Look at the states that you get a benefit from buying a lifetime license.
I believe it is AZ and ID. Someone on here will know better but if you move to AZ for a year you can buy a lifetime license and be in the resident pool of applicants. I think ID has something similar.
Arizona has a lifetime license and you only need to live there for 6 months, then you get resident draw odds for life even if you move (which I did). It’s not a cheap license to buy though. It cost me $666 for a lifetime hunting license.
Idaho has a lifetime license too, but I don’t believe it gets you resident draw odds if you leave the state.
Bend Oregon or Boise Idaho. Both provide a large enough community to provide family with good schools, places of employment and a diverse social setting. But both very close to great wilderness settings. Durango Co, Montrose Co, Bozeman Mt, would be very high on that list too.
I would scratch Boise off of the list, the place is growing much too fast, I live in Nampa just to the west and the growth projections say our population is set to double in the next 10 years. If you move to Idaho, I'd suggest someplace like Riggins, Grangeville or Lewiston

Ehhh pretty familiar with it and I guess from
Your perspective I would be part of the problem (another damn Californian) (and i totally understand) I actually enjoy the benefits of a larger community. I like having good restaurants, choices in schools, diverse populations, etc. and of course plenty of Starbucks coffee
I very much enjoy all that boise still has to offer. It is actually very high on my list. I would really love it if my son goes to school there and plays baseball for boise state. They will have a baseball program again after more than 20 years without. Pretty cool place to go to school for sure either way. If baseball doesn’t happen for him in college he may still end up there.

if i were young and single, no kids.
i would move somewhere i could make a living. these are your earning years. dont be like me and leave all the time remaining to save for retirement ball up there at the end. if you start earlier, you can start smaller.
AND..i would move where there was a healthy population of date-able women. not unlike hunting; DATING, it is location, location location. you WANT a target rich environment.
hunting the the great outdoors. that ALWAYS works out. i've lived in several places, i always work out hunting. living where you cannot find a good job, and in a town full of men or only six women with all of their teeth..no thanks.
Idaho's lifetime license does put you in the resident tag pool, but you do have to pay nonresident tag prices if you move away
