You know you're missing the south when...

My ex bf was on a back-country flyfishing trip in MT a couple of years ago. All prepared for bears, but didn't run into any. He was fishing a stream, went around a rock, and came face to face with a moose. Needless to say, he hightailed it a mile or so, with the moose in hot pursuit. He crossed another stream, and the moose stopped there on the other side. They looked at one another, and my friend said that moose had real red in his eyes!

Needless to say, I gave him a stuffed toy moose for the following Christmas....

blessings, Shen

A funny post on a bbq webring, someone is starting a bbq competiton here and a team wrote in and asked what the "flavors" of MT are since most areas have their own.. The response was the bbq flavor here has to be a$$ since that is what bbq tastes like here...
OK, I realllllly need to sell and move!

Hell, if I could afford to live near Glacier I'd sell out and leave the South in a heartbeat!! I certainly wouldn't miss the food; I can cook better BBQ, grits, catfish or cornbread than any restaurant here anyway.

I am curious, why do you think you can't afford to live here? Trust me, the majority of people make $10 and hour or less. It is not as expensive as one might think. What's getting me is the winters but that is a medical thing so I need the heat....

Moose and Elk can be very aggressive and deadly if they catch you. Last winter they had a girl run down by a buck deer out in the middle of the street after she had left a college basketball game in Missoula. Almost killed her. Had a friend who was chased by a Elk buck while in his pickup and the Elk was ramming the side over and over... Moose are absolutely nothing to fool with that is for sure!
