[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 2906539, member: 90397"] I grew up in OR. Moved to CA for work after college but got driven out by politics by 93. Worked overseas and when it came time to retire, we moved to Okanagan valley in central WA in 09 and went all in to build on 40 acres. (Oregon had very high taxes and was already stupid liberal.) Deer, bear and fishing were great. When Inesely got in as governor, WA went downhill as the western counties decided to push their agenda down hard on the east side. We abandoned the homestead in 21 and moved to MT. I still bird hunt in either WA or OR once a year with a college buddy but have to leave my carry pistol at home. There is no way, I could recommend moving to either state. Bend, Oregon would definitely not get a nod even though it was a favorite when I was a kid. If you have to move to either, I would definitely suggest something east of the Cascades. At least many of your neighbors might share something in common in terms of hunting and fishing values. With all the disclaimers aforementioned, you might want to give the Wenatchee area in central WA a look. It has hunting and fishing opportunities and access to most things your wife will expect. While it might be tempting to get 40 acres out in the boonies when you choose a place, remember both states are trying hard to cram down electric vehicles which could put folks in the outlands in a bind. Fortunately, MT doesn't seem headed down this path or I'd be in a bind. Good luck [/QUOTE]
