Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Snowbirds are pûssies

well not the whole winter. hunting and surfing sucks before about mid to late january... then stay as long as ya want. stags keep their antlers until about september.

tahr and chamois hunting is obviously year round but both don't get real good winter coats until mid to later in march.

then the roar kicks off in april.

january 20th to may 20th is about right. then get a few weeks in at home before the terrorists i mean tourist start swarming. lol

Just go shoot a red stag out of my Father in Law's sheep yards.

I live 35 miles north of the Arctic Circle and the snow birds here go down to MT/WY/ID for the warmer weather and longer days....

Heck yeah!


I am headed north to meet some family some day.


Going to Kiana.

I know Kiana. My sister taught there for two years while I taught in Ambler. She had a janitor threaten her and I drove down and knocked on his door with my 44 Superblackhawk. He was nice as could be ever after and did her a couple of solids later on. They just have to know that you have people or grit or both and they fasten to you. I know the Shellabargers and the other folk from there. Squirrel river is a beautiful river.

That's where my biological grandfather was from.

Still folks there with the same last name. Cousins I guess.

my cousin ricky was the special ed teacher

best friend is the shop teacher in noatak.

They just claim to be Montanas so they can pay our state income tax.
I think you may have gotten your argument wrong in your jealous rage.

Calm down it's been a long winter but Spring has sprung.

You should consider becoming a resident while visiting Alaska, lots of free state money and no income or sales tax.
The Alaskan resident hunting privilege is grand!

You'd be just like Ted Turner, just another outta stater that owns a entire county in Montana.

Happy 4th!

I never really dealt with any when I lived in Montana but I lived more toward the middle of the state and on the Hi-Line. The area Gruff moved to sucks.

But down here I see tons of them in the winter and I would consider them to be some of the worst human beings that are barely alive. Everyone says Canadians are polite but I do not agree. They drive like fugking schit and their brains also seem to process things at 50% speed. If I were Supreme Ruler of the land no Canadian would be allowed to set foot on our soil. And in all likelihood I would invade and enslave them.

I also can't grasp leaving the north in winter or fall because (to my mind) those are the best times to be there.

We will likely end up with two homes at some point but neither one will be in tourist heaven. I suspect that's the main reason Gruff is angry about them. They really flock to his area.

Plus he's just sort of an ass hole anyway.

Johnson actually.


Guy at work calls me Bernstien, I add 'Berger to his last name.
Neither Jewish, but both could be called "A Jew".😉😁😁


Nothing wrong with stretching a buck!

Still get you profiled.
A creek is the noise your knees make.

A crick is where you dump waste oil, or terminate the sewer line.

lots of them down here.

An ass hole that don't have a winter residence.

Just about every creature migrates to one form or another of a wintering ground.
The damn birds even have enough sense to figure that out.

Humans on the other hand make vain attempts of creating controlled environments in attempt to find year round comfort in a single location.

They either pay sky-high untiliy bills or endure a lot of manual labor in doing so, a lot of sense that makes.

Grinds on a guy as he grows older.

Gruff's just burned out from another winter gone by and finding envy for those that found a simpler way.

If I had to choose a Montana location today as a seasonal residence it'd be in the foothills along the eastern front, Augusta or north there of.

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what a “snowbird” really is.

A “Snowbird” goes south for the worst part of the winter. Any idiot going north for the summer would be a “Sunbird” or something similar.

Get it straight or start a thread on how to be confused about little or nothing…

The blessings of air conditioning! 😉

I don't that I could ever see myself essentially moving every 6 months. F that.

And the last thing I'd want to do is give up winters. 2nd best time of the year after fall.

You ought to see the look on Québécois snowbirds faces when you’re standing next to them in the line at the Love’s truck stop in Three Rivers Tex wearing wore out Wranglers and an old dirty black resistol and start talking French to em!

There eyes get big.

If there was no A/C here like when I was a kid, no one would live here. Snowflakes would melt.

Did a lot of research on the construction methods used in hot climates back it the day.
It's pretty interesting, a lot of methods that are seldom to never seen anymore.
Many of which we should revert back to, when was the last time you used a 10ft long crank to open a high window?

There was reason.
