A herd of antelope was once elected to public office in Montana.
Unfortunately, they didn't manage to institute many policy changes prior to the opening of Hunting Season and their sudden (yet legal) demise, leaving Montana without a full governing body until the following Election.
This event created the fabled Montana lottery election where each winner is allowed to stone his predecessor to death before taking office.
Except in Eastern Montana, where Stones are a rare and valuable building material (the straw and stick ranch houses were found to have and inherent structural instability when confronted with wolves), so instead they use hard, sun-dried cow chips.

In Montana you're safe from rattlesnakes as long as you stay on the concrete paths. The reason is that even the rattlesnakes are afraid of Montana construction quality.

Ain't that the truth. Our last 30-40 miles of Montana was nothing but construction, moving at 30mph because we got stuck behind an RV that was stuck behind an oversize load. When the RV tried to go around, the Oversize pace car got in front of it, making it impossible for us to pass, driving slow as hell. I believe that was when the radio chatter turned to "This is Montana not wanting us to leave."

Sounds like a saying in my city;
Ottawa has two seasons: Hockey and Construction.
The problem is that "Soviet Montana" is an oxymoron of the highest order. This is Montana, Land Of The Free. How free? We didn't have an open container law untill 2005.
No, that's neither a typo or a joke. Yes, it makes me cry.
Also, Montana is where men are men, women are scarce, and the sheep run scared.

However since 1987 it is illegal for citizens to walk on paved areas in Montana unless they are pregnant and barefoot.

Do you have any idea how many years it's been since I've seen that sign?
Whatever the number, it's not nearly enough.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I hate highway driving in the summer.
edit: that sign isn't quite as silly as it initially appears... rattlers like hanging out in tall grass. Well, they actually like hanging out everywhere, and there's certainly no magical force field that keeps them off of concrete, but they're much harder to see in tall grass than they are on, say, a sidewalk or paved surface. While they definitely could have worded it better (snakes have been observed? WTF?), it's definitely valid.
Unless you're talking about the bullet holes, in which case you're absolutely right.
Well North Dakota has an awesome liquor store (Happy Harry's Bottle Shop) and a Jimmy John's that opened an hour early to accommodate our schedule. All Montana had was a McDonalds with a staff that had never seen a crowd as big as ours.
You obviously weren't in the right parts of Montana. The state Liquor store here is like a freaking boutique of goodness.
You haven't lived in Montana till you've experienced a week where 0 degrees was the high temperature.
Come to Ottawa in the winter, then tell me what livin ain't :P
"in the summers of 1986 and 2001, to a record low of -38.9 °C (-38 °F) being recorded on December 29, 1933, the third coldest temperature recorded in a capital city (after Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Moscow, Russia)."
That doesn't count wind chill. WITH wind chill it frequently hits -45 on the colder days in winter here.

I lived in Temagami, bumfuck nowhere, Northern Ontario for six months.
It's so cold there they did a Survivorman on the same lake.
About the same temp there as Ottawa gets, I guess.
It was -40 (Celsius and Fahrenheit meet at 40 below) WITHOUT windchill, one morning.
And we were out smoking cigarettes.
That's so cold you get frostnip in fifteen minutes.
And we were SMOKING. heh.
Anyway, it was freaking cold there, and I'm glad I live back in California now.

Montana - "Welcome to Montana. Oh, are we in your way? I'm sorry. Where ya headed? Seattle, WA? Well ya what, if you don't want to drive through our state, this is what you need to do. Head back to Fargo, ND, Drive south till you hit Omaha, NE. The head west till you hit Salt Lake City. Then head up past Boise, ID to Portland, OR. Then you can take the hellish I-5 up into Seattle. Don't worry, it's only an extra 900 Miles to your journey."

Why would you go from Boise to Portland, when you can just continue north through Idaho until you hit I-90?

Which is why the National Bison Range is their most treasured resource.
And is also why buffalo don't want anything to do with public office. In Montana, the buffaloes don't want to be stoned to death with their own poop.
