Moving to Grangeville

Any advice from the locals? I'll be moving up in march for a new job. Hows the community, hunting, fishing, ect. If anyone knows or has suggestions of a good place to rent for a bit id be all ears.

Never lived there but have known people from there and surrounding area. Smaller town fairly tight knit. Fairly high percentage catholic. Some good people there. Most people drive to Lewiston for their big grocery purchases.

The general area is predominately agriculture. Quite a bit of private ground. If your courteous and ask the right people I’m sure you can get access. It’s not far to access good public land areas.

Lewis Clark wildlife Club is a rifle range not too far. They have benches and can shoot out to 500 yards. Also a couple Trap Shooting clubs near there.

Lots of public pretty close. Really central to a lot of good hunting and fishing. Ski hill pretty close, but not much of one compared to the big glam places.
Seven Devils and Hell's Canyon close too.

It’s a great place for a guy that wants to be outside. Mountains to hells canyon country. You’re surround by all kinds of hunting and fishing. Literally year round stuff to do. Steeelhead, chukars, whitetail, mule deer, elk, upland birds, pretty much everything is within an hour or two. If you can make a living there and don’t need big city life, you can make it great. Congrats

The town itself isn’t much so you will have to drive an hour and a halfish to Lewiston to do any real shopping. But, The Depot Food and Fuel used to have a really good burger and fry special and, like @44hunter45 and @Elktrack said, you are so close to so many really neat places. If you could buddy up with some local farmers, I bet the coyote hunting would be good.
