Welcome! I really like the Livingston area, beautiful place. Can't give you any advice on where to hunt there, but I am sure you will figure it out once you are there.

PS, I moved to MT about 3 yrs ago. People will most likely be a little shy to trust at first. But just try to become part of what is here and the ways things are done. Leave all " The way we did it's" back where you came from and just enjoy the way it is here. I showed up to help with some fence building and brandings and met some good friends / neighbors. Once they seen I was not afraid to get dirty and help a neighbor or two things were alot friendlier. Best advice I have for ya is be a good neighbor. In just 3 short years I have made some of the best friends of my life. We simply love Montana and the people here.

Well 2 good things. Belt has a brewery, and your wife should be able to connect you to some good hunting in the Highwood

You ain't seen wind til you been to Livingston. About 20 years ago, I was reading a Patagonia catalog. There was a guy in a pic that had his coat unzipped and was holding it by the bottom at both zippers. He was about two feet off the ground. The wind was making him fly! Yep, Livingston.
Several years ago, the road up the pass was blocked off due to wind. They have gates across the interstate for just that occasion. Whe the wind came up, it blew a couple semis off the road and there were emergency vehicles attending. One "trucker" thought he knew better than everybody, so he drives around the gates. He gets up to the scene and his truck is blown over on to two Sheriffs' vehicles. I imagine he no longer has a CDL.
One more. When I was in college in Bozo, they had just started to develop wind power. There were three big windmills on the flat east of Liv. that the University used for info. One day I am reading the Sun. paper and the headlines say "Windmill blows down"! I guess the brake failed and the blades broke the sound barrier before coming off.
Pretty country, but everything leans! Don't mean to scare you. Now everything will seem mild in comparison.
