[QUOTE="3darcher2, post: 1352708, member: 93642"] Thanks for the responses so far. I really like the idea of SW MT. The thought of tucking up a road off the Bitterroot Valley sounds awesome to me but I think that might be pushing it for my wife. She'd rather go to FL or SC, so I gotta be sensitive to her as well. I don't have a great feel for how much elevation will affect temperatures locally as well precipitation. She's not going to be down with being snowed in the house for 2 weeks at a time. But I also can't see me living in town, even in the boonies. Riverbottom maybe? I live rural now, and it's beginning to get too built up here. Of course here, I hunt right out the door. I don't know how realistic that is in the west but I think less so than I imagine, especially in a larger bottomland situation. Anyway, some other factors for me are being somewhat accessible to a hospital since I will be an old guy, so maybe 30 minutes at most. I also may have to work somewhere for a few years, so I may need to move to a bigger area and then possibly move again later once I retire, which would give me the opportunity to get the lay of the land so to speak. We're also looking at a home based business. WY has such a reputation for being windy - all the time - IDK if that's warranted but it's certainly a negative factor for me. The great hunting as a resident just might not be enough for me to survive my wife's disdain. I've looked at the Cody and Sheridan areas there or down by Medicine Bow NF. ID seems just so far, even though it's not much further than MT and you can fly to Spokane. I looked at Coeur d'Alene and Boise, weather is not too bad and looks like good hunting and fishing. Probably still in the mix a little. CO I am looking at the areas BHC mentioned. Grand Junction down to NM including Montrose, Ouray, Durango and Cortez. I'm a stream fisherman, and I really don't know how western states stream access laws work. I'm gonna have a lot of research to look forward to as well as maybe a trip or two out west. I started buying WY bonus points last year so maybe I will get a trip to check out WY first hand next year. [/QUOTE]
