So I am looking at the possibility of moving to IN in the future.

nothing is immediate or set it stone but im just trying to get a feel for the area.
it would be in the north east part of the state, a little north of Fort Wayne.

shooting ranges?
How is the winter?
How is summer?
how rural are the area's up there?
Are people friendly?

I am currently in Eastern KY and have 400 acres of property (that I will be keeping).
I am definitely used to being out in the country with no neighbors and just being left alone.
walk out behind the house and shoot half a case of ammo and the neighbors cant even hear the shots.

Gun laws are better than most states. SBS, SBR, MG's, suppressors all legal to own. Concealed or open carry legal with a permit, but there had been a push over the last few years to become a constitutional carry state. I could use a little more scenery as far as hills, etc., but it's mostly flat farmland where I'm at. I sit on 100 acres so it's nice and isolated just like I prefer. I would suggest checking property tax rates in whatever county you are looking at. Living in Lake county, we are one of the higher property tax rates in the state so that's always a kick in the nuts twice a year. If I built my house 10 minutes south my taxes would have been half, but I couldnt pass up the deal on the property.
