I am also thinking about moving ... possibly to Northern Utah. My wife's sister/family live in West Valley City and her brother just moved there this past weekend. We went to Las Vegas and Utah on our honeymoon back in April for two weeks. I have always wanted to live near the mountains. We had a great time and actually got in a little fishing. We saw a lot of mule deer, some wild turkeys, and prairie dogs. The country was beautiful and my wife fell in love with it ... so .... it could be a reality next spring/summer.
Montana has always interested me as I am a "cowboy" fan ranging from movies to firearms to horses. Lever action rifles and six shooters are in my collection along with bolt actions and shotguns. My dream has been to hunt antelope first and mountain lion second. I'll be watching this forum for info. Thank you for your contributions.
