I just came back from a few days at my bud's place near Trout Creek (Western Montana) and to quote Pugs, the level of how much you people that live there SUCK has no equal. What an absolutely magnificent place, and not just the scenery and game, but the folks as well. He has about 150 acres deep in the woods (about 7 miles from Trout Creek) and full of game. He also owns horses and mules for hunting/fishing and next year I have a DIY hunt set up for elk/deer. Can't wait! Here is the SPECTACULAR view from his back porch

I wish I could get the wife to waive the 51/100 rule and retire there, so I'll have to settle for maybe a second home.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
