What are you looking for?
We've got lots of wide open spaces, varmints, deer, elk, mountain lion, bighorn sheep, a mountain goat or two, pheasants, grouse, whitetails, mulies, antelope, partridge, ducks, geese, cranes and swans. Walleye and bass aren't difficult to find. Lots of ranges, and lots of folk who haven't forgotten their bonds with the soil. We're growing quite a gun industry in the Black Hills in recent years.
Problems? Sure. Jobs aren't as plentiful and don't pay as well as on either coast. Economics are not good on the reservations. Got to travel farther to get from one city to another. Winters do get a might cool, but are quite survivable. We have some pretty hill country in the west, prairie in the middle split by a big ol' river, and a few trees in the east.
Like any other venue, it's what you make it. I suppose we all pay a price to live here, but for many of us, it's worth it even if we have to drive an old pickup instead of a freshly detailed beemer. You can be on an archery deer stand in 15 minutes from downtown Pierre, the Missouri River is about 200' from my front door, and I'll be shooting trap tonight in town, next to the soccer fields and softball complex. Life is good.
