While were talking Colorado.... Alamosa. Lots and lots of deer. Deer walking down the streets, in your backyard, on the trails, roads, golf course....

1. Denison University. where I went, in Ohio. gorgeous campus. Colorado Mountain College is another. anywhere in Oregon.
2. persistence hunting is awesome. it's the only true way to hunt. people who use weapons are wimps.
I've seen deer out at dawn (for cross country meets) and midday and dusk for training runs. There are literally deer out in the fields everytime I'm there. I'm not sure how many miles of trails ( There has to be at least 50 ) but they're nice and compacted dirt. Very wide and strictly used for running, walking, and biking owned by the school. I've never tramped through woods chasing deer, but I'd say the woods there are about as good as they get. There are many a fine southern woman there also.
State College, PA is close to some great trails and dirt roads. Desales is nice, a few miles of trails. Lehigh's athletic campus is great, hosted D1 nationals several times plus there is a tow path from Allentown to Bethlehem to Easton.
Are there good trails around the Villanova campus right outside Philly? It's in the suburbs so is it all just paved roads?

University of Akron. Once you are 3 minutes off of campus there are lots of crack houses, meth heads, and gang thugs. Gives ya quite a work out!
apparently it worked for someone named Mayton Clurphy ...
I suggest a cabin in the wilds of Montana. Just a single room. When not chasing deer you can mail stuff to people. Do some writing, etc.

I'm about to graduate college from a cold, drab school in northeast ohio. I ran in high school, did not run in college, but have recently just started back up. I want to move, and I want to live near a college campus that is just awesome to run around and about. What scenery is important to me? ... VARIETY. I like to run and have the stuff around me be constantly changing. I like a bit of nature, a bit of people, a bit of shops and stores, a bit of commerce, a bit of houses, .... and ideally (but that is often not feasible) lots of grassy areas (for barefoot running) and other areas with soft surfaces.
I also want to live someplace where there are LOTS of deer. My latest hobby is chasing deer (google up persistence hunting ... I don't actually kill the deer, it's just cool to chase them for a while). It's a lot of fun. But areas that are too wooded and too muddy (like NE ohio) present a challenge. A savanna type climate would probably suit me best. warm, dry, some trees but not too many, and a good amount of deer.

Did you want to move to where there might be job, or is that not priority?
NE Ohio too wooded? Don't deer like to live where there are wooded areas?
