Steps to become a Mt Resident? (Sunburst: buy, college, living)

[Riley's Mommy]

What are the steps to become a Mt Resident. I just relocated to this big beautiful state!

#1. Move to MT.
#2. Stay a while
#3. I think you are a resident!

It's not like moving to a new COUNTRY or anything!

Just go get a new DL.

Officially I think you have to be here a year to get the "local" prices on college and such. Same thing for hunting.

It just takes time to become a permanent resident. Nothing else!

Welcome to Montana and welcome to the "board" !

1. Get your Montana Driver's License.
2. Register your vehicle(s) Be advised, any vehicle over 11 years old, all motorcycles, and all trailers can be permanently registered. boats, too, but you have to get a new sticker every now and then to keep the Coast Guard happy. The stickers are free, though.
3. Register to vote.
Congratulations, you are now a Montana resident. In 6 months to a year, you can get resident fishing and hunting license(s) (check the current regulations, I don't remember for sure).

To be a resident you have to do the following:

1. Come to my barn and clean out all three horse stalls while singing, "Where the deer and the buffalo roam."

2. You have to shovel snow off your driveway when its only -10 degrees with nothing more on your hands then frozen socks because you misplaced your good gloves.

3. You have buy a green Subaru outback.

4. You have to complain about outsiders (its very rude but its kind of a pass time here. Blame them for everything that's wrong with the world. You can even blame them for you not being able to find your good gloves and having to wear frozen socks on your hands while shoveling the snow in -10 degrees if you want to-- makes about as much sense as the other stuff we blame them for.)

5. You have to go to wave back when we wave at you. I don't know why we do this but it makes us feel good.

6. You have to go to at least two rodeos a year. This is our state sport, we LOVE our rodeos. Rodeos and beer go together like peanut butter and jelly.

After you have done each of these things you are a citizen of our great state.

Welcome.

In addition to the "requirements" mentioned by AQHA, the following will also help:

Sell your existing vehicle and acquire a 10 to 12 yr old Dodge Ram P.U. with at least 2 dents in it, tires that don't match and mud flaps that have a naked lady on them.

Make sure you have a gun rack in the rear window and a beat up "ought-6" in the rack and a coiled up Lariat hanging from the rack also.

Also make sure you have at least 15 empty beer cans rolling around in the P.U.bed.

Your foot-wear should be an old, scuffed up pair of western boots with the heels worn way down and show evidence of never having had ANY boot polish applied.

And last but most important.......a bumper sticker that reads:
"MONTANA NATIVE".

P.S. Oh, by the way.....your choice of Sunburst, MT is excellent...the cost of living there is about 20% lower than the national average. Good Luck.

I have to admit, I had not seen these until I got to Montana, I actually walked up to the pickup because I could not believe that is what I was seeing

Break the habit of interchanging truck and pickup. Trucks haul grain.
Recognize that store hours will adjust accordingly to basketball game schedules.
Noone works during hunting season.
Find the Cabala's website!
Keep posting on the forum, nice to meet you.
