So I'm at that cross roads. Do I move to Louisiana into duck country or stay in upland country in Nebraska.
 
Happy wife equals happy life.....:confused:, rent your place in NE and move to LA. As with any move you will have some time to adjust to the culture. Both states are good for hunting just different birds, however, the woodcock hunting would be very good, not the same as pheasant and quail. Gotta do what's is best for the family and everything else will work out. I used to work and live Johnson county and took the job in NE just for the bird hunting. First job that opened closer to my home state I took, I left a girlfriend in NE and she was in the same delimma you are facing stay in NE with her family or come to MI and marry me, thankfully she choose me. Side note I bought my lifetime license for NE and have only been back once in 17 years.

Yeah the duck and speck goose hunting is awesome down there. I guess I'm just disappointed in how the state of Nebraska has handle its outdoorsmen.

+1 on this here. Dont know if you are a believer or not, but you should pray over it as well. Ask and you shall receive...

In college in one of my Engineering Decision Making Techniques classes, we learned a good method for making decisions. Sit down with the wifey and list the pros and cons of moving and staying where you are. Then go back through and rate each pro and con on a scale of 1-5 (1 being extremely good or extremely bad, and 5 being not so bad/not so good). So for pros it is on a scale of 1-5 and cons will be -1 to -5. Subtract the cons from the pros for each state and whichever state has the highest score wins.
 
A bunch of us were at the club sitting around a table when one of the young guys made a comment that his girlfriend wanted him to go to a party or something and he didn't want to go. He said he'd just say no. He didn't have to do everything she wanted him to. About ten of the older gentleman at the table about injured themselves laughing. Wait 'til you're married.

yeah my suggestion is buy all the toys you want now before you get married!
 
"Its my wife's world and I just happen to live in it:)" That philosophy has worked well for me for the last 35+ years. Put God and your family first and it will amaze you how blessed you will become. Good luck with the move! 2 Labs.
 
This the second thread you have started on the same subject.

You are asking people you largely do not know for advise. Fine, I guess ... but some of us have been divorced multiple times, while others married a long time (me on 27 yrs), with some in-between. (singles may need not apply to this discussion). Some here are good at relationships with women, others not so much, many others maybe just lucky.

You know the pros and cons from an outdoor perspective. Your wife wants to go home.

I don't expect that you want to answer (and I guess please don't) ... but ask yourself

is your marriage strong ?
do you get along well with her family ?
what is most important ?
if you move, is it a permanent change ... no going back ?

You may want to seek out some counseling ...

I agree with Brittman. You want to throw a question out there on a public internet forum to see what kind of answers you get, fine. But these people are making comments with out having all the information/details you have. The hunting opportunities in these two states are only one little piece that needs to be considered in this decision. Sit down and make the decision with your wife, because its the two of you that are going to have to live with that decision.

Yeah pretty much split with the choice still
 
In my present continuing state of bachelorhood (going strong after 14 years), I now do what I want & when I want to. However, I can still recall these words spoken by my former bride from back when I was married: "Look, we can be reasonable about this, or just do it my way. Your choice." Good luck . . .

I found within 24 hours of being married that everything will be just fine as long as I keep changing:D
