I’ve enjoyed our conversations my friend, keep in touch and enjoy your trip brother.

Unfortunately just changing Airports Art! This job should be my last one though!

Don’t rush it! Once you retire you have less time to get things done, because you’re older and get tired quicker! LOL!!!

Here's how I moved approximately 60 mounts several years ago. I'll do it again in less than two years with 75+ mounts now They are all attached with 3" drywall screws from the back into the wood, then the mount.

Cody, as everyone has said, good luck on the move to Alder. Give me a PM sometime after you settle in, I live just over the hill in Ennis and work one day a week in Sheridan at the hospital. We’ll have to meet up and talk hunting. Best of luck on the move

Cody, we are gonna have to hear more about this bronco! Does it resemble this old horse? Let see it!

 

[Bullthrower338]

We made it up to Montana at 1am this morning opened the trailer up this morning and
Everything made the ride unscathed! I may have took @BRICKBURN advice of more screws advice to the next level but all went well. Only problem is @tarbe and I are to old and fat to get in and under things to get the screws out!

Cheers,
Cody

Hey there @TwoTracks mine is a 72 sport Explorer with a 302 three on the tree. Not as shiny as yours appears to be yet, but it is in line for work to start.

Cody, I set the plywood mounted trophies on saw horses. I then used a battery powered Milwaukee to remove the screws. One guy removing screws and one guy topside to balance the mounts.

Whew what a relief! Congratulations to both of you on making that trip! Although I'm disappointed to hear my Goodyear Stock isn't paying off this time

I'm sure that after a little sleep you guys will figure out the screwing, or unscrewing

 

[Ragman]

Hey congrats on your homecoming Cody! That must be a great feeling. We’re now neighbours…just 620 miles away! Lol.

 

[Rickmt]

Welcome back ! Greetings from Belgrade area!

 

[VertigoBE]

Congrats on the successful move!

 

[AZDAVE]

Congratz on your move, it is a relief to be there and everything made it. Now the hard part of where does everything go starts. Montana is a beautiful place, winters will be a bit rougher than Texas but just remember to layer up. See ya at DSC.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Glad you made it without incident.
Looks like there is plenty of Elk bait in your new neighbourhood.
Good luck in your new home.

Cody...We had so much fun!! We are so happy we were able to visit with you and road trip with you and help with your exciting new chapter in life!! I had an amazing time with you and your mom and us all getting to celebrate mine and your birthdays together was very special!!
Bob and I cannot wait to come see you (and your mom) again! I'll need to oversee how many windows my room has!

Well, I’m in my second full week of work here in Montana and believe I made the right choice of location over money. The commute to work is still the same 45 minutes but it is almost relaxing instead of the murderous rage Houston puts you in! I guess Houston traffic kind of helped me in my job position there because by the time I got to work I was already pissed at the world and ready to fight with my own shadow, perfect for a contractor! My new commute.......

Big sky country!

We'll see how you feel in January but agreed almost anything other than India is better than driving in Houston.

I’m from here, I handle January in Montana much better than my fat ass handles June-September in Houston. You can always put more cloths on, they arrest you when you take to many off. Lol
