My oldest son graduated and is moving from Helena to Great Falls. So now we drive from I-90 to State Hwy 200 to Great Falls. Which is a beautiful drive (Montana is truly God's Country IMO). Anyway, here's some wildlife we saw along the way:
This was sad - the vehicle in front of us tried to stop but couldn't. The cougar was a small one, maybe 50 pounds?
Big horn sheep grazing just off the hwy.
Dinner. I already am trading salmon for Montana beef from Matt's fiancée's dad (he's a rancher) and soon will have the chance to hunt deer and elk, and anything else that's legal.
Not to mention, the Missouri river looks so great to float! I saw a dozen or so drift boats working the river on the drive to Great Falls. One of these years the pontoon is coming along for a visit!

Re: Montana Wildlife...
i witnessed a cougar get clobbered by a car by mccleary, thats probably rarer then being struck by lightning.

Great falls has some monster mulies! Always a good thing to have connections to montana. Hunting is incredible!

Re: Montana Wildlife...
Montana was known for its great drivers. They can make a ewe turn better then most.
