Retiring in the Pacific Northwest
I think with the mild winters in that area, my wife and I will be good. The cool, wet weather I am familiar with, visiting my son near Portland. The hunting and fishing part of living there has me really excited. My wife loves to ski so she's happy about that. The Willamette Valley is the area...- Greybeard

DIY Wind Checker- Milkweed
They sell lint from Rosie O'Donnell's belly button by the bale. Has a funny smell though. -

Fishing the Gulf
We have been hammering the redfish the past few weeks in the marsh. They are staging up to run into the gulf to spawn. You have to fish early or real late, cause it has been Africa hot during the day. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot. Hotter than a blistered pussy in a pepper patch. On the...- Greybeard

Don't know if they are all cleared out, but they have shot African Warthogs at the Chap in the past. -

My Last Hunting Grounds Will be Muzzleloader Only
I have a TC Black Mountain Magnum. It looks identical to your New Englander. The main difference is it has a faster twist barrel 1 in 28 vs your 1 in 48. It will also burn 150 grains of black powder. (Good luck hitting anything with that much powder though.) I'm always torn between using it or...- Greybeard

Retiring in the Pacific Northwest
We will be going up there over the Christmas holidays. Not just to visit, but this will be a serious scouting for relocation. Thanks to you folks, we have some places to focus on. The valley that Salmon Chaser and Irrelevant have been describing really checks a lot of boxes. We will likely start...- Greybeard

Retiring in the Pacific Northwest
When my son and his wife first moved out to Oregon, they started in Tilamook. We visited them over Thanksgiving. It was nice. The weather was exactly as you would expect for that time of year, but we still enjoyed hiking out in the cool, misty rainforests around there.- Greybeard

I haven't really decided. I just know that in any big city, my wife and I would be miserable. I live about 60 miles from Houston and it's still too damn close.- Greybeard

Don't be concerned about hijacking this thread. This is all stuff from folks like you that actually live there. I want to hear all sides and you posted your honest viewpoint. Any folks that disagree, I'd like to hear from them too. I think this has been an excellent discussion so far.- Greybeard

I honestly think that draw odds would be impossible to accurately calculate. With the cubed points system especially, you just don't know how many actual entries would be in a particular drawing. I believe that the best one can do is divide the number of open spots to the number of last year's...
