Wayne's place is our destination we're bringing some parts out to him and making a few other stops along the way. I love goin' to Montana, it's really nice out there.
 
Is that a land and shoot hunt or airborne hunt? Easy to spot those navigators from the air!
 
Tourism-isms...

An engineer friend of mine, from Bozeman taught me a new Phase. When the Yuppies from Silicon Valley started moving to Montana. They brought with them their Beliefs and lifestyles. He Refers to them as "Californicators"... He said it has something to do with the fact they tend to F#$% things-up...
 
A guy from Indiana told me one time that Montana is where Men are men and smell like horses! Must have something to do with the fact that we work--and sweat--summer and winter. Please keep your passion for Montana quiet there are getting to be too many Californicators here already!!
 
Since I have no reason to question the truth of your story Gaston, I offer up another....

On a tour of Montana, the Pope took a couple of
days off to visit the
mountains for some sightseeing. He was cruising
along the campground in the
Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion
just at the edge of the
woods. A helpless man, wearing sandals,
Hawaiian shorts, a save-the-whales
tee shirt and a tree-hugger hat was struggling
frantically, thrashing around
trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10
foot grizzly bear. As the pope
watched horrified, a group of loggers came
racing up. One ran up and quickly
fired a .44 mag into the bear's chest. The
other two reached out and pulled
the bleeding semiconscious man from the bear.
Then using long clubs, the
three loggers beat the bear to death and hauled
it to their truck.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them
to come over. "I give you my
blessing for your brave actions!" he told
them. "I heard that there was
bitter hatred between loggers and environmental
activists. But now I have
seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his
buddies "Who was that?" "It was
the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct
contact with God, and has access to
all of God's wisdom." "Well," the logger said,
"he may have access to God's
wisdom, but he sure doesn't know anything about
bear hunting. By the way, is
the bait holding up okay, or do we need to go
back to Massachusetts and grab
another one?"
 
Montana is where Men are men and smell like horses!

I'd always heard it's where men are men and sheep are scared!
Maybe that was Wyoming.

SB
 
I don't know if there is any truth to this or not but I have heard that if you cross a man from Montana and a Wyoming sheep you'll get a husky pilot from Anchorage.
 
It's funny you mentioned sheep and Wyoming together. I was just telling a friend about how the Husky came to be. They designed the backseat big enough that they could haul their favorite sheep with 'em.

Or as the joke goes...

...Not the sheriff's girl!!!
