is anyone moving to illinois? or live there now?

[MO QWACK]

NO NO .... Missouri doesnt have crappie and the hunting stinks. Not a lot of water here either.

Gentlemen,

And this is why we dislike Chicago politics !!! everybody in Illlinois pays for Chicago greed. Missouri looks like the place I need to move to.

that's strange. i duckhunted in mo for 53 years and for some reason with the exception of back in the 50's when i hunted corn fields, i had to wear hip boots and waders for some reason. uh uh i think it was water. and ducks? you'd have a fit if i told you the truff. you'd call me an outlaw. i'm just glad i quit before mark reed caught me.

Missouri has personal property tax and a state income tax, which is one of the reasons we left St. Louis in 1989 (Not to mention the traffic, the noise, etc). I never understood why we had to pay taxes on anything with wheels year after year if we already paid sales tax. I plan on keepin' my butt in Tennessee for a good long while - no state income tax, no personal property tax, no state vehicle inspection (unless you're in Nashville or Memphis and maybe Knoxville). Good fishing, friendly people, nice state parks, it's all good.

I want out. I am trying to run a business here it's impossible. I have at least 2 years until my wife gets out of school.
I would like to move to kentucky. They don't have all the BS gun laws. There are a lot of good folks down there.
All but 2 counties voted agaist Quinn and most of cook county ( Chicago) voted for him. Whats that tell you Chicago runs this state.
Illinois were are governers make are licence plates.
I wish I could just tell my customers to increace my pay.
Sorry SLAB I know we aren't suppose to talk politics. But this has really bent me out of shape.

The only place I duck hunt is old monroe Mo. It's great. They have Truman lake.....great crappie. They have mark twain....great crappie.
Some of the best fishing tripd I ever had was at a place called thomas hill reservoir. What obout the Ozarks ? never been there but they tell me it's nice. I think sombody don't want us to come to MO. Oh and don't forget the Bud light taste better on that side of the Mississippi.

Move to ILL get it ill. we pay over a hundred bucks a year for plates. I don't blame you I would not live in St. Louis. And Tennesse was my number1 pick but have some great friends down at Kentucky lake. And I know TN has great people also. I have read about the taxes there very good for it's people. You are very lucky to have been able to make the move. Enjoy!

i don't know the perfect state. i lived and farmed in the bootheel of mo most of my life but did most of my hunting in both ark and mo because we have a hill farm here in ark. i love ark. the hills and everything except the ticks, chiggars and rattlesnakes. kentucky lake is a wonderful place to fish. reelfoot lake in tenn is a wonderful place to fish. ark is eat up with good fishing places but the hunting is either public or pay to hunt or have a friend but it's that way in every state now with hunting. we have it all here in ark and property is not as high here as it will be in ky or tenn i'd bet anything on that.

I live just across the river from St. Louis and I am looking to leave the state of Illinois as soon as I can retire, about 10 years. We have ridiculously high real estate
taxes because the schools are mainly funded by county real estate taxes. While we don't have personal property taxes we pay $100 for license plates on our cars and trucks, now they want to raise income taxes because the state can't pay it's bills or fund the obligations it already has, the jerks won't even seriously consider cutting
spending. The only way a person would benefit themselves by moving here is if they want to be a welfare bum that promises to vote democratic or if they have the connections to get a job through a union or a politician. I just hope by the time I can retire I'm able to find someone to buy my house.
