[QUOTE="Straight Shooter, post: 1740390, member: 42638"] Brotherbeard67, I am from eastern Montana. Just got back from 2 weeks up there. The economy up there is not thriving because of all the out-of-state hunting money coming in. I used to hunt the breaks, but all of the outfitters and out-of-state hunters drove me out. I am glad I am as old as I am. Just a sign of the times. Too many people with too much money. I remember an eastern Montana outfitter bragging about having huge amounts of acreage leased for his operation. You can probably guess that he was not a local. I know enough people in in eastern Montanana I could have done the same thing. But I couldn't walk down the street and tell all my friends that they couldn't hunt where they have for years because I had leased it all out so I could make money off of it. But that is just me. The local farmers can make more farming hunting opportunities than they can farming the land. Had a friend who had 120 square miles of property that we used to hunt. Five doctors from Florida bought it for 2.5 million so they would have a place to hunt for a couple of weeks a year. Local Montanans don't comprehend having that kind of money. Times change and like I said money talks. Then you have the rich people buying up ranches. I can't blame them. I would do the same if I had the money [/QUOTE]
