It would seem that the great majority place it north of the Black Sea,
either further west in the Ukraine area or in the western edge of the
eurasiatic steppes. Then there is the Out-Of-Anatolia Hypothesis that
doesn't have as much support.

Bomhard, thankfully, keeps to more mainstream ideas and doesn't place the
IE in Anatolia, nor does he have the language come out of Anatolia in
PreIE times.
