and anything you do in life, in school, in football, as long as you got me and these coaches, this community, that's all you need. >> yeah! >> i grew up here, got married here. it's home. >> oh, my goodness. there he is. oh, i'm so proud of you. >> so proud, so proud. >> what are any of our hopes and dreams? a roof over our heads, some security, maybe even some happiness for our children. we all have that in common. >> i wish y'all could come down here and see us, and when y'all do, i hope y'all enjoy it. >> this is america, and if you can't embrace it, no matter how bitterly and fiercely we may disagree, there is no hope for any of us. >> i've been living here 65 years. i wouldn't trade it for nothing. i guess i'll be here 'til they cut the lights out.

>> mount view on three. one, two, three! >> mount view! >> some people must live in great spaces, where the sky goes on forever, where everyone must bend to the land. where to hunt, to fish, to sleep under that big sky aren't activities, but a way of life. >> it was right here in those mountains that the cheyenne and crow battle took place. but i like it. it's very peaceful. >> what was it like a hundred years ago? two hundred years ago? >> oh, not much different. this was never forested. this is the dry side of the river because the primary winds come from the west.

rain tends to blow over here, and that brings the snow to the mountains. >> legendary writer and poet jim harrison is one of those people, and this is his home. ♪ i took a walk through this beautiful world ♪ ♪ felt the cool rain on my shoulder ♪ ♪ found something good in this beautiful world ♪ ♪ i felt the rain getting colder ♪ ♪ sha la la la ♪ ♪ sha la la la la la ♪

>> am i as old as i am? maybe not. time is a mystery that could tip us upside down. yesterday i was 7 in the woods. a bandage covered my blind eye. 68 years later, i could still inhabit that boy's body. i stop thinking of the time in between. it is the burden of life to be in the ages without seeing the end of time. >> next time you turn off a news cycle filled with shouting bobbleheads convinced that america is devolving into a moronic inferno, questioning the

greatness of your nation, maybe you should come here. here are your purple mountains majesty. this is the landscape that generations of dreamers, despots, adventurers, explorers, crackpots, and heroes fought and died for. it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. there is no place like it. montana. many have come to claim their piece over the years, but before the prospectors and explorers, there were the plains indians. the absaroka have been master horsemen since they adopted spanish-introduced mustangs in the 18th century. >> general black jack pershing. he called the native americans the centaurs of the plains. >> better known as the crow, they were once part of the larger hadassah tribe. centuries ago, they split off on their own and wandered or were

pushed by conflict with the blackfeet, cheyenne, and dakota until settling here in the yellowstone river valley. >> that horse became everything to our people. >> kennard real bird grew up ranching and raising horses here at medicine tail coulee, which happens to be the exact spot where general george custer had the worst day of his life. kennard raises horses for rodeo, for riding, and for this -- indian relay racing. >> the athletic ability on them kids are just amazing. the competition is intense. >> they travel all over to compete at this collarbone-smashing, skull-cracking, bone-snappingly dangerous sport. former allies and former blood enemies alike. >> it requires a lot of courage. >> i'll bet. >> and a high threshold for pain. it's representative of the warrior mentality. >> welcome. >> one rider, three horses. >> they're all in line. >> when they're lined up, the

gun goes off. it's like a spontaneous combustion. >> they're off! away they go! on the inside -- >> top speed is around 40 miles an hour. and after each lap, the rider dismounts at full freakin' gallop and leaps, hopefully, onto the next horse. yes, it's as dangerous and difficult as it looks. the prizes at big events run into the thousands of dollars, but really it's about bragging rights. and pride. >> being in motion, in rhythm, in time and in one with that horse. they develop strength of character. and once they conquer that fear, that feeling of accomplishment is so great, when they walk back from that race, they have this sense of pride and self-worth that's sky high. now they've identified with their ancestors.

>> ken's wife, diane, has prepared a lunch of buffalo steaks, potato salad, fry bread, and indian pudding made of juneberry stewed with flour and sugar. >> when i looked at my ancestors, they didn't have diabetes. they didn't have much cancer. they were very strong, durable people. and i said, well, i'm going to start eating nothing but buffalo. >> over the course of your life, how much has this area changed? >> quite a bit. we went and picked up a four-wheeler last sunday. it'll be the first four-wheeler on the place. >> given those changes, what are the crow people going to be dog -- doing in 20 years, 30 years? is the horse going to play an important part of the culture still? >> i think so, yeah, because what's a place going to be like without horses? i wouldn't want to be there.

>> who owns this land? can anyone really own it? who gets to use it? these are big questions that cut across traditional ideological lines out here, where they have real meaning, not theoretical meaning. all this belongs to one man. this guy, bill galt. >> okay. we're about a half mile from the confluence of rock creek and the smith river. >> galt ranch is a hundred thousand acres of grazing land, mountains, cliffs, and valleys. there's also some of the best trout fishing on the planet. >> bill, the water level on the creek looks good. >> this is bill's friend, the author and journalist, david mccumber. they disagree on land use, a major issue. remember when you could do that and still be friends? lee kinsey is a professional outfitter who bill leases some areas of his property to for fishing. >> all this to outwit a fish? >> i know. >> it's amazing.

>> all right. go ahead. snap that tip high, straight up in the air. good. perfect! >> bill's a fifth-generation montanan whose principal business is raising cattle. he's no weekend cowboy. this is work, and he pays a lot of attention to his land. and a big issue for him -- for just about everybody around here -- is the 1985 stream access law. >> anybody that could access a stream via a public means could, in fact, use the stream, even if it was on private ground, as long as they stayed within the ordinary high water mark of the stream. >> widely heralded by sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, the law did not go down well with landowners like bill. >> oh, got him! something took a bite. >> yeah! >> he's still got a fish right in there, too. >> oh, i see him. >> perfect. hoop set, set! whoa! the fish of the day. nice brownie! >> all right! beautiful thing. that's pretty. but i will not eat you today, my

friend. not today. >> for lunch, a modest protein-centric repast of steak. a wagyu-angus hybrid bred and raised right here on bill's ranch. >> there's the marbling on the wagyu steak. that's what makes them good. >> oh, that's nice. >> and it's pretty damn tasty, i can tell you. >> so you hold an opposing view, is that correct, on access? >> the idea behind the stream access law is that if you stay in the water, it's public. i agree with that concept. >> but where do you draw the line for private property risk? if the state were to pass a law that your restroom was public because the public needed it in your house. >> right. >> but just because this isn't my backyard doesn't mean it's any less mine than your toilet is yours. we still pay taxes on every foot of it. >> i'm an old-school lefty, but i got to say, i kind of completely understand the property owner's point of view here. there'd be no ambiguity in my feeling if i'd inherited this land and it had been in my family for generations, and i looked around at it and wanted to keep it like it is. if i were to go to a bar in town and i were to ask how do you

feel about this issue, where would it break? what would most people say? >> depends on if you are a fisherman or a landowner. >> clearly divided right down the middle. >> well, you know, a lot of people are going to say when i was a kid, i used to be able to go hunt and fish, and i can't now if stuff's getting closed off. i have some sympathy for that. >> anybody that's not complying with stream access merely has to step into the stream when he hears you coming. >> right. >> the spirit of it is -- it makes sense. >> the spirit of it is thievery. >> well, i -- >> we own it, they took it. and that's not stealing it? without compensation? >> i think it's still here. >> this is about being a good neighbor, right? >> yeah. >> i mean, so if people ask nicely, more often than not, you're going to say yes? >> we do. it used to be, before stream access, we seldom required somebody to have permission if they just behaved themselves. >> right. >> after stream access is when the outfitters came into the world. not because we wanted to make money, but we wanted somebody there patrolling and policing it. the outfitters take care of it. >> a small stream like this can only take so much pressure. >> it really can. >> and so we try to manage it,

fish it responsibly. and if someone wants to walk all the way from the smith five miles up to here, and do it legally, i say all the more power to him. >> no. >> that's what i'm saying. .. hold up! there's vodka in this? ...uhhh... new truly vodka seltzer yeah, there's vodka in this! here we go... remember, mom's a kayak denier, so please don't bring it up. bring what up, kayak? excuse me? do the research, todd. listen to me, kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to find you great deals on flights, cars and hotels. they're lying to you! who's they? kayak? arr! open your eyes! compare hundreds of travel sites at once. kayak. search one and done.

>> at first look, you'd think this is the worst place on earth. a ravaged, toxic, god-forsaken hill threatened from above, riddled with darkness below. but you'd be wrong. butte, montana. it is, in fact, heartbreakingly, poignantly beautiful. the gallous frames seem eyesores for only a second before it

becomes clear why they're points of fierce pride for locals, for whom they signify and commemorate everything. >> for montanans, many people consider it sort of a black eye. i happen to think it's sort of the essence of montana. >> aaron parrett was born in butte. he's a professor of literature and a chronicler of the city's colorful literary history. >> there is something beautiful about this city, right? >> yeah, the enduring decay. >> like in detroit or buffalo or cleveland, you can see the aspirations of the builders or the people who they were building for. >> as i've gotten older i kind of think about it the way europeans romanticize those ruins in greece and rome. butte is america's acropolis. >> in its heyday, butte produced tens of billions of dollars' worth of copper that built, well, america! that helped power the country,

defend it against germany and japan. without this hill, no copper wire, no electricity. at the turn of the century, marcus daly's amalgamated company consumed its competitors and became anaconda copper. by the twenties, "the company," as it was referred to, was one of the largest corporations in america, generating staggering wealth by today's or any day's standards. people came from all over the world to make their fortunes here, or simply for steady work, a better life. >> cornish, welsh, a lot of eastern europeans. >> croatians, serbs; very ethnically diverse. >> by montana standards? or by any standards? >> i would say by any standards. it's kind of a micro version of new york city. >> meaderville was an italian neighborhood and developed a tradition of supper clubs. lydia's was opened in 1946 by lydia micheletti in the fourmile, the valley below butte. >> so what is a supper club? i've heard about this tradition, but i don't really understand what distinguishes a supper club from a restaurant. >> at least in montana, the supper clubs are a variation on

meaderville-style. it involves this antipasto beginning. >> sliced beets, sweet potato salad, salami and cheese, side salad, pickled peppers, and breadsticks. >> and then when you actually get your entree, you get, oddly enough, ravioli or spaghetti, or here both, but also french fries. >> odd. >> that may be unique to montana. >> for entrees, seared scallops in white wine sauce for aaron. me, noticing we're pretty much landlocked around here, i go for the extra thick tenderloin of beef, thank you very much. >> this is wacky. it makes no sense. >> it is somewhat bizarre to have scallops and french fries. >> yeah. is meaderville no longer around? >> no, it's not. is was swallowed up by the pit in the early '60s. >> for the first seventy years it was hard-rock mining; blasting and digging tunnels deep into the ground. by the 1950s, mining was moving increasingly to above-ground; open-pit, which meant fewer jobs and a bigger, more visible footprint.

by 1955, the berkeley pit had become the largest open-pit copper mine in the world. as it expanded, it devoured meaderville and the surrounding neighborhoods. there was money down there to be dug out of the ground, and that's what butte had always been about from the beginning. in 1983, the pumps that held back the groundwater from thousands of miles of tunnels beneath the city were turned off. the pit filled with 30 billion gallons of water. and as mine tailings and mineral refuse contaminated the water, it became a giant, insanely toxic lake of sulfuric acid. a monument to greed and heedless exploitation of the earth and something eerily, yet, tragically beautiful. >> if you're still living here, you've got to have some kind of weird perverse pride in the pit. >> absolutely! >> i mean, correct me if i'm wrong. >> no, you nailed it. obviously, the pit is an enduring emblem of that rapacious capitalist greed. but you also have people here who are proud of where they live.

the history of butte, in many ways, is, you know, this town that should have died but never did. part of that is luck, geographically, but also the character of the people here. you know, they endured. >> as you might have gathered by now, this is a working-class town. and unusual in that it's a union town, a proudly union town in an othe otherwise very red state. >> butte is the most interesting, important town in america that nobody knows about. >> bryant mcgregor is the owner of the silver dollar saloon in what was once butte's chinatown. >> so we call ourselves butte america. >> amanda curtis, a former state congresswoman, was born of the labor movement. she's a unionist, an advocate for workers, and this solidly union city she calls home. >> when you got off the boat in ellis island, it says "butte"

pinned to your shirt. and it wasn't butte, montana, right? it was butte, america. we were founded by european immigrants who came from socialist countries with all these crazy socialist ideas. >> would you say montana, in a stereotypical way, is relatively socially conservative? >> oh, absolutely, but butte is a labor town. >> nobody knows anything about union history. you know, they don't teach it. when the country was at its peak, unions were at their peak. when wages were at their peak, unions were at their peak. >> that was then, this is now. this is the era of "i've got mine, jack." >> that's what makes butte different. it's not "i've got mine." >> it isn't? why? >> it's truly not. the union is together. we've grown this community out of taking care of each other. >> you have to remember what it was like here for workers before unions, if you can imagine. men worked underground for as little as $3 a day, 10 to 12-hour shifts, six days a week. thousands died over the years in industrial accidents or from silicosis; lungs ravaged from the airborne silicate dust.

>> you don't have any rights in your workplace unless you bond together and have a collective voice. >> in a one-company town, despite hiring assassins and strike-breakers, butte's thousands of workers successfully managed to unionize. labor costs increased while copper prices slumped. anaconda responded by moving their production increasingly south. way south. to chile. where such impediments as labor laws and fair wages were more malleable. >> we serve as the example about what happens if you allow unfettered capitalism. >> but isn't there something beautiful about unfettered capitalism? because, look, this structure >> here -- >> oh, yeah! we powered -- we powered the entire world. >> as long as they're making that money in the [bleep] united states of america first. >> right. >> i feel that i'm a patriot. but if you're taking jobs away from america to export them overseas -- >> you're not. >> -- you're not. >> we've been talking about this

for decades in this country, right? keep our jobs here. >> yeah. ♪ inner voice (kombucha brewer): if i just stare at these payroll forms... my business' payroll taxes will calculate themselves. right? uhh...nope. intuit quickbooks helps you manage your payroll taxes, cheers! with 100% accurate tax calculations guaranteed. i think that's carvana. let's go. let's go. adjusting the amount. adjusting the amount. yes, please. a lot can happen in a moment. whoa. i just bought a car from carvana. like finding your perfect mix of down and monthly payments. finance your next car with carvana today.

>> time sinks slowly to the deepest part of the ocean, the mariana trench. she's tired of light, and there it's pure black. >> they say that butte is a mile high and a mile deep, and to get

an idea of what they mean, you've got to go down. down deep into the hill. an intricate warren of tunnels, whittled through the rock and soil that lay beneath the city was flooded forever by water and darkness. the orphan boy mine is one of the few remaining hard rock mines in the city. today, it serves as a training facility for the montana tech school of mines and engineering. >> there's five generations of mining here. in order to survive and provide the resources for america, these people were super skillful. >> jim keane is a state senator and labor advocate who grew up working the mines of butte. >> how many miles of tunnel under butte total? >> 10,000 miles of tunnels. >> ten thousand miles! >> and i figured -- >> like this? >> like this. only smaller, usually. >> larry hoffman is a longtime mining engineer and instructor.

matt krattinger is the new guy. a hard rock miner by day, he likes to relax by spending his time down here, playing. >> i come mining for fun on my days off. >> okay! >> it's one of those things that just gets in your blood. you got a lot of pride in it. >> these like it underground. and even more, they seem to like drilling holes deep into the rock face. >> you want to drill? >> sure. >> pull that out. now you get the feel for where the weight sets on it. >> oh, yeah! cool. >> do that several hundred times a day. >> no. >> it gets good. >> sweet!

>> the community recognized the miner was at the top of the food chain. when i grew up, he was considered just like a doctor or lawyer because everybody knew he was the one making everything work. the other thing about mining is that it is so intensive. i mean, you need engineers. you need guys running ventilation, a mechanic or a carpenter, or a pipefitter. it's just such a diverse asset to have all these different types of people. that's what was so good about it. >> mining was always dangerous. but these men are proud of what they do and of the generations who came before them, who built neighborhoods and schools and helped power the nation. >> they loved their work. they raised their families. they worked all the time. >> it was a destination with hopes and dreams of hard work leading to a better life. >> you know, the company's a son of a [ bleep ]. let's face it. but they were our son of a [ bleep ]. so, you know, that's just the way it was. the community worked to support

the people. >> here's the fun part. >> cool. >> how many holes do you usually drill to make a round? >> oh, between 20 and 30. >> what is a round? >> this pattern has to be drilled out. and every time you advance the face, that is a round. you drill it, you load it, you blast it, you muck it, you bolt it, you drill it again. and that's a cycle. we're in the loading process right here. they call it a prime. they're top priming this hole. quick, fill away! >> back in the day it was dynamite. but in the '60s, they started switching over to this stuff - anfo. ammonium nitrate and fuel oil. >> okay. so i've got everything charged up and loaded. now we get to time it. >> this is kind of where i got hooked on mining. as soon as i set that first round off, it was how do we do another one? >> fascinating! >> this is where it all starts. >> all right. >> right here.

>> everybody got everything out? four seconds to silence. >> all right. everybody's good? everybody's ready? >> yep. all right. >> fire in the hole! >> one, two, three -- welcome to mining. >> that's deeply satisfying. >> whoo-hoo hoo! oh, yeah. very cool. >> can we see the smoke? >> so does that vent it out? >> yeah. the smoke will start moving towards us. you have to get in the smoke. >> oh, yeah. smells like victory. >> this is the smell of mining. >> we'll see if it all worked as planned. >> that shock wave is awesome! >> isn't it? >> yeah. >> this is like being an astronaut right now. when we go in there, you are going to be the first person in the world to see what you're

seeing. all right! >> did you break it? >> yeah! >> nice, huh? happy with your work? >> i'm very happy with it. everything came out just the way it should. >> that's another six-foot advance. >> and that is a round. >> it's a beautiful thing. >> yes, it is. >> i fell in love with the dark and the blowing things up and the people and -- >> the people is a big thing. you meet some of the most interesting people. this valentine's day, give the gift of shine. at zales, the diamond store.

>> about one-third of montana is public land. it was set aside for the people of the united states of america. generally speaking, it is intended for multi-purpose use. timber harvest, grazing land, hiking, fishing, hunting, and mining. these open lands are important to hunters and anglers like dan bailey. he's the montana representative for pheasants forever, an organization working to conserve pheasants and other wildlife through careful management. >> so this is a piece of property that's owned by pheasants forever. it's open to public access. this is through montana's block management system. we sign in and they collect all

the tags. they know who's on the property. >> today, rogan are going after some delicious pheasant for dinner. >> yeehaw, ladies and gentlemen. >> joe is, of course, the voice of the ufc, and the host of the wildly popular podcast the joe rogan experience. in recent years, joe has become an advocate for the notion that you should, whenever possible, know where your food comes from. >> the connection that you have with your food when you kill it yourself, you know, it's just a totally different experience. >> i believe that if you choose to eat meat, that you -- there should be a little bit of guilt and shame involved. something did die. so there should be a sense of loss and understanding. >> right here, this is it. i mean, you know where your food comes from. that's as small a circle as you can get. hey, tony, the three things we can hunt here are hungarian partridge, which is a small bird in the big kind of view, sharp-tailed grouse, and then rooster pheasants. so no hen pheasants.

i'll call out what it is. >> yeah, i'm going to wait for you because i sure as hell wouldn't be able to identify. >> so we'll get one person on one side of the draw and one person on the other, and i'll run the dogs through the middle. >> which way are they going to break do you think? it could be any way? >> any which way. we're hoping over us. >> hen, hen, hen, hen, hen, hen, hen! >> what happens if you accidentally shoot a hen? do you get in trouble? >> you report yourself. >> you've heard about the walk of shame? so, really, you have a split second to determine whether it's a shootable thing. okay, well, we're counting on you. >> that's a rooster! >> i had a shot at that too. that was an easy shot. [ bleep ]. >> some days. >> yeah, one of those days, huh? >> public lands in montana -- we're fortunate. we have a lot of them. but, you know, they get a lot of

pressure. and so when you get one of these birds, it's pretty special. >> public land hunting is always a lot of work. >> in general, anybody and everybody can come out here and chase your birds. hey, there's a bunch of birds right there. >> yeah. >> see them go on through the trees right there? >> i saw. >> a bunch of pheasants just got up. let's get serious about this. >> all right. >> we'll take these dogs to the river. rooster! >> oh, nice shot! we got to get up on that bank. >> who got it? >> anthony got it! >> nice! i missed that one over here. >> good boy! come. bring it here. come on. good boy! come on, jugger. nice shot. >> thank you. >> bring it here. come on. drop. here you go! montana rooster. good eating. >> beautiful bird. >> all right, man. >> with one in the bag, we meet

up with the rest of our party to cook and drink and eat. land tawney is a fifth-generation montanan and active conservationist. hal herring is a journalist for "field and stream." the pheasant is cooked two ways; marinated in soy and fish sauce, sriracha, and lime, browned in butter, and buffaloed like chicken wings. or dredged in flour and cajun spice, sauteed with garlic and brandy, then braised a bit with stock and wild mushrooms. collard greens and bacon is a side serve as a nice cleanse. >> man, these greens are good! and the bird's delicious. oh, yeah! man, an amazing day! >> eating it today. >> man, it was a beautiful day. >> why should people in new york or san francisco who've never hunted -- in what way does your access to hunting ground impact on this nation in a positive way? why should they care? >> well, it's not hunting ground. it's public ground. it's owned by the people of the united states of america. >> and i just see our country --

it's very nuanced, and private property is bedrock, but public lands have worked. >> but you're talking big government stepping in and saying we're taking all this land and we are going to protect it from exploitation by capitalists. >> public land management is not perfect for anybody, but it's a path forward. it's not happening anywhere else in the world, and the reason it came here is because we are such a great country. but as we move into the future, it's going to take everybody understanding how unique it is to america. >> to say that hunting and conservation are intertwined -- >> is an absolute fact. >> it is an absolute fact, but it is a really painful admission that we are the masters of this environment whether we like it or not. >> as thinking beings, we're the only ones in the food chain that understand the consequences of the imbalance. and, therefore, we do have a right to take care of this thing and manage it. when it comes to animals that can alter their environment, we're unique. >> you know, i'm not a hunter, obviously. >> we hunted all day today.

if you take a [ bleep ], you're a [ bleep ]. >> my daddy -- i don't -- my daddy didn't take me for the long walk. >> it is what it is. >> you shot that pheasant; we're eating that pheasant. there's no closer connection to food almost than that. >> i think there's a fundamental misunderstanding about people that don't hunt or people that call themselves animal activists, that we don't love the animals as much as they do. and that's just not true. >> we do what we do because we love mother nature, we love wildlife, we want people to enjoy it. you know, the three of us, we've decided to spend what we do for a living to protect wildlife and to protect access and to protect hunting heritage. >> they're fellow living beings that live a very hard scrabble life. they're howling right now because they killed something. whatever it is, they're letting all the other coyotes know and they are going to eat it right now, and that is what they do. >> you know if you've ever been out on an open body of water
