Relocating hunter

[Huey43]

Hello. Am an avid hunter out in California and will be retiring soon. I love hunting Boars, Turkey, Dove and Quail. Am looking for an area to purchase about 100 plus acres so I can spend a majority of my retirement hunting boars and turkey. I saw somewhere that Big south fork has hogs, so I was looking for land around there. Anyone have any other suggestions? I appreciate any ideas/help.

I don't know any specific properties to recommend, but welcome to the forum, and the great state of TN. Hunting is a hell of a lot more fun without using CA compliant weapons.

I dont have any real-estate leads...but welcome from Middle TN.

Welcome! Good luck with finding your ground

Welcome. We call them "hogs" around here.

welcome from another newbie! finding populations of quail will be difficult in Tn. prob more of them in western end of state, not sure. haven't even heard one call here in over a decade. too many small farms turned into huge farms that are plowed from fence to fence. they were everywhere when i was younger, even see coveys scurrying across the streets here in town at times...i did bump into some around Lawrenceburg several years ago while working there.

South Georgia still has lots of quail, hogs, deer, and turkey. The hogs and quail are going to be hard to find here in TN. Especially combined.

I still wonder why anybody would want to move here, it sucks now.

Welcome. You'll enjoy TN. Good deer and Turkey opportunities. Some hog but less so than deer or turkey. Quail, ditto on others' comments. Land is available, but often remote. Middle,East TN mountain properties are available in large tracts, but in order to afford it, it will likely be very remote and very steep. But, if you are coming from California, your dollar will go a lot farther here. Find something in greenbelt (property tax reduction). And with no state income taxes, you can save a lot. Good luck!

I heard the quota on Commifornians moving to this area was full and we can't take anymore.

Welcome, I live in north MS. Tennessee is a great state to live in, probably alot more affordable than California. Congrats on getting close to retirement, that's what we all are shooting for

And 9.75% sales tax on everything….

Yes, but we can control a lot of what we buy…. I like having choice in the taxes I pay.

Not enough quail in TN and I wouldn't want hogs on my property. Most of TN has plenty of deer and turkey, though, and I'd call the Cumberland plateau a sportsman's paradise unless you were a duck hunter. Good friend of mine from church moved from Cali and I sure can't blame y'all for leaving. Welcome!

Yeah, I hesitated in saying where I am from. I am very red and would have left earlier, but I would lose my retirement.

Couldn't help but notice your callsign? Do you have a military background?

Military and law enforcement. I tried to send you a private message about housing/lots/land prices etc, but couldn't figure out how to do that here.

 

[huvrman]

Just sent you one. You should be able to click the envelope besides your name at the top of the page. Then put In my name and your message. Then start conversation.
