Just east of Bozeman%2C a traditional farmstead is enveloped by creeping residential and commercial dveleopment. Any boundary between %22urban%22 and %22rural%22 is haphazardly arranged with no organization. Worse%2C yes pockets of %22open space%22 exist but over time they hold less and less value for wildlife%2C save for %22weedy%22 white-tailed deer that can thrive almost anywhere while elk%2C mule deer and moose cannot.
