Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Arctic hell

So anybody thinking of moving to Montana, to get away from it all.... well be prepared for arctic hell.... this pic is 4/18/21 yep today.......

Snowing like a bastard here too lol.

Supposed to snow here in south Kansas on Tuesday.

ya that does not look appealing

The only place worse than Montana is Wyoming! Unless you’re seeking a short life of misery through endless winter.....stay away! 🙂 memtb

Damn Gruff , it's getting worse.... maybe an April blizzard, I have seen the before, usually on top of the mountain during a spring bear hunt

I was actually on the phone with an azzhole we both know watching it kick up. Geese were paddling around on the pond like WTF?

I love it.

Wow!
Pretty Christmas card scene .

Isn't that where Jeremiah Johnson was filmed?

I think I know of whom you speak....


I love it too.... reminds the flatlanders who's boss

Looks good to me. Waiting on all that global cooling schit to drive all the jacklegs out of there so I can eventually find a place to live. Prices are stupid right now.

I think most of those are filmed in the Valley. Mob owns most of the action.

Oh yeah, they sure did and do....
I got curious and see that it was filmed in a lot of locations, especially in Utah.

"Utah
The enchanting aesthetic of the movie is credited to the vast expanse of Utah, where the movie was shot. The movie covers almost 100 locations, including Robert Redford’s backyard in Sundance, the Alpine Loop in Provo, and American Fork canyons. At that time, Redford owned properties in Utah spanning over 600 acres, which assisted in the production of the movie.
Many scenes were shot on the backside of Mount Timpanogos near Redford’s personal property named Sundance, situated at State Highway 92, Sundance. Redford was captivated by the Timp Haven ski resort there, which is why he bought it and changed its name to Sundance, after his character in ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.’
He and director Sydney Pollack fought against studio executives who were initially not supporting their idea of extensive filming. As expected, the crew faced several problems during production. Pollack said that the snows of St. George in southern Utah were terrible, and they had to use Cinemobiles as lifelines. Beaten down by the weather and heavy budget, the crew had to make do with first takes.
Other scenes were filmed in significant reserves of nature, such as the Zion National Park, Ashley National Forest, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, and Uinta National Forest situated in the southwestern, northeastern, northern, and north-central parts of Utah, respectively. Other locations in Utah include Leeds and St. George. The Snow Canyon State Park, located at 1002 Snow Canyon Drive, near St. George, also makes an appearance.

Arizona
The movie was partially filmed in Arizona. The production team made good use of its weather and geography, two things that the state is majorly known for. A few scenes were filmed at the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, which is sprawled over more than 280,000 acres. It touches the Utah-Arizona border. Other locations include Kayenta and the Tsegi Canyon situated in Navajo County; Mexican Water, a community located in Apache County; and Paiute Wilderness, which dominates the northwestern portion of Arizona."

Beautiful shirt sleeve weather at the Oregon coast today. Yes, I know all Oregon sucks and only bad people live here but it was beautiful

I think I will drive there tomorrow..... seriously

Scott, I am surprised this thread smoked you out of the woodwork....:)

Some years we have snow in June. Always get some snow in May.

As long as it is wet might not be so bad.

At least it's water.

I’ve got two feet of snow in my yard and the ice isn’t going out for at least 3 weeks.

Sack up.

Hell yeah..... where are you? Minnysoda? lol
Oh Ak , duh.... the real arctic hell

You two are carrying on like this is strange to you. How long have you lived in Montana? I've seen 8" in Whitefish in early June, 26" near Eureka (up Grave creek) on August 20, and, commonly, mountain snowstorms on July 4. OP is right, newcomers need to be prepared.
