Very cool Kevshell!!! Love the Blue Roan. Mine just got here today. I had her shipped from the East coast. Had her since she was 3. She is 17 now. My other horse that is already here and her came from the same barn in Minnesota and are the same age.

Dougader, How long ago was that? Aside from the ridiculous pricing on rent/housing/land, its a beautiful place to live. I absolutely love it here.
Flathead lake is beautiful. I can't get over how clear the water in the rivers are here. Whitefish is extremely touristy. Great for people watching.

If you are going into the Bob I suggest a more potent firearm. a very nice area. When I head into the Bob, I will have my .44 mag and might even bring the 30-30. An outfitter I know says all you need is a sawed off shotgun and double ought buckshot

Both of yours look good. Hopefully we'll be able to connect at some point. Otherwise we'll just have to share pictures.

Started to click "like" on a pic, then stopped. Scrolled thru the rest of these 3 pages and well, just consider them ALL liked. When we were in the Bob, we were under 40lb packs. We stopped just short of the chinese wall, south of. Access, trailhead was via Augusta. I anxiously await seeing your pics. Fingers crossed that the trip comes together for you soon !

Find a good halfway point at some time and make it happen!! But in the meantime, we'll definitely continue to share the pictures. I share a bunch on Instagram if anyone is interested. @hounder71 Private account but just put a request in.

I can't get over how clear the water in the rivers are here. Whitefish is extremely touristy. Great for people watching. Late 80s, early 90s. Then a return in ~2002 to a rental cabin on Flathead. My ex's stepmom has family over that way, too. It is extremely beautiful.

An outfitter I know says all you need is a sawed off shotgun and double ought buckshot You must have a slug gun kicking around from the slug gun days for deer. As you know a very effective tool!!!!! Not a bad option to pack. Have the option for slugs,buckshot or birdshot.

Yeah time flies.
Someone posted on the forum long ago about their 1920s vintage Colt 44 special and how it had become an extension of their body as they ventured about on horseback through the Rockies - their “one gun”.
At the time you were in NY but now you are there. Maybe your number five will become that!

At the time you were in NY but now you are there. Maybe your number five will become that! It's got a good start on making it! I've gone out and shot it and packed it more since I moved here than in the last couple of years combined!
