Amen brother amen to that!! Almost moved to small town Montana we learned Grandson was to be born and Montana didn't happen fifteen years ago!!! He wil tell anyone that Zortman Mt. Is his favorite place to go. He loves Montana and so do I!

Beautiful country, but Zortman's a little remote for me. My brother lives in Kalispell with a pop. of around 23.5K. and has a few more amenities.. There's a Home Depot and Montana Rifle. Even Whitefish would be agreeable to me. I used to rep Track Knives made there in another lifetime. And at the price they are now bringing I wish I had been smarter and kept all my samples. Big Sky Country is an understatement...

 

[Ol' Red]

We get these guys and mule deer in town all the time. And wild turkeys also. Blasted turkeys attacked my wife's Jeep. The only bad thing is they get hit on the street.

Roger that we worked on a church campground at middle Thompson lake about 10 years ago. I am some familiar with that area also.

Not familiar with Middle Thompson Lake so had to look it up. Never been west of K on 2 but being only a 45 minute drive away I'm sure it much the same. I'd move there in a heart beat if we wern't so entrenched in California...

Wildlife can be seen in the most unusual places. Ay my shooting club it isn't unusual to see deer on the range, groundhogs along the edges or an occasional black bear that decides to cross the range during a cease-fire. Last week, I saw a dozen turkeys just strut out of the woods and onto the firing line. I had never seen a turkey at the club before.

I wonder what might be next. ??????????

We have antelope come up on our covered porch and look inside at times. The mule deer get close, but never come up on the porches.
We enjoy seeing them... and the jackrabbits in the yard.
We don't live in town though.

Probably wouldn't be as many hit on the road Red.....if you slowed down.....and quit opening your Doors as you drive by!

Biggest traffic jam I've been part in Cheyenne was downtown on Capital and 17th. I was on the way meet with then Gov. Matt Mead. There was a herd of 15 Antelope that had sauntered off the air base to take a tour of town. I was 15 min late. He was annoyed - but knows I'm reliably prompt - so he asked me 'What happened'? When I told him that Antelope had blocked traffic for over 10 minutes, jamming everything up, he roared in laughter, saying 'That's the best Wyoming being late excuse he had ever heard'! I think he thought I might be kidding. When 3 other people showed up late after me - and all told him the same story - he was flabbergasted and amused. Then he apologized to me for doubting my original story.

We have groups of 10 to 20 bed down on our suburban property of 15 acres frequently. Glad to be in Wyoming. Best move we ever made!
