Who else besides me thinks Montana is a beautiful state? I mean the mountains, open prairie land, and ranch land is so wide open and free!

I will be there with my 2 bird dogs for a week in September as I usually do for sharptails, huns and sage grouse. I live about 30 minutes from Montana and spend a lot of time in the Rocky mountains throughout the spring and summer. Also a lot of time in the fall and winter on bird hunting trips further east. Yep, Montana is one of my favorite states here in the West.

Not to mention the people! Most would give you the shirt off their back, but don't cross them or you could find your picture on a milk carton!

hey wild Idaho,im from Missouri and have hunted big game in the west including Montana, id love to hunt those birds out there. Do you hunt public land and what part of the state? Same are for all 3 or different habitat for different birds?

Shoot me a PM. In places the same area for all three. Other places just a species or two. Would be happy to help in a PM. Mostly public land.

You should come see Nevada



And if you like bird hunting we have a cure for that they're called chucker lol

I've enjoyed Montana...

Montana has fair upland bird populations. Isn't Twin Falls ID pretty good for bird hunting??

We spend a couple of weeks in Montana and Wyoming every year and love it - just got back from Glacier National Park two weeks ago. Great fishing in Yellowstone and down in the Tetons along the Snake River. I always come home with a few more Newhouse's each trip - every flea market, etc out that way seems to have a few.

Beautiful country. Never been to Montana, I've spent a little time in Wyoming and Colorado. A little time, not nearly enough.

You are right about the Newhouses. The couple I have picked up have been at yard sales/flea markets here. A couple old double longs.

becoming home for a lot of Liberal Democrats

^ exactly and getting worse all the time.

Indeed. A wonderful place in all respects. Not a few here also have similarities and ties with Alaska ,and visa versa , the same feel and values in common.

Many places to find, where the best of both worlds reside, remote and town amenities enjoyed.

I sure do enjoy it

Someday I swear I wanna live there... sure beats New york

I love Montana, don't know why anyone would live here in Idaho.

For fellas that lived here all our lives,,, it's pretty darn tuff for young folks to afford a house here starting out.

Oh I can think of some reasons

There is a reason it is called the "Last Best Place".

Red my, the housing problem is bad all over. I moved from Billings to Salt Lake 7 years ago. It is worse here.
