WY is no good either, cold cold winters, no people, gravel roads, barely any walmarts, etc., it's just ugly and barren. Air's a little thin as well. Best to go south.;-}
Great thread! I have a dream of living in Montana. I am very lucky to have a friend with a large chunk of private ground SW of Helena that I can hunt. I will be in the area in a few weeks looking at properties. Know anyone that wants to trade for a waterfront home on lake of the Ozarks?? I have 3 and when they are sold we are on our way.
I don't think you'll find too many people that want to pack up and move to missourri. I've always dreamed of living out west and I'm envious of the people who do. I hope everything works out for the guy who is thinking of moving. It's a different animal all together going to a different state where you don't know anyone.
