Montana
Cowboy hats, rustic living, and the daring task of wrangling grizzly bears might epitomize the mental image of those traversing the expanse of this splendid state. Ranches aplenty and a bovine populace that rivals the cowboys required to oversee them characterize this landscape.
The irony lies in the European perception of Montanans—despite the modern cowboy cinema, the stereotype leans nostalgically toward the past. Not to imply that every Montanan fits this mold, but it's likely that many have evolved beyond this antiquated perspective!
