I hear that in parts of northern New Jersey, there are so many deer that
the season is basically open year-round. Of course, they make it so
difficult to own guns that there are few hunters. Housing density no doubt
also makes archery the way to go. Probably get tired of eating venison if
I lived there!
>From what I've seen of them, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama don't offer
much in the way of mountains. You needn't go all the way to the coast tho,
Colorado and New Mexico have some beautiful country for four-wheeling. I
hear tell that West Texas has hills, but the bumps that broke up the
interminable sagebrush on I-20 are nothing compared to the majesty of the
Colorado Rockies.
Then again, I'm sorta partial to the Rockies in Montana. If you want to see
MOUNTAINS, the place to go is Glacier National Park.
The attraction of four wheeling here in California is the diversity of
trail conditions. Most of the mountain trails are of deteriorated granite,
with granite bolders strewn around. Then there are the desert trails, with
sandy washes, hills made of all sorts of soils, and lots of rocks. On the
coast, you'll find the clays and more granite, and everything from the
coastal chapparal in the south, to Redwood forests up north. And there have
been people around long enough that there are trails going darn near
anywhere you might want (and too many people in so many places you'd want
to go otherwise). They keep closing areas, but we might be turning the
corner on that front.
