Question about about midwest states

[Jonesy]

The hunting pressure is so severe all I have got for bucks the past several years is these dinks... I've lived here all my life and I'm thinking of moving to LA or something like that maybe even the East Coast somewhere. Many of the outsiders that move here also leave before long. Can't handle the lack of "culture", slow pace, winters or openess.

I think here we are experiencing the slippery slope effect. I don't think we can stop the influx of outsiders coming here. We just have to accept it. Not a lot of other options, we could *****, but that obviously doesn't make a difference. We just need to enjoy what we have right now. Because it's happening everywhere else, we are not the only ones and everyone is looking for a better place to live, with a higher quality of life and South Dakota is one of the last of the great places to live.

Don't have any pictures but they are allowing a late season rifle doe only deer season beginning this year.
Just the 2 lower tiers of counties though.
Its been shotgun only for as long as I can remember and I'm old.

[justwannano]

Oh yeah you'd better bring a job with you though.

Price of land is easy to find and without making this a real estate site I would suggest hitting the net and comparing prices.
You can look them up same as anything else.

Not looking for prices of land, Like in my original post I am looking for what it is like out your way. But if most of the ppl are going to be like this I would rather live in the slums of Baltimore. Atleast I would beable to get more of an answer to a question then what I have gotten here.

Guess maybe things got off track for ya but thought you were looking to move to a different area and needed information on more then if we got a duck or not ?
You had mentioned all the city folks moving in on you and we stated that things were the same in our areas also.
Mentioned land and that was covered as to the high prices ect.
Don't seem like it is taken to kindly in your area about the city folks moving in and same is here where I am.
Might be best if ya did just stay at home cause things are not allot better in other parts you asked about.
If ya don't like the answere don't ask the question .

And just how did you answer my questions about jobs, living conditions, general life in your area, different type of hunting in your area?? I guess by telling me I would not be welcome per you 1st reply?? I was not asking for personal feelings about ppl moving into your area. It is a given that long time residents don't like new comers, until they get to know them for who they are. I asked an intelligent question and expected an intelligent response. It is a shame grown men and women can not atleast give that common curtesy. But I guess in todays society It has become accepable for ppl to be rude like that. I was brought up that if someone asked you a question you answered it the best you could. you know the golden rule. But anyhow i should not have been so nieve as to expect an answer. By bad, lession learned

Well if its jobs you are interested in what fields of interest are you in ? In my area there are vary little factory stuff, construction jobs are going well now with the pay at $9 on the average. What are you looking for ?
Living conditions it is hard to compare as I have never been to your area. Crime rate is low, traffic is low, and school systems are good tax base depends on the area you want to settle in, the air is clean and so is the water.
We hunt whitetail and mule deer, limited elk tags, limited mountain lion tags, plenty of turkeys on public land, we have grouse, ducks and some geese.
My answere was not personal from me alone, this is what residents as a whole feel and these are not long term folks either.
Matter of fact my answere to you was not my personal feelings at all I was just trying to tell you what to expect. I tried to explain that folks from other States are moving into our State at a large rate and money does not seem to be a problem when it comes to buying property and in so has made it impossible for the kids of South Dakota familys to afford land to put a house on not to mention the cost of building in conjunction to the low wages paid in our State so if you feel this was rude so be it.

[justwannano]

Pretty much the same here in Iowa.
For residents prices of housing is high. If 1M is reachable ffor you then you wouldn't have much of a problem.
Wages are so low all I can find pays 7.00 per hour.
I can't do construction anymore so I don't know what the prevailing wages are.
Traffic is increasing due to a new freeway form Minn to St L. Also working on new E/W freeway through our town.
Lots of immigrants working in the few factories we have.
2 of the largest factories moved out recently and the only hi tech factory is closing in dec.
But Hell come on out but as I said bring a job.

Century 21 had these on the market:
(1) 13 acres = $120,000
(2) 1 acre = $ 77,500
(3) 20 acres = 185,000
(4) 37 acres = 525,000
(5) 161 acre ranch $ 1,000,000

Nulle,

I will say that property prices around you are somewhat high. Not as high as here, but pretty high nonetheless. I guess it is all over the country.

What sucks about trying to buy some hunting property is trying to figure out if the property will be good for hunting, or making it good for hunting afterward.

When I got my land we had deer all over the place and could hunt out the back door = now we have deer all over the place but also houses so you are sure right in the spectrum of what the land around you will be like in a few years.
