10. Out of staters are all over the outdoor forums on social

It's not just city slickers

Hunters Fishers Hikers Campers .....outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes are flocking here

It's getting to be a standing joke the forum posts

"I just moved here from (blank) and I am used to hunting deer there. Where is the best hunting near (blank)"

Some of the replies are pretty mean, some sardonic and funny. Some helpful

And speaking of Montana winters these types of transplants are used to harsh weather. Many are from the Midwest Minn, Wisc, PA, Ohio etc

As for others I hear the heat and drought of climate change is a motivating factor

As for the cost of homes, Californians are used to that and having little access to housing, they will snap up anything
