Question about about midwest states

[DelDuck]

Ok we are officialy getting over run with city folk here in lower Delaware. They are saying with in the next 5 years or so on on strech of the main road to the beach we are going to have around 4000 new homes. Our hunting properties are dwindling and it has just gotten out of hand. I have been talking with the wife and just kicking around ideas about packing the bags and going somewhere.

What I want from you guys is maybe a brief description of what life is like out your way, and what kinda hunting is avalible. I have really thought about SD, caus I have always heard there is good upland hunting and duck hunting there. But hearing and knowing are two different things. I am looking to buy about 30 - 40 acers depending on price of course. what kinda puplic land there is hunt, what kinda shopping is near around you. What is the job market like?

Any help to make an educated decision will be greatly appreciated.
