    Another Legend Gone !

    Growing up in a small town int he 1960s, You Never Even Called Me By My Name rang of truth rather than parody. I must have been about 14 when first heard this song. Became a favorite song to erupt at drinking parties beyond where the blacktop ended just over the flood levee along the river's...

    New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

    E-Plus strips out tags for landowners from the approved total tags for a species before the remaining tags are then split into resident, non-resident and guided buckets, yes? That implies the potential 10% allotment for non-residents is actually less than 10% of total approved tags. Any idea...

    Cumulative burden of taxes

    Daycare might erase much of the second wage earner but taxes will never on its own. Buddy of mine had his wife stay at home with first kid then the second kid arrived before spouse returned to work. Okay, once the second kid hits school age will go back to work. Buddy drops and flops at family...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I have a theory on why the market since 2010 has not seen a 10% pullback which stagnated for a year or more before reaching a new high. My grandfather bought stocks starting just after WW2. He bought stocks for the next 55 years before he died. I think he had to buy in 100 share blocks until...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Cutting the Fed rate during this inflationary cycle is a novel approach that goes against what adults do when in charge. The U.S. dollars has lost 9% of value since Trump took the oath of office in January 2025. Inflation combined with our rising deficit will erode the USD value more against a...

    Seriously - Thank You rich boys for this new Idaho law.

    Arizona allows a former resident already holding a Lifetime AZ hunting license to apply in the AZ Resident tag pool in the draw. You pay non-resident fees and tag costs. You are not claiming to still be a resident of AZ. So, not a Lacey violation. In fact, I moved to Arizona from another state...

    Montana to New Mexico

    NM allows multiple choices per species when you apply. If your application is drawn for consideration then your 1st choice is considered then your 2nd, etc, until you are awarded a tag or all your choices had zero tags to award to you. This allows you to put your first choice as a very...

    Average age of the hunt talk crowd.

    I grew up in a mostly lower middle class to poor portion of rural Midwest in the 1960s/70s. Lots of old vehicles driven by those families when I was a kid. Most kids wore hand-me-downs. Over half were on subsidized school lunches. A handful of town folk had a very nice sedan in the garage but...

    Extreme Downsizing of Dept. of Interior. Hits just keep on coming.

    I guess are no more air traffic controllers to axe. They axed the newly hired during Doge and newly transferred as that restarts your probation window. Oh, and controllers were understaffed as it was. Winning!! Hand me a sledgehammer and stand back as I tear stuff up and leave you the mess to...

    The loss of my father

    Sorry for your loss. I relive the "greatest hits" soon after when a friend or relative passes away. Snippets from decades of interactions. I am the only one alive of a group of four of us that were thick of thieves during our school years before the winds of time scattered us after graduation...

    Iowa legislative session 2026

    No Senator goes broke after gets into office...that tells you what you need to know about each party. My daddy had a name for a person which sold themself for money. No matter the party, the selling is rampant. Oh, but, but, my party is the real party. No it is not. Both parties start wars...

    Is this global warming

    The Earth has warmed and cooled over the eons. Never have so many people been alive at one time, though, and this is the first 100-year span where we have introduced things such as nuclear blasts/fallout/waste leaks and micro-plastics which are going to impact our surroundings and the health of...

    Custom 6mm Remington

    Wow. You could display that in a room which had outstanding oil paintings and yet the wood would still catch your eyes. I switched to non-wood stocks when built ordered three custom guns over the past 25 years. Wood that sells in rain or cracks when fall out of a scabbard were my reasons. No...

    Still Hunting Mule Deer in the Mountain West?

    I used to still hunt for whitetails in the Midwest moving though mostly flat creek bottoms at a glacial pace. Thing is, the wind tended to be straight-line on those stalks. All I had to worry about was brittle twigs and scanning though brush. Once I was out West and began hunting the mountains...
