Native Montanans are funny. Pretty good chance going back 5 generations those folks were fresh of the boat.
Good point. And the Blackfeet brothers I grew up with in Great Falls always scoffed at us other "native" Montana guys playing cowboys and Indians, as they offered, "Yeah, we'll play too ... but you be Custer!"
 
Immigrants complaining about immigrants is always fun. :)
It's not so much a problem with immigrants, but rather where they come from and what ideology they bring with them. IME people in MT are welcoming if your not trying to convert MT to WA OR or CA.

... so it's totally cool to be born in Cali ... or Maryland...if you vote R.

People of all kinds are moving to the Rockies I don't think where you were born matters it's what you do and what you stand for.
 
Some of the plates you saw were in state on cars driven by resident liberals. No place is all liberal or all conservative.
There are always going to be a few traitors no matter where you live.😜

Where did you come from? Maybe it was one of the good states.
 
Or it could be the short sightedness and cluelessness of folks. I guarentee on an absolute numbers basis there are far more staunch Trump conservatives in CA, NY and IL, than in MT, UT or WY. I also can say from personal experience, there are some lovely places to live in CA, MA (and elsewhere).

Don't forget our new State Auditor fresh off his losing his hunting rights for illegally buying resident MT licenses while living in CA.

The Senate Fish and Game Committee ignored the will of Montana hunters and voters and passed SB 143, a bill sponsored by Sen. Jason Ellsworth, R-Hamilton, that creates guaranteed big game hunting licenses for outfitter-sponsored clients.

Montanans made their voices very clear on this issue and voted to get rid of outfitter-sponsored licenses. We believe public hunters should have a fair shot at hunting in Montana and be on equal footing in the lottery drawing. If they then want to use the services of an outfitter, they can do so. We’ve even offered up moving up the drawing date so outfitters know sooner whom to market to.

SB 143 is going to the full Senate floor and would guarantee up to 39 percent of non-resident big game licenses to be outfitter-sponsored tags. It’s time to let the full Senate know what Montana hunters think about this. Please contact senators and tell them to vote NO on SB 143.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR OWN MESSAGE.
But you can hit the following points:

Montanans have spoken on outfitter sponsored licenses and we rejected them. We hunt with family and friends from out of state and want them to have a fair chance to draw a license. And we don’t believe the government should guarantee any business customers – outfitters need to get out there and market their service. Please vote NO on SB 143.

You can send an email to senators, or call the state Capitol switchboard at 444-4800 and leave a message for Senators telling them to vote NO on SB 143.
