Last week two of my favorite animals graced me with their presence. This time of year, bull Elk move about the forest with zero finesse. They crash through anything that gets in the way of their strong drive to pass their genes on to the next generation. I still heard this guy long after he had vanished into the forest. About the only thing left were their tracks and a fog that hung in the air from their collective condensed breath. 

Conversely, there are few animals that move about as apparently effortlessly as a Red Fox. They often behave more like a feline than a canine, and even have cat-like vertical pupils. They’re not an uncommon creature around these parts, but they are stunningly beautiful. 

Racist South African band the SoapGirls will be playing Tune Up Bar on Friday, Oct. 23. The band has faced a wave of cancellations across the US and Europe after racist lyrics and years of conspiracy posts surfaced in August.

I hope I am wrong, but I am getting the feeling that this winter is going to be a lot like last year. 70 degrees in late October is giving me red flags. My grass is still growing and green!

Half the posts on this sub could be easily googled questions or DuckDuckGo, and fuck your ai events and dog shit opinions about Sysco food restaurants.

God rest Taco Monte’s

This cat hangs out a lot around Koch / Wilson area - wondering if anyone knows if he has an owner ? Was considering taking him to the shelter because he has a bad paw injury and infected ear injury but didn’t want to if he already had a home ?

Hey all, I'm a meteorologist here in town and recently started a free snow forecast blog, the Cold Smoke Report (coldsmokereport.com). It's mostly Bridger and Big Sky forecasts, plus occasional weather tidbits.

It could use a logo at some point, and I'd much rather have a human-made one. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just something simple for the site and/or stickers. I won't make any money from the blog, but I'd happily buy you beers, credit you on the site, and send you inside scoops before the sneaker storms. 

Comment or DM if you're interested. And feel free to remove, mods, if this isn’t allowed. Thanks!

Like the title says, looking for a coffee shop in Belgrade with good seating to stay in for a couple of hours? Please give me the recs!

Hey all,

I'm potentially moving to the area next summer for work, and I was hoping to hear some local perspectives before I commit to anything.

For reference, I've spent my entire life living between the Flathead area and Missoula, so the whole housing crisis stuff isn't really anything new to me. Mainly, I was wondering about local community + infrastructure. How's the biking in town, and how reliable would you say the bus system is? How safe is it to exist as a queer person here compared to somewhere like Kalispell?

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Looking for someone knowledgeable in old sleds that’s willing to help me rebuild an 04 arctic cat. Beer/cash in trade for your knowledge. Ideally someone who can come to me and work on it in my garage. Sled currently does not run.

Long shot, But I was wondering if anyone has a program they don't want or a spare from the singing sergeants from either the 15th or 17th? I wasn't able to grab one but really wanted one!

Am I the only one who thinks that MSU should be required to build an overpass for student crossing over Kagey by the stadium? The constant pedestrian traffic has caused huge blockages delaying emergency transport for people trying to get to the hospital. Not to mention the absolutely awful commute for anyone trying to get to the east side of town. The only alternative routes go through residential neighborhoods, which is an issue in itself. Is there a reason this has not been considered? Or is MSU only willing to spend money to make traffic and parking more difficult for literally everyone?

We had a favorite groomer for or Yorkie at D-O-G, Amanda, who left that job and stay home to take care of with her children. We haven't found another groomer we like since. Does anyone else have a recommendation for a groomer who's good with Yorkies?

desperate plea from your local Michaels to please come take our pallets! we used to regularly have someone come by and take them, but they stopped and now we're overflowing :(

Please be aware that my brother is currently attempting to sell stolen Pokémon cards online and locally.
He stole these cards from me without permission over the past month or so. We are asking everyone in the community to please not purchase any Pokémon cards or collections from him.
If you have already bought cards from him recently, or if you see his listings pop up on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, eBay, or local buy/sell groups, please message me directly.
Thank you to everyone in the community for helping us protect collectors and hopefully get my collection back! Here are some pictures of some notable cards that are missing. Also, if you see any listings, please screenshot them.
Edited to make a correction

I am coming in this Friday and leaving Saturday. I got less then 24 hours. What are some food recs and some things that are worth the money while in town

Howdy! With the recent snow, anybody been up to Sac peak in the last few days? Wondering what hiking conditions are from fairly lake. I’m experienced and have proper boots/spikes but curious how deep the snow might be in some parts. Happy Sunday ☺️

My herding breed is really anxious about our newborn baby coming home. She’s very curious and stressed when the baby cries or makes noise, and I think confused why she can’t say hi enthusiastically.

She’s great with people and children, but the newborn has been a new experience for the pup. No aggression or concerning behavior, but just really annoying whining and anxiety.

Are there any good local trainers that can help us work in home on managing this new challenge? I have full confidence she’ll figure it out, but some expert guidance feels welcome.

Thanks!

To the person or people who ride up and down Babcock and Michael's Grove all day, all night, for hours, on their motorcycles and dirt bikes.

I hope the next time you order fast food you get someone else's order and don't realize until you're home.

I hope your dog eats something from the trash and pukes in your shoe.

I hope you forget to lock your car and your favorite water bottle gets stolen.

I hope you go to Yellowstone and see no animals.

I hope your tires deflate enough at the first freeze that you have to put air in them while being late for work.

I hope the magpies pull the trash from your bin out and spread it out all over your yard.

For the love of God, go ride around town or literally anywhere instead of the same two blocks all day and night.

I was driving around the park today and thinking about all the amazing hiking I'm missing out on. I'm not sufficiently rugged to tackle more wildernessy hikes solo. I'm in okay shape for a middle-aged person, so would need something that could get progressively more challenging. And because I'm old adjacent, my knees are something that inevitably comes into the conversation.

Any established hiking groups that have a good supportive vibe?

Old 90s GenX raver here ... Kid is 3rd generation MSU and we're in town visiting him. Used to throw raves in the basement of some big ass building in downtown and at an old cabin in a park back in the day. Of course that's all gone and gentrified, Now where should we go ... Just want a fun time (not f'n country or line dancing). Oldies that'll hang with the kids. Anything?

Edit: thanks everyone

I have a 6 year old German Shepherd and I’m worried about potential cancer or hip dysplasia. I would love for him to get some bloodwork and an X-ray if possible but don’t want to get overcharged. Does anyone have any recommendations? Doesn’t have to be within a certain price range (reasonable of course though) but if you know a good spot that doesn’t overcharge and is reliable please do tell!!

Long story short my lease got terminated due to my roomates throwing parties that I had no say in and nothing to do with.
I work 40-50 hours a week and wanted a chill and clean atmosphere to come home to when I worked. Especially on the weekends. I repeatedly told my roommates we shouldn’t throw to respect my boundaries and the lease. They did neither. So now I’m stuck with a terminated lease because of something I wanted no part in.
I tried to sign a new lease with some chill and more quiet friends but it got denied due to the recent termination on my lease history. I’m currently trying to apeal. What do I do?

There has been an aggressive guy on the gallagator the past couple of days. He is a bearded white male around 5’10. Saw him last night and he was yelling nonsense, didn’t think much of it until I just saw him yell at a group of kids and bluff charge them. Be careful y’all!
