Cody, we are so happy for you!! It is quite gorgeous! I love my rush hour traffic here at home too! On really busy days we will have 10 or more deer. Our regular rush hour is 6+. It is rough, as in your case, but we struggle through just as you are
Very glad to hear the great update!

Congratulations on a successful move. I hunted MT numerous times during the 1980’s. Great and beautiful country.

Congrats on your move! I remember moving all my guns, reloading stuff, safes and ammo when I moved to GA, the government paid movers were not allowed to move them. I hope to never do it again. .

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.

What thickness plywood do you use and how do you attach it to the wall?

 

[Bullthrower338]

I had a bunch of 3/4 plywood so that’s what we used, 1/2 would have been a God’s Plenty though. The trailer had steel shelving built in so I attached the plywood to the front of them with self tappers

If you can find a Uhual or other moving truck with wood slats on the walls they use for attaching straps, I screwed straight into those slats.
