ears. Torment like no other,....just didn't want you to move there without knowing man.

[smarlowe]

Ok. What's a gant ? We have lady bugs real bad here in the fall. They bite and taste awful when they fly in yurr mouth.

[H.Wilson]

Not sure about north Georgia but they run dogs in south Georgia. No dog hunting for bear in central Georgia. Gave the pointer to a friend. Gonna try and breed my dane/pit to a pure Campbell cur and a English pointer/pit. Hopefully a pointer next year.
