YES!! We are very close to being neighbors! I've done some hunting on the Miller Ranch around Wilsall -- never seen that many deer in one place at one time! Beautiful country.

Have you ever dined at the Rib & Chop House in Livingston? Good ol' LSU graduate opened that place. We drive all the way over there for a plate of calamari, and the bison ribeye is fabulous. LOL

Closer even than you think.

I have a little piece of bare ground just south of Wilsall that I once intended to build on but haven’t done it. Friend of mine told me he was driving up there early the other morning and saw 40 elk wandering around between the river and highway.

At the risk of reigniting the battle—lol!—we sagely agreed that the unexpected visit probably had to do with the wolves in the Crazies, which have the smaller herds traveling here and there in places where they usually aren’t.

That’s the theory among us non-experts anyway.

Funny, I was just chatting the other day with someone about the people behind the Chop House opening but I can’t remember what was said. Locals sure love it—and the place is always busy, ain’t it?

I’m pleased to make your acquaintance. You’ll have to let us know if you folks fly-fish at all. Both of our little spots offer river access, which is not a huge deal, but it can mean getting a line in the water in less time & with less hassle. Of course, you are probably on the Gallatin already, which is some very fine fishing indeed.

Listen, we’ll buy y’all (did I say that right?) a round at the Bank Bar in Wilsall one of these days. Let us know when you’re in the area...

Not to hound (pun intended!) you two but here’s a story from today’s Billings paper.

If the link allows you to access the comments page you can see the reaction of most of the locals. Yes, yes, the Panama-hat-tie-dyed dress crowd comes in with all kinds of ideas for “coexistence” with the noble lupus.

Problem is at the same time the beautiful wolfies are busy killing everything in sight. Even if, temporarily, they is out of sight.

I won’t bug you guys again with this stuff. Just seemed kind of timely.
