If a guy wanted to retire in Wyoming what towns should he look at?

when i retire in a few more years the tax stucture in wyoming sure looks alot better for retires than here in oregon.
Yes the tax thing is a big plus also.

Now I have to get caught up on all you lucky guys who drew tags this year. Since I jacked my knee up playing pickleball with my daughter I will have some downtime to read through all the post
 
wyomings low property tax,,low sales tax 4.5} i think,,and resident wyoming tags after` 1 year make wyoming look much better than the crazy tax governer here in oregon,kotax it what we call her here.
 
You really will need to retire "centrally" in Wyoming, to make sure you are in close to all destinations and equidistance from the borders. You'll get an authentic Wyoming setting. Those cute little towns along the Bighorns are nearly as expensive as Bozeman, with a fraction of the view and offerings. To avoid the hustle and bustle of the bigger towns you need to go more rural. I think now that either Shoshoni or Jeffrey City would be the best choices.
Jeffrey City was going to be my suggestion, but Wamsutter isn’t bad either and gas is cheaper than driving to Muddy Gap. You also get a Subway and fried chicken at the truck stop.

I grew up and live in Billings, and as long as you’re comfortable with keeping a Glock or two on hand whenever you go to check the mail it’s easier to live here than in the Rawlins vicinity. Better like blowing snow, ice, and wind if you want to live in that part of Wyoming.
 
sigpros, get in your vehicle and drive to Wyoming. It's the only true way for you to figure it out. Take several trips to different areas and different seasons. What is good for one person probably won't be good for you.
Actually trout fishing and eating sucks. Terrible eating fish and they get boring to catch. Stay in an area that has bass, bluegill and catfish. Which won't be Wyoming.

We have all those fish and ore right here in Wyoming.
 
If you’re planning to move there in the next 5 years, then you better hire the best guy in town to begin the 5 year process of excavating a janky ass hole.
 
Consider your medical needs and what towns can satisfy those needs. For many it may be a non-issue, but for some it is a material issue.

Good luck.
 
I think it depends on why Wyoming is in the mix. North of Jackson for livability. Gillette or Cody for less expensive..
 
I remember a bar I used to go to in Rock Springs in the late 80's. I was working on the Shute Creek gas plant. The bar had a sign that said "If you don't have a gun or a knife, see the bartender and he will give you one". Not far from the truth. Haddock's I think it was called for you old timer Wyoming guys. MMA has nothing on the stuff that happened with oilfield guys. mtmuley
 
Sigpros, with your interests in trapping, small game and fishing, you may want to consider North Dakota. Waterfowl, pheasants, hind, walleyes, yellow perch, deer … I have hunted and traveled in both states. I would lean towards ND. Not that far to drive into elk country. ND is quite tax friendly.
