Don't mean to spook you, but hi-line communities are generally tough weather and quite a cultural change for most everyone.
If you go with eyes open and don't fixate on the negatives, I could see it being a great opportunity. As other have said, bird hunting is good. Plenty of fishing. Lot of hunting available. Just don't move there and expect to be able to shop for whatever you want/need at 9 pm. Don't let the weather get you down. It can be a bitch, but there's a certain ego-boost when you learn to adjust and deal with whatever is thrown your way.
Most of the folks I know up there are really good people. If I can help in any way, pm me. I live a ways away, but am pretty familiar with the state in general and have some contacts up there.
Good luck. If you're flying into Great Falls, be sure to stop in the Sip'n Dip.
