Title: My State is Better than Yours
Post by: PrimitiveTim on December 20, 2013, 11:30:28 am
While people are being controversial erratically throwing out their opinion I thought I'd join in.  Here's my evidence of why Florida rocks!!!

This videos shows some of Florida's natural beauty.

Feel free to announce why you think your state is so great.  I think it's healthy to be prideful (to an extant) of your home state.

The best part of Kansas is the low population density, low crime, and low taxes.  So my official answer is that Kansas is the last place on earth that you would want to live.  We have no world class whitetails, not a monster muley or elk or pronghorn  to be found, no turkey, no pheasants or quail, its definitely not  right in the middle of the migratory route of millions of ducks and geese, no fish of any sort whatsoever.  There's no Osage to be found anywhere.  No bow wood at all to be found.  What women we have are all mean and ugly.  There's not really any flint in the flint hills and no smoky hill jasper to be found.  Yep, Kansas is the last place anyone would ever want to live!  That's my story and I'm sticking to it >:D.  Josh

Cant help it if a bunch of stupid people muck up the politics, but if you want a place of tremendous beauty, unparalleled ruggedness, and unbelievable verity, you CANNOT surpass CA.

Hurricanes are an excuse for us to have parties.  The news just shows all of you broken down houses but that's like one or two old houses that were built before building codes.  We throw parties for hurricanes.  It's like a holiday!  Everyone gets off work and school and we have a good ol' time.  If power goes out, we just light up the candles.

Idaho has almost every big game species in North America. Not to mention some of the most ruggedly beautiful landscape in the world.  I am partial to Idaho.  We have such a wide variety of upland game as well.  I love love love to bird hunt.  My father is an author of hunting birds around Idaho.  If you into that, his books are "THE CREEKS, and MY MOUNTAIN GROUSE". They are a pretty good representation of bird hunting in Idaho.  I love idaho. :)

Having visited most of your states in my younger days of traveling the country I ended up returning to Nebraska to settle and retire. Not saying anything derogatory about all of your choices but solitude has it;s rewards.

At 64 I doubt I'll be making any more moves but will say if it had to be it would certainly be only to the NNW of my current location and that would be somewhere from the Dakotas to Oregon and of course include parts of Canada and Alaska.

You mean like Idaho Fred  >:D.  The north west is just breathtaking.  Each state in this country has its attributes.  I love all of the ones that I have been too.  Fred solitude is something that is very important to me.  We live on the outskirts of a very small town.  There are about 650 people that live in the town and we are about 7 miles outside town.

Arkansas has that too and you can hunt them on WMAs during the daylight hours during any hunting season with any weapon allowed during that season.

I am living in Northwestern Minnesota at present, but am trying to convince Mrs. Mohawk to let us move back home..or at least back to Eastern Oregon..The South Western slope of the Cascades is alright with Me..Much obsidian, walk on Modoc territory, great Elk hunting...

And Not to Mention Washington is a coffee lovers paradise...and I am Not talking Starb***s as that is not really coffee...It does however clean steel and prcelan very well.. :laugh:
