My family were among the first Cattle Ranchers here & we still run Ranch's our family is all born & bred .
I have posted on this before ,my wife & l are moving into that phase of our life where we have our business's purring along ,the Ranch infrastructure at where we want it & sit on a 350 acres Ranch Homestead block we own out right ,with just over 1800 acres we run in partnership with a relative of our Cattle Ranch land surrounding us, in some of the best hunting grounds in America.
My "office "at my Ranch ,this is what we call our Montana Patriotic Red ,White & Blue on show every day in my 'office' -
All good huh...well.....?? Just a few months ago my wife & l came to the realization that we are looking at Montana being probably 10 years behind a Libtard invasion like Texas.Her family was in the final stages of buying a Ranch that is only really suitable for a working Ranch & in a area cut off for long periods in big winters,at the last minute they were Gazumped by another Silicon Valley invader that paid a ridiculous amount ,well over market price for the land .
I remember back to when Letterman did the media circuit after buying his Ranch here in the 1990's , then show casing it for years after to any media that would have him,to pay for upgrades & led to a massive influx of the big end of town .We call them 3 Winter Dude Ranch's ,they soon find conditions can be harsh & isolated & the novelty wears off after a few years, if all you do is lock yourself in on your couch away from the scary outdoors .
The problem we now see, is now they have worked out owning a lot of land needs a commitment & it is not a Disney fairy tale,they are moving in large numbers into the cities .Montana is tipped to be a IT hub in the near future,with many of the Silicon Valley refugees now taking up positions in local government .
So we now are going to sit down at the start of next year & do some serious thinking on whether we stay here into our retirement over the next decade or look at moving to either a bigger Ranch (meaning taking on huge debt again) here ,or move completely or stick it out & if it becomes a major take over reap the high land prices while spending a few years putting up with the cluster fuck that will ensue .
We are lucky in States like Montana still have a formal rural property code which are referred to as the "Code of the West", a caution adopted by a number of western counties. The Code warns newcomers wishing to locate in rural areas of the county not to assume that their rural road will be plowed immediately after every snowfall, that a farmer's field treatments may raise dust that will drift across the property line, that a rancher's cows may moo on the other side of the property-line fence all night, that if there is an emergency it may take an ambulance, fire truck or sheriff's deputy a while to respond, that rural areas may be subject to uncontrollable wildfires, and more.
Basically, the Code declares, people living in rural areas are and must be more independent, self-regulating and tolerant of local practices and customs than their city-dwelling cousins.
So the short take is Montana is suffering from the same disease the rest of the world suffers from ,based citizens live in the rural areas while Libtards are taking over the cities & local governments,leading to them slowly trying to make it like the Libtard shit hole they crawled out of .
This makes me sad. I am in Colorado now but I came from Austin. I’m tired of living in liberal places and would love to move to Montana. I’ve been planning on it for almost six years now, ever since I went out there in a work trip and fell in love. (Been back to visit four times since then, even in the winter).
I don’t know if there are any places left that are safe from liberal invasion but I hope you and your family find something that works for you.
Well the election went about as good as we could get locally & my family actually know Greg & Steve personally & they are stand up guys ,the older family members have been involved with local GOP for decades (my dad was feet away from the body slam set up as he was ready to punch the moron out). So that gives us hope, what needs t happen now is over the next 4 yrs a effort must be made from stopping the Libtard refugees getting in to power positions in the local government .
l keep telling my wife l am all for buying a large remote spread & walking around all day in a Bear coat , smoking a pipe ,with my gun slung over my shoulder ,muttering about corrupt government officials as per Col. William Ludlow in Legends of the Fall, she just rolls her eyes & walks off muttering why me & mother warned me for some reason ?
Just a couple of weeks ago we had a perfect example of why we love living here, the family has run a guiding operation as a side line for decades,so l have a few guns & shoot a bit more than most.
Last few years l have looked after the Alpine hunting side of the guiding & been hooked into Long Range Hunting so we have been building some Hi Spec rifles,so l built a 1600 yard range on our Homestead block.My uncle & l just finished building him a 338 Lapua Magnum when he was getting supplies the local Police chief was in there checking how hunting season was going ,so we ended up with a BBQ on my range for 5 Cops ,3 Wardens & the Fire Chief all shooting guns & lined up excited to shoot his 338 Lapua Magnum,my custom 338 Wildcat hunting rifle , new custom 458 Lott & a few of our other toys .
Not many places in the world let alone America that would happen & very few even Western countries where the average Joe gets to personally interact & be friendly with Government officials & representatives no strings attached.
Seeing you love our country so much & are a patriot f you head up this way again,if you want give me plenty of notice( as l travel a lot with our business) you are welcome to come out & have a look around the Ranch,if you like horses the wife runs a horse breeding & riding school you can go chase some cattle around & have a look around or have a shot on the range, as l m a Military trained firearms Instructor & coach .

That’s so awesome. And you’re absolutely right - there’s no way something like that would happen anywhere else.
And lol your poor wife 😂
