I lived and worked in Montana for 27 years. I worked with a lot of ranchers and lived on one for a while. The Yellowstone series takes me back to those days and I know much of the scenery having been in the forestry business there. They certainly don’t take kindly to outsiders coming in and trying to change their western way of life. The series is a pretty accurate depiction of the struggle between ranchers, wildlife, native tribes, environmentalists/preservationists, politicians and non-residents.

I remember the same thing about Eastern Oregon. All those various groups were in tension with each other. If you were in one group, you could not make friends with those in the other groups. Everyone became uptight. It was a difficult environment to be in.
