The only difference has been the amount of public vs Private. Colorado had a lot of NF and State lands- Kentucky not so much but findings some of the wildlife management areas that have deer.
I got into some quail which is just as fun as pheasants!
We have not had any snow at all. A few days of 20's and one week when the whole nation was in deep freeze. The waterfalls, gorges, lakes, and trees are amazing. Land is way cheep compared to surrounding areas.
