You'll be back....

Well wishes to you and yours Travis.

You'll be a Jimmy Buffet fan by the 4th of July. I promise. Good luck, you'll be fine. South FL is a different place. Different from anywhere else in the country. It's like hillbilly trailer trash from a KY holler bred with... well the sun. Because the hillbilly genes took over whatever it was bred with, and got a permanent sun tan. I loved south Florida on the Gulf Coast. Still got family there and all over FL.

Just remember, no one uses their turn signal. Embrace it.

I'm about to complete a journey from Seattle to Milwaukee. Decided Wisconsin was calling (Midwest was always home to me). Start work on the 18th assuming I sign for a place this week and get the movers on the calendar. Corporate drone-dom here I come. After all, Wisconsin is where cheese-eating drunks to to live out the winter.

Merry Christmas!

After a year of dealing will grandiose ball sweat, you will be begging for shot to move to wolf point. Even Browning has to better than Florida.

I’ll trade you a KY buck for a Florida gator. Safe travels...

....and bring beer if you drive through KY.

Gold Bond Medicated.

GFY

Take some tourons with you when you go.

Flave,

I can understand getting burned out on the hi-line, that place hasn't changed in the 30 yrs I have been going up there, but south Florida?
Good lord don't you know that place is plum full of liberals?

Anyhow best wishes and good luck.

Flave those are some great pics. Can’t imagine leaving Montana for Florida but I wish you and your family good luck and safe travels.

Now GFY...

Probably should pick up a Cutts Compensator for your shotgun while you're at it.

Sycamore

27 to 997.

Good luck Trav.

i think S.FL. will be a great place to be CEO of your startup company. Wishing you lots of customers.

Well its not anything like it was in 1989. The sleepy little towns along the Gulfcoast are now sprawling suburban areas with almost unbearable traffic especially from November thru April.

Im over in Fort Myers. I did my share of hunting here the last 30 years but I finally decided to give up my lease. Just too hot to really enjoy it and like I said I did it for 30 years. I hunt in Ohio and I got in a lease in Alabama which I am able to hunt there three weeks a year.

You will find fishing is where its at in South Florida. You will be located in a great spot for that. Close to the Keys , Biscane Bay and
Even fresh water fishing in the glades and canals around your area. When you get settled in get you a good 16-18 ft shallow water skiff
And have a great time.

Lots of Kayak fishing if your into that as well. Kayak fishing is my current thing. Cheap and portable. But I see myself back in a small skiff as soon as I can get a place bought on the water or a place close to a launch that I can keep the skiff. A lot of people move here and become miserable because they dont take advantage of the salt life.

Didn't Cutler move to Florida? Lol

Optional offshore or in the back country and some of the bars probably.

Yah, well that's QUITE the change! Wish ya the best - but I could never stand FL... Too much humidity and heat combined..

Drive safe - live well..

I can understand how someone could decide to not spend an entire life away from larger city amenities, especially when raising and mentoring children who are likely to spend a chunk of their adult lives in or near larger population areas. But, man, you sure cannonballed into the deep end of the pool. Best of luck to you and your family with the new situation. I’m suspect you’ll wind up somewhere out west eventually.
