    Retirees whatcha living on?..........

    Perhaps it has already been mentioned but don't forget to increase your cash requirements each year by 3% for inflation. In other words, if your cash requirements are $100K/year in the first year it'll be $130,477 in year 10, unless you reduce your wants and needs.

    Stacking Stones

    Very cool, but I'd not feel comfortable sitting in the shade from what's left. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to you piecing things together and sharing.

    Sage Grouse Question

    I shot one with archery in Wyoming. Probably a young bird. I didn't take particularly good care of it. Ultimately, I breasted it out and pulled the legs and cooked it rare in a cast iron skillet with salt pepper and butter. It tasted amazing and I can't wait for the next one. It's safe to...

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    All those boats and Captains are fishy. What makes or breaks the trip is luck, weather and currents. I could be mistaken but half of the time on those 15-16 day trips are travel days where little to no fishing is being done. Take advantage of that time to learn from the crew. As far as...

    Should I change fletchings

    Your fletching (noun) is fine. Your fletching (verb) isn't. Fletch your own with Loctite Super glue gel control and put a dab of glue on the leading and trailing edge (tips and tails) of each fletch. Unless you have some unusual abrasion issues you should be good to go...

    Dogs Male or Female

    Everything said by each respondent is true including all of those which seem to contradict one another. I'm on lab #5 (2 females and 3 males) and looking for a 6th (female). Each one unique. All I am sure of is that I would give anything to have them all back again.😢

    First bird hunt and I can't wait to go again

    Nice work Rose. Upland bird hunting is like the best-ever treasure hunt.

    Spinning wing decoy Regulations Federal or State

    I can't find any regulations regarding the use of motorized spinning wing decoys in Nevada within Nevada's regulations. Are the rules regarding the use of motorized spinning wing decoys set by the State or Fed.?

    Wyoming Hunt

    I had the permit last year for 27/25 archery season. Stayed in Atlantic City (unit 25) but hunted 27 (much rougher country). Beautiful country, great people. Would love to go back. Good luck.

    PUPPIES FOR SALE

    Good looking pups. I'd love a little black girl but MN is a little further than I care to go.

    Questions regarding WY towns

    I feel like I opened up a whole can of worms with my advice on researching the medical care. So, I'll ad, for what it is worth that during my fall elk hunt I had a small eye injury which required a visit to the emergency room. I was one of only two people in the emergency room and was seen...

    Questions regarding WY towns

    Something needs to disperse the hantavirus. On a serious note, though, and I do love to visit Wyoming, the wind has to be considered. I recently spent 11 days in the Wyoming forests hunting elk and the amount of blowdown will significantly limit anyone's access to the back country, especially...

    Questions regarding WY towns

    Wherever you move to at your age you should seriously consider your access/proximity to good healthcare. I really don't know if it's good or poor in any of those locations, but it's more important than your proximity to a hunt. Other than that, wind? Good luck with the dream. I am...
