Haven't hunted Burns Lake/Houston area but I'm told deer hunting is much better in those neck of the woods. Some Elk once you get past Smithers.
I own a rental property in Terrace and plan on moving there someday. Like you said, world class fishing - rivers absolutely everywhere and not hard to get away from everyone. Its nicest part of the province IMO. Lots of large cheap acreages for sale literally on the border of town or in Thornhill. They usually get tons of snow, and Shames Mountain is the best, least well-known and least busy, ski hill in the province. Not sure if you're into sledding or not but its a snowmobiler's paradise.
There's also been some major investments by Asian companies buying lots of land that they're developing near the airport. The city is exploring building an inland port, so shippers can divert down to Kitimat if need be instead of going straight to Rupert. Rio just spent a few hundred million upgrading the smelter in Kitimat and its now Rio's newest and most efficient smelter. And if Shell goes ahead with the LNG plant there (which the NDP gov't is supporting) that whole area's economy will be booming for decades.
Go for it man!! Good luck
