those living here and visitors.
Montana
has always been part of me. Born in Kalispell, I spent the first
twenty years of my life experiencing how life is suppose to be.
Summers were spent sleeping out under the stars in our backyard, riding
our bikes to Flathead Lake, rock hounding for iron pyrite in the cliffs
behind the house, and going on camping and fishing trips around northwest
Montana. Fall didn't slow our pace much; we'd spend our weekends on
the old logging roads out of Lakeside, falling trees for winter firewood.
Hunting season was about providing meat for the year, so it wasn't
uncommon for our folks to leave us for days in hopes of returning with a
couple deer, or even an elk. I never got used to deer hanging
up-side-down in our garage, but I sure enjoyed watching my Dad skin them.
Winter was a time for sledding, cross country skiing, and hauling firewood
inside. Spring was spent burning the hills around our house;
climbing trees to look at new members of our local bird family, and
bringing bundles of wildflowers home to my mom. I left Montana
when I went to College in Oregon and all I could think about was just how
great Montana really was. I only hope we can share that greatness
with you.
Aaron moved to Montana from Minnesota when he was
seven years old. His family made a home in Bigfork. Growing up
in a hunting family meant going with Dad on hunts down the Swan.
Once Aaron turned twelve, he spent every day after school during hunting
season sitting on a rock in the woods behind his house with his bow.
After spooking numerous bucks that season, everything finally came
together and he got his first deer, a nice doe. Needless to say,
since then Aaron has discovered what a passion he has for hunting.
Growing up in hunting and fishing families introduced us
to so many experiences in the outdoors, and now we carry those experiences
into our lives together. We moved to Alaska after we we're married,
and to make a long story short, we met David and Linda Johnson of the
Alaska Outdoors Directory. We had been using this great resource to
learn the ins and outs of Alaska, and found it very helpful.
It is our hope that we can provide such a resource for Montana. We
hope everyone who finds Montana Outdoors Directory can take something with
them when they leave and maybe even leave something for the next person
searching for a new experience in "The Last Best Place".
MontanaOutdoorsDirectory.com is managed by two of us. Aaron works
with graphics, he's in charge of our bookstore, and he is my main support.
We have great support from our affiliate website in
Alaska.
