I can suggest Kansas State, Oklahoma State, or U of Arkansas for nearby universities to offer a proper degree of funk while still nicely co-located with hunting and fishing.

Finding a town of literate people who don't like to hunt and fish might be doable, but finding a town of literate people who like to buy guns and tackle and not use them is a challenge. <br /><br />You'd almost be looking for a resort town like Aspen (I know, not flat enough) where people come and spend their money by the Hummerload and leave. That or just suppress the Sooner in you...Mark Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105837142551567890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-7156186812255826272010-01-05T20:28:13.152-06:002010-01-05T20:28:13.152-06:00Mark, I grew up in Norman and I actually think my ...Mark, I grew up in Norman and I actually think my bookshop/tackle shop/gunshop idea might fly there. The problem is, the funky little college town I grew up in is now the third-largest city in the state and all the places I hunted and fished as a kid are long-gone. I was there just this past weekend, as all my family is still there, and it was just too...peopled.<br /><br />Stillwater, I think would work, too. Far enough away from the OKC metro, college town. But both my wife and I went to OU and Stillwater's hostile territory for Sooners.Chad Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219295562957353591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-37678360621552017542010-01-05T20:12:27.524-06:002010-01-05T20:12:27.524-06:00Too quick on the trigger on that last one.
