We welcome you to our big, beautiful state that prides itself on having acres upon acres of public land to enjoy. We also welcome you to build relationships with the folks that reside here; we are pretty friendly people. A phone call or door knock would have been the right thing to do.

The incident has sparked debate among locals and fans alike, with some calling it a harmless misunderstanding, while others say it’s a reminder that fame doesn’t excuse disrespect for Montana’s fiercely defended private property rights.

We get it, Montana is beautiful and serves as the perfect backdrop for any picture, but private property needs to be respected.

Shaboozey seems like a good guy, and I'm sure he didn't intentionally trespass. It happens to a lot of people that visit Montana, Thankfully, the landowner was understanding and offered him an olive branch.
