I'm planning on retiring next year and buying me some land that I'll live on and hunt (and may also hunt on local public hunting grounds). Where should I retire to? For the location you suggest, what kind of hunting is good there? I'm new to hunting! Thanks much!

You're new to hunting? You have to decide what kind of hunting you want to do. How much you have to spend come into it too. Could you buy a ranch in Texas? One of those 50,000 acre types? Then you could buy and build up populations and hunt many species found through out the world, including those already there.

Are you thinking deer and pheasant, quail and ducks? There are some good places in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming to look into where you could probably find good fishing as well. My parents have a little place not far from here (in Southern Idaho) where I've hunted and taken deer, ducks, pheasant, quail, and trout, as well as coyotes, foxes, a bobcat, and lot's of rock chucks. The area is loaded with good hunting and fishing areas as well for many more species. I could probably find you something good for as low as $200,000, if that is what you were after. You can go up from there if you want a really nice house and or other attributes. I can even send you links to some good ones for sale if you want, no problem, if you want to email me I'd do that for you if this place seems like it might be your cup of tea.

I agree with Peter V. I usually do.
