Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Watch out Montana,here we come!

The East Texas rednecks are headed your way next month.I'm looking for any advice to try to fit in.So far I've come up with aviators(deflave),Bud Light(Sammo and Rancho),Leopard print thongs(ingwe).Sorry I just can't do that ingwe.Any other advice? I want to fit in and be cool!

Don't try to make it like back where you came from

Assume everyone you meet is going to be like one of those 4.

. . . and try to figure out which one.

EH don't worry about that,We have to deal with that all the time with the city slickers moving into our neck of the woods.Just coming for the week.Cheyenne,just stirring the pot.Will be visiting Glacier and surrounding area.Any tips or advice welcome.

Go ugly early.

Don't argue.

Love MT for what it is, not what you think it should be.

Go ugly early.

When the weather gets bad, drink copious amounts of alcohol.

If you want to fit in with a new crowd, ask them if they know shrapnel. There is no [bleep] way in Christ they won't know who that man is. He is the Chuck Norris of Montana and you will have a nice icebreaker to discuss.

Go ugly early.

GFY=Good morning/afternoon/evening.

When somebody is standing at a crosswalk as you approach in your vehicle; be sure to stop and let them cross. It took me 6 months to figure out why people would randomly scream "Thanks ass hole!" I kept assuming it was last Friday's date, but I was wrong.

Hope this helps and GFY.

Are you camping in Glacier? I can help you out with that and tell you which trails to hit. And what are the dates of your arrival?


Travis

just returned from a trip to E Glacier area camping and fly fishing.

Let mr know if you want any info.

Drive a 4 wheel drive pickup, don't wash it for at least 2 months of muddy driving, remember we are friendly people when you drive a pickup. If you were thinking of driving a Subaru or Volvo, forget it and don't even start. We let one guy into Montana about 12 years ago with a Volvo and there are now over 1500 wolves here too.

This was my resume a few years ago before I bought a Dodge pickup...

No camping.Will be flying in.Want to go on the Going to the Sun Road Trip.Would like to do some white water rafting and anything else to keep a 14 yo girl interested.Any other tips appreciated.And deflave,GFY.

Day hikes?

Still dependent on what days you come in. Most of the trails out that way are still around 90% snowpack this time of June.

Sounds like me Shrapnel.The Baby Girl washed it this weekend because it was starting to embarass her.(I hate that) Couldn't find any trucks to rent.I'll just tell everyone my name is ingwe!

Will be second week of July.Just booked flights and lodging.Open for ideas at this point.Got my aviators ordered.Wifey might take offense if I go ugly early.GFY.

I washed the pickup last August. My dad has never washed a pickup.

Montanans are just like Texans, except they've matured and don't boast of everything.

Try not to stay married too long. It's exhausting.

You can see a lot of gorgeous hiking the trails around the Many Glacier entrance. Some are short, some are long. You can PM me if you want. I may be in the park that weekend.

GTTS road is pretty cool.

Great book, I'm reading it right now..

One thing I learned quick about Montana..

You need to drive fast on the highways. When you get to the speed where you are truly terrified, you'll still need to pick up the pace or some granny in a pick up will blow your azz into the weeds.

Aw Hell don't put me in that boat.I'm just a dumbass ole country boy.Been wanting to see that country since I was knee high to a grasshopper.Wanting to make the best of it while I am there.

Watch out, Volvo driver here...
