Which of the big 3 in Colorado to keep going after?
I would agree. That's why I said "like 5% with 15+ points". That's also where we are at now and with point creep it will likely be even worse. Idaho is probably his best chance of drawing but it is also expensive and I think he needs to wait to apply for that when he feels it is worth it to...- npaden

Which of the big 3 in Colorado to keep going after?
We went ahead and applied him for everything in Utah this year. Maybe with the price increases it will have a few drop out and his 6 points will be worth something down the road. About to make the call in Nevada. It is a big jump from $15 to $155 for the nonrefundable license and no tricks to...- npaden

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
Well, I thought there was going to be a bounce back a few weeks ago that didn't happen, but looks like things have more than bounced back now. I'm back in the black for the year on my 401k and looks like that will improve more after today. Not sure I understand the fundamentals and if you walk...- npaden

Who owns that 94,000 acre section that is surrounded by woven wire fence? Pretty amazing to see the GPS just completely skip those sections with woven wire fence. -
10 ply tires
The Bridgestone KO2 or KO3 have the thicker sidewalls on the higher load rated tires. Not sure what load rating you are running.- npaden

Asset management and or Private equity invesments
Seeing this pop back up reminded me of the continuous harassment I get from PE firms trying to leverage themselves into the public accounting industry. (i.e. buy an ownership stake in our accounting firm). It doesn't make sense for well managed firms, so the ones selling are generally the ones...- npaden

10 ply tires
I've been using BF Goodrich KO2 AT tires for about 15 or 20 years now and I put 20,000 to 25,000 a year on my trucks so that's a lot of tires and they have always done well for me. I got a new set of KO2s right when the KO3s were coming out so haven't tried them yet but every review I've seen...- npaden

Trichinosis?
We use the sous vide for wild pigs. 145 for an extended period of time seems to be considered safe and doesn’t result in shoe leather. I’ve eaten a LOT of wild pigs including some big old boars and so far so good.- npaden

Daytime Thermal Binocular or Monocular Use
I got one of the Leupold LTO Trackers thinking I could use it to help tracking if I had a wounded animal to find. It was pretty much worthless for that. I had thought I would be able to see blood or something but all I could see was rocks warmed by the sun. I sold it. -

Thermal recovery drones?
Check closely to see if they are legal for use even for recovery. Texas is very liberal on many methods of take and other things like that but they currently do not allow the use of drones of any kind to recover game. Colorado doesn't either. Don't think Montana or Wyoming allows them but...- npaden

Which of the big 3 in Colorado to keep going after?
We discussed it and ended up dropping the mountain goat from the list for points this year. I'm still going to be paying for the points while he is in college and after that we will see. Still applying for mountain goat, just not paying the extra $100 for the point each year. Next on the...- npaden

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
I didn't have this big of a bounce predicted, but I didn't expect him to back off so quickly. The elephant in the room is still China on tariffs. 125% tariffs on something close to a 1/2 Trillion dollars is a lot of money. Crazy that the market can swing so dramatically.- npaden

Verify that you hunt
Would be an interesting poll to run. Users with the highest ratio of political posts to hunting posts. I'm not sure if some of the heavy political posters have ever started a hunting thread. Start with a thread for nominations, and then after you get a good number of nominations start another...- npaden

Buying Land
I sure wish I had figured out a way to make a land purchase work for me at that age. I remember looking at properties back in the 1990s for just $200 to $300 an acre that are about 10 times that price now. I've bought a lot of land and haven't ever looked back and said that I wish I hadn't...- npaden
