if you could live in one state...?

Alabama is the place to be if your an outdoorsman. Between the foothills of the appalachians to the gulf coast theres pretty much any type of terrain you can think of except desert. There are more public waterways here than any other state.We are gun and knife friendly. And there are plenty of things to do besides the outdoors. Our only requirement for living in this state is you must pick a side (Alabama or Auburn).

I came to Arizona 33 years ago from NY/NJ area and while I have traveled through most other states. this does it for me. The desert is warm with low humidity and the north country reminds me of hardwood and pine forests I knew from upstate NY. And for hunting we have elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, bear, javelina, pheasant, quail, dove, and numerous small game like squirrel and rabbit.
My first winter here we bow hunted javelina in the snow country up north and barbecued that afternoon in shorts and t-shirts back at my place! And gun laws including CCW are the best in the country.
 
Arizona is tough to beat for knife & guns nuts. The laws here are (as they should be!) very minimal and geared towards individual freedom. The Sonoran desert part the state is rough in the summer no doubt (but great in the winter)... and any city (ie, Phoenix) basically sucks! :) But there are soooo many other parts of this state that are amazing from a climate perspective (the Mogollon Rim for example is amazing!). I've lived here now for 27.5 years and while it did take many years for me to fall in love with this state (did I mention summer sucks! :))... I have really come around to loving it. Idaho though does have a lot of appeal to me as well and that'd be another state I'd personally like to live in someday. We'll see.... :)
 
I will never leave the glorious state of Colorado. We have plains, mountains, desert and did I say mountains!? I love where I live being only 20-30 mins away from the foothills. Some of you people don't know what a mountain is on the east coast, which is another reason I love colorado! A 7,000 ft hill doesn't count as a mountain, a 14,000, ft peak does tho.
 
Oregon is hard to beat. I live in southern oregon and I can be on the coast in two hours or the woods in twenty. Lots of outdoor activities available. Pretty good place to live with a family.
