    Cumulative burden of taxes

    Finished filing and then I made a mistake today and added up all the taxes (Federal/State/Local) we paid in 2025. It was eye opening and eye watering. It virtually eliminated the point of my wife working, and cost us twice as much in a year as it is costing to pay a year of our daughters private...

    Average age of the hunt talk crowd.

    50 isn't so bad except it robs you of being able to say about yourself that you are "young" without sounding foolish to actual young people. Only much older people will call you young now, which I think is just their wry sense of humor on display. On the plus side, I got my shingles shot...

    Have to be to afford any of this!

    Future hunting trips

    I plan some good ones but won't be too specific. Mostly I have no idea when any particular hunt will happen but I'm pretty sure all of these could happen if I have good enough health over the next 20 years. Heading to AZ on a rut archery hunt this fall. Probably CO 61, 76, or NW corner elk...

    New To Slug Guns Need Some Input

    No kidding. My first deer was at 100 yards out of a spanish 20 ga double with a foster slug and a bead sight. False advertising. Multiple hastings barrels and remington barrels later, rifled choke tubes, receiver mounts, cantilever mounts, 12 ga 870, 20 ga 870... finally a decent Savage...

    New To Slug Guns Need Some Input

    Find a new spot. The path of 12ga slug gun hunter is littered with broken dreams, missed shots, and wasted time and money. I hunted with slug guns for over 30 years out of legal necessity. I have since sold all my rifled barrels, my Savage 220 even, and all my slugs. No more! Archery...

    Still Hunting Mule Deer in the Mountain West?

    I killed my last muley buck in ID in the timber while still hunting and I see many muleys while stillhunting for elk during archery season. If you are trying to kill a trophy buck, glassing one up first is probably a better plan. But for just any buck, covering some distance slowly during the...

    Where To Start

    I was a little more encouraging in my first post of advice to you. But as things seem to be leading you down a realization that the time, effort, expense, driving, etc is not necessarily that appealing to you given your goals and alternatives, I am also in agreement with others encouraging you...

    Is an ATV worth it??

    PITA to haul across country but sure can be handy when you arrive. I am currently contemplating if one is needed for my AZ hunt though, that's a long haul with the trailer and I want to be pretty flexible and mobile when I get there. So leaning towards no ATV, no trailer. But I can be convinced...

    Where To Start

    Don't be intimidated. 1) It would be easier to plan to hunt elk this year. 2)Apply online in Colorado. Deadline is early April. Create a user account. Research a couple units and apply for one you like the look of that took 0 points or had leftovers last year. Use 2nd choice, 3rd choice in the...

    A Kinda Fun Deer Tag Dilemma

    Sounds like you are absorbing and processing the info very astutely for an adult onset hunter. Congrats on the antelope hunt, good luck on those draws. Enjoy all the the multi-state application addiction and fun.

    A Kinda Fun Deer Tag Dilemma

    NV hunt by a mile! Don't bother second guessing it. Gather some points and hunt bucks in Colorado when you have them and more experience and more time. California - just drop it! Start collecting points in WY. You could always try drawing in NM or AZ too, nothing to lose. SD, Neb, Iowa...

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    I just made it real easy on myself to wait and drew AZ. Next year I'll just have to draw New Mexico, I guess 😉. Then I plan to keep the streak alive with one of those ho-hum tags in Utah. Then maybe I'll slum a year in Montana. Followed by a point burn in WY. Who knows, by then I could draw AZ...

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    Well it's time. A snowy cold winter of sitting on my butt has resulted in me finally gaining back all the remaining weight I lost in 2023. That and I am 3 years older, 50, with 2 tennis elbows, a bicep tendon tear (right arm), on-again off-again plantar fasciitis, a slightly wonky rotator cuff...

    Taking any advice on Arizona 16a

    This is going to make a great live hunt report thread when the time comes. Just keep the unit info off it!

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    It only looks like good "odds" in that bracket since there are so many additional low point applicants, so someone drawing there might be almost inevitable, but for any one of them very improbable. in reality, odds are very very poor, and comparatively poor when pitted on an individual basis...

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    Cutting tags in half, each half drawn differently. 1st half, pref point draw (like now). 2nd half, weighted random (using your pref points for more chances in the hat, but everyone has at least some chance). changes regarding how you gain preference points and whether you have to apply for a...

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    I walked and left points. I'm stupid and optimistic but not enough of one or the other or both in that state.

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    I rather wish I only had 3 points vs the points I do. At least then I'd just use them, accumulate a few more and then use them again. I can't put in for CO this year, but hunts that are possible now or within only a few more years are likely to slip multiple points of creep ahead due both the...

    Arizona Elk & pronghorn

    My fate is sealed. I drew my second choice, which, after I had already submitted, grew to become my preferred choice. I am soaking this in. By AZ standards, not the pinnacle tag, but it's a great tag nonetheless - better than any I have ever had - and I had little reason to expect to draw. I'll...
