First of all, I apologize if this post seems unwelcommed (and if my english is bad) here, but I saw a poll here, a little old, but you were judging which city in Montana is worst - that's how I found you. I'm writing something I'd like to call a novel, but it would be a little pretencious, so let's say I'm writing something for my own pleasure. I'm French, and my scene would takes place in Montana. It's an apocalyptic version of our world, and people come from anywhere in Montana. I've made researches, and this state just looks incredible. But even if I search here and there, I can"t really find Montana people who TALK about their home. Unfortunately, I can't come visit (or more!) for now, so please... I need answers, I need descriptions, I need your advices...
It seems that Montana is a "sportive" state ? I think sports and fishing are two great points of your state ? (This, and the magnificent places, mountains, rivers... Ahh!)
Are people here sportives because of your culture, or do they need to be interested in ? What I mean is : are you "pushed" into sports when you are young ?
Also, I need a character who would be like a "redneck" (in a positive way I guess), which means for me that he could be able to use properly a knife, hunting, fishing... You know ? He would live in a small city which sucks a little (people here talked about Browning ?

Edit : If a character has parents who work in the army, is there a place where he could have lived ? Like a military base ?
Edit ² : And, could I ask you how people are in Montana ? I mean, their politics, moral, etc. opinions ?
Do you get my point ?
I thank you very much for reading me, and I hope you will answer my questions (And I'm very sorry if some of my sentences aren't correct) !
