Fall Branch TN is now officially where I will live out my days
Gonna be up to my eyeballs in debt by the time the house is built, so I guess I am here for the long run. You only live once right? Will be able to shoot off my porch, have cattle and other livestock, the shop of my dreams, and be far enough from any city to avoid the crap. Plus a view of Chimneytop mountain off the back porch.

We have an old washing machine on a hillside 505 yards from the backyard. It is more holes than metal now and is about due for replacement. I swear there has been more money in ammo fired at it than what it cost new in 1977.
Back in the '80s, at another farm we had a '53 Pontiac sitting down along a creek and it, too, was the basis for many ammo tests. This is where I discovered that someone hiding behind a car while being fired at with a 30/06 or 7.62 was apt to be in trouble.
Tennessee looks like a good state for gun owners to live in. I think that is where Hickock45 and 22Plinkster are located.
2A supporting folks is one of the primary reasons I chose NE Tennessee to move to. I could have gone anywhere I wanted to. No state income tax, low property taxes, demographics, and opportunities for outdoor recreation were the other big ones.

Well first would have to add about 2' of black dirt on top of the measly bit of topsoil here to get the CSR rating of the soil up, next would be a managed weed control program which I haven't seen practiced here too well. Some Anhydrous Ammonia, some good Iowa produced seed corn, and higher seed population per acre. Maybe then we could get into the 250+ bu/acre and some good 7' tall corn. But I doubt it, theres a reason Iowa is known as the "Tall Corn State" 😉

Here in Appalachia, we don’t grow corn to fuel our trucks.
