    The big 18 and adult things?

    These are the good old days for hunting. Full stop. Public access will shrink. Tag prices out West for non-residents will rise faster than inflation. Draw odds for non-residents will get tougher out West. Outfitted hunt costs will go up. Private land access cost will go up. If you can live in...

    How old is too old to apply for physical hunts?

    I had a mountain goat hunt in 2020. Was hitting 60 and the gyms near me stayed closed for Covid. My company also got our biggest contract ever in February so everyone pitched in for the next 18 months to keep product filling up a semi-trailer by Friday each week. Was a trainwreck physically by...

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    I put Apple AirTags in every bag/case I hand to an airline. Is worth every penny spent on those tags to be sitting on the tarmac for take-off and get pings from each showing they are 30 feet away rather than 200 yards away.

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    I hunted solo north of Yellowstone. I felt good about my chances each day with my rifle and a can of bear spray at the ready on my chest. In my lightweight tent at night I would have preferred a handgun. A rifle is a bit unwieldy in close quarters and bear spray inside a tent would be...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    My savings rate was significantly boosted from time to time by a grandfather who would gift shares of stocks to the grandchildren. I was saving a larger percentage of my earnings, raises and bonuses in those years of the stock gifts. Not sure I ever topped 10% of gross earnings in a year...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Also, the chart deals with but one asset class that contributes to wealth. What about publicly traded stock holdings held by non-profits such as college endowment funds or pension funds? What about trust funds that are not owned by the beneficiaries but currently distributing proceeds? What...

    Things we take for granted

    Mr brother-in-law has passed away. He had very few moments where built up some savings. Smart guy. Just some demons that impacted his pathway through life. He would start to complain about some slight or injustice that occurred 30 or 40 or even 50 years prior. I would listen as he seemed to need...

    2026 college football 🏈 thread , cuz @jimh406 said so …………

    I like watching college football better than any other college sport but only if two Top 25 teams. The season goes too late as well. Needs to hold the National championship within a week of New Year’s Day. The crappy “pre-season” games should be just that and not count. Seems a lot of Oregon...

    Group 1 passengers

    I forgot how much it sucked to be in the back of a MD tin can narrow body when got a flight on American Airlines as was only non-stop and was a seat problem at the gate so I was in the back row of the plane. Took 35 minutes to exit from when door popped open. Southwest Airlines was never more...

    Group 1 passengers

    Preach brother! Window seats first, front to back then go front to back for the rest (middles and aisles). On wide bodies wth two aisles then do center seats in seats between the two aisles as board windows. Jackwads screw up rear seating first as they are prone to toss carryon luggage in...

    Art of The Deal

    This is his Legacy. A war where abandoned the fight leaving the other, smaller nation with Billions gifted by the attacker who claimed weeks ago Unconditional Surrender was the only option. Wait, how much did we pay Germany in 1945? Wait a minute, Iran kept all their nuke material, all their...

    What a clown

    Do not need to understand. It is real with real ability to build brands, sway opinions and make lots of money for a few in the same way a small percent of actors/musicians/athletes earn millions of dollars a year. You can personally ignore social media and dislike its impact but you can’t wish...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    If I wanted to go buy big in Space X or OpenAI or Anthropic but the big ol’ buckets of stocks (VTI, VOO, VT, … ) are not having to blindly pay “market” to scoop up shares from a small float on Day 1 of “shiny new” IPO then I am having to sell existing holdings that are no shinier and special...

    Hello from England

    Welcome from Arizona and Colorado. I am retired and split time between two states. I would suggest you look into hunting pronghorn in Wyoming. Pronghorn are quite striking if were successful on a hunt and decided to shoulder mount the buck. As with many of the states that have several varieties...

    Wyoming Draw Results 2026

    Indeed, Joe Sixpack had better live in a state with everything he intends to ever hunt or will have a rough time playing the $1000 and up non-resident bull elk tag game plus play the points game and all the fees to enter those draws. Non-resident big game hunting is not really for the person...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    The beauty of a President handing out pardons and other "get out of jail" cards is this only covers Federal matters. If a state, say New York, brings state charges against someone, even someone proudly holding up a purty piece of paper with DJT scribbled EKG-style on it, then that court case can...

    How old is too old to apply for physical hunts?

    Turned 60 as Covid shut down gyms in my state. Have an inherited chronic disease that usually ends badly in your 50s but have had over 500 blood draws so mostly deal with constant anemia which is not good for thin air hunts. A mountain goat hunt during Covid wiped me out including my minimal...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    $5 gas is hitting a lot of blue collar types, workers and employers, that are driving those big ol’ vehicles around to spin wrenches and fix things. Farmers use a lot of diesel and fertilizer. I rarely see huge flags flapping from the back of lifted trucks honking their horns and rolling coal...

    Best friend is close to losing his Father

    Sounds like Dan’s pops lived a big life where traveled afar, had experiences near and far, plus spent time with his children and their friends. That should be celebrated. Hurts to see the end game play out. Prayers for peace and comfort for everyone. I watched my father ebb into being...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    When Dear Leader looked us in the eye he promised $2 gas. He delivered 3x the promise in less than half his term!!! $6 for the win. Whiners gonna whine. No new wars and delivered on that promise, obviously. Now there are now only peace-keeping missions such as the minor Iran saber rattling...
