Moving to Montana

[Sir Henry]

I'm thinking of moving to Montana in the next year. Most likely in the early spring. Some areas I like are Wolf Creek, Noxon, Trout Creek, or the big city of Missoula.

[JEBar]

we spend the summers in South Dakota and really like that part fo the country

[Whaler]

Montana is a good one. If I weren't so darn old I'd move back to Alaska.

[daytime dave]

I've never been there, but I really like seeing it on TV.

[White Squirrel]

Like DD, I have never been to Montana, but somehow I think I would like it.

If you do move, we expect tons of pictures.

[JCN]

Sounds nice and relaxing to me.

[Bish1309]

Would love to move to more open prairie.


Sigh

[RanchRoper]

We'll be neighbors. Have to do some shootin' together. of course I'll run out of ammo long before you run out of guns...

[Sir Henry]

I grew up in Montana and Idaho so I'm familiar with the states. Well as familiar as a ten year old can be. I like the Wolf Creek area as I've camped there in the summer for years but it is east of the divide. I prefer the west.

[Coach]

Isn't Montana crazy cold in the winter.......too cold for this California boy.

[Sir Henry]

I like the cold. I just contacted a real estate agent.

[Coach]

If you like the cold it sounds like a great place to live for you.

I would love Montana gun laws.

[Sir Henry]

If you like the cold it sounds like a great place to live for you.

I would love Montana gun laws.

That is the main reason I like Montana.

[Deadwood Dutch]

I have never been there but from everything that I have heard, seen and read it is a beautiful place to live. My father used to make an annual trip from Pennsylvania to hunt there. The gun laws there make it a plus. I wish you the very best in your search for a home in Montana.

[PT7]

If you do move, certain that you'll meet some nice folk on the Montana prairies, SH.

Enjoy your search for a new home, and also the fresh air everywhere there!

[Sir Henry]

I have a friend that lived in Belt, MT and visited him every summer for a few weeks. Open carry is common there. I remember walking into the local ma and pa grocery store and a little girl about ten years old was there unsupervised. She walked right up to me and started asking me questions as she knew I didn't live there -where ya from, who ya seeing, how long ya gonna be in town? You would never see that in a big town.

[Travlin]

Even Elmer Keith got out of Montana after a really bad winter . Good luck if you move there. I'm sure there will be a lot of places to shoot your Henrys.

[Sir Henry]

I'm looking at what they call the "banana belt". It is the warmest winters in Montana and seldom gets below zero.

[Coach]

Seldom gets below ZERO......

Does Montana have more than one banana belt? When I did a search, both the Tobacco Valley and Bitteroot Valley say they are the banana belt.

For what it's worth, I wish my town here in Wisconsin was in a banana belt.
