Best place to live in U.S. for bird hunting

[Mike Murphy]

I understand the suggestions from many forum members regarding such places as New York, Michigan, Montana, etc. However, I'm hung up on the first part of the inquiry; "best place to live in the U..S.".... Most of the places mentioned are colder than a tax collector's heart from December to March. I'd be inclined towards the suggestion of South Carolina or some other warmer locale with a gun & hunting friendly environment, plenty of upland and waterfowl hunting along with Turkey, lower taxes, good weather year round and good fishing as a bonus. What you give up is hunting for ruffed grouse within a short drive. Small price to pay for all of the other benefits.

Not if your a Grouse hunter I'd be hard pressed to give up all Michigan has to offer even winter as you can always travel down south and hunt Quail or go west for Quail and other birds. The Carolina's or any other southern state or in the Southwest shuch as AZ, NM,TX in the summer no way
