It really depends on what a guy's specific priorities are. Where I live checks a lot of those boxes mentioned, but there are also some "deficiencies" about living here. Regarding turkey hunting, in particular, we have some great opportunities within the state (NM), but if a guy wants to travel OOS, things get complicated real fast...you are either going to drive a long ways or plan on paying a premium to hunt, or both.
On the other hand, we have LOTS of game species available...but many are limited through drawings with increasingly impossible odds. However, if you are a rich guy, you can hunt just about everything here every year if you are willing to pay for it.
There are plenty of fishing opportunities, as well, but compared to a lot of states with abundant water and endless places to fish, the opportunities here would likely seem to be meager.
Cost of living is comparatively low (but so it the wage-rate base overall) and the weather is great...if you can stand the heat in the summer (but at least the humidity is low, so it's a "dry heat")
The one real "pro" about the weather, however, is that we don't have things like tornados, hurricanes, flooding, and the like...which, from what I see in other parts of the country anymore, is a REALLY BIG "PRO".
All things considered, I would rate living here a A-...or maybe a B+. As a turkey hunter...I might lower that to a B. If I was a rich guy who was looking for a place where I could have exclusive opportunities to hunt all sorts of big game, living here would be an A++,...but alas, I am not and therefore must wait for the scraps to be thrown my way...and those scraps don't come often.
