    Afraid of the dark??

    Like anything, I'm sure experience can ease those feeling. I'm sure many would also agree that the feeling of being "afraid" is significantly lessened when you're with someone vs solo.

    ‘25-‘26 Upland Bird Thread

    Pheasant hunting has been slow for me this season. Almost all of my usual spots have been significantly less productive than years past. Couple that with a busier schedule and it makes for less opportunities to explore new areas.

    Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation

    As someone who hunts by that statement, it is a combination of meat in the freezer and opportunity to hunt. If I can only hunt for 2 and a half days, and my priority is to harvest an animal to eat...the "size" threshold is incredibly low. Edit to add: this is only amplified on any western...

    Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down

    I have slightly different thought process for you to consider. When I was of age, my dad took me to Cabelas to buy me my first shotgun. I held several but he handed me an 870 Wingmaster. He talked about how great they were, how he always wanted one, etc. It was my choice which gun I was going to...

    For the guys running the Single Shot .410s

    I don't think I've shot it enough to notice one way or the other. few shots to sight in the red dot and a few to pattern. Been a few years since I've been turkey hunting too.

    For the guys running the Single Shot .410s

    I have a Stevens 301 with a cheap red dot. With TSS, it is a sweet little package.

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    I would be interested in looking at the financial situation of teachers at different points in their career, say me (32 years old) vs a recent retiree. Looking at the cost of tuition vs salary comparison. There is no chance in hell I'll ever be able to own a lake place, but I don't know any...

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    Again, no disagreement on that. I am also generalizing, but there is a trend of apathy that I did not see 5-6 years ago. One of the biggest issues I'm seeing is students will pay attention juuust long enough to determine whether or not they need to continue paying attention. They will then ask...

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    I can definitely agree with that last sentence. My general concern has more to do with the lack of effort. I'm awful at math, but that just meant I had to work a little harder.

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    I've seen this several times. As a teacher who works a second job in the summer...I would be very curious to see the questions they asked and how that data was complied...if for nothing else than to get myself on that list!

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    Still happens in Prek and Kindergarten. With staff dedicated to interventions and after-school programs, it is much less common through elementary and middle school.

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    As a teacher who frequently asks students what they plan on doing after high school, I get a mixed bag on traditional 4-year vs trade vs other. I will say, I can't tell you how many students the mindset have they're going to get into HVAC or welding, etc and their grades are AWFUL, primarily due...

    Recommendations for ND/MN/MT Gundog Trainer

    Marzolf X-Kennel out of Wentworth, SD. Amazing to work with. I'm not sure if they do flushers or not, but I'd reach out and ask.
