    New ESA Rule

    Should drinking and driving be legal? The intent isn’t to kill someone, after all.

    This country's hard on people. You can't stop what's coming.

    Man, there’s some great stories on here this year. This one has me hitting refresh way too often.

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    My dad and cousin drew late AZ elk tags. The idea was brought up today, by them, to turn in the tags and stick closer to home. I’m not sure if that’ll happen, but fuel prices are the factor that started the conversation.

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    All we pay for now for our two is before-school care to the tune of about $350/mth. Man, it’s sad to see them growing up so fast, but seeing childcare drop to almost nothing is such a relief. The last decade has been stressful.

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    I was going to make some trips north to get my dog on grouse and woodcock in October. At nearly $150.00 to fill up my truck, I’ll stick around home and hunt pheasants out my back door and do some fishing on a nearby lake. There are also some trapping spots that I’m going to be skipping this...

    Artificial Intelligence and Public Comment

    It sounds like this is all a conspiracy theory and that the only guardrail we need is a High-IQ President to keep us safe. I know I’ll sleep better tonight now.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    Correct. I still almost tipped over.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    I don’t remember the price and I don’t feel like doing math, but I filled up 3 cans of gas for around the house and it was $95.00.

    What should i get? What shells are good to?

    Don’t let a forum choose for you. Go shoulder a few in your price range and see what feels good. You should have a few options.

    My long term care plan is to step up my under-ice beaver trapping in my 80s. Only a matter of time until I step in a run and go down.

    Withdrawal calculator

    We live based on 4 paychecks per month between us. Money gets put to mortgage, groceries, and childcare first and then allocated to categories based on importance. She has horses so she gets what it takes to keep them alive. I get slightly less to a dedicated hunting/fishing account. Then we...

    That’s the beauty of it. After a few months you’ll know very close what they will be. And, you aren’t limited to what your budget is in those categories. Maybe your vehicle fuel bill is high one month because you drove out west to hunt. You can move money from another category to cover it. The...

    Withdrawal calculator

    It took me 2-3 months to get into the swing of things with it. Now it’s just second nature. A couple minutes a day and it’s all there. The toughest is Amazon and Target purchases, as they get charged weird on your card. Unfortunately, my wife likes Amazon and Target.

    Withdrawal calculator

    YNAB. I started it a year ago and it’s life-changing. I know, down to the penny, how much I spend each month and what I spent it on. My goal is to retire in 15 years at 57. By then there’ll be no question what we need to live each month. Not only is it allowing me to save more, I know it’ll...

    Hunt lead free SD

    I think the symptoms of lead poisoning are fairly obvious to those who deal with sick raptors on a daily basis. I really don’t think she had any reason to lie to me.

    Hunt lead free SD

    A few years ago I had someone from the local raptor center out when a sick owl showed up on our lawn. It was late fall and, while I don’t think it had anything to do with the owl, she said they can’t keep up the few weeks during and shortly after deer season due to all the sick birds from the...

    Hunt lead free SD

    For me, personally, it’s less wasted bloodshot meat, no worries about my kids ingesting lead, and not poisoning raptors and other scavengers. I understand these may not be important to some, but they are to me.

    Hunt lead free SD

    Because there’s something better available now that wasn’t many decades ago, IMO.

    Ptarmigans in Colorado

    Yes. If I recall, I found them at about 12,000’.

    Ptarmigans in Colorado

    I found some hiking to an alpine lake to fish last summer. It was 4 miles from where I parked the truck and 2k feet elevation gain. They were pretty loud. Once I got close, there was no question they were there, even though I’d never heard a ptarmigan before.
