    What's Your Side Hustle?

    Just started doing tree removal/trimming the last couple years. Don't advertise at all, just word of mouth. Very strict about 1-2 jobs a month, max. May do more once the kids are out the house, but they help now for a little scratch. Did it 15 years ago full time and knew it wasn't for me...

    College vs skilled trades.

    With either career choice, the best option is to be a motivated business owner. Trade or engineering firm.. Not for everyone, but as a banker it is pretty obvious that's the key.

    The Ford Bronco....

    Mine is a 1974, bought it north of Caldwell, Idaho in 1997. $3,500 and it came with some spare parts. Haven't done much to it besides paint job, now I just use it for cruising in the summer. Still have the top, just don't want someone to slide into me in the winter. So fun to drive with that...

    If your car loans are with your local bank or cu, you MAY be able to use the equity and good credit history to get a loan with lower interest rate to pay off cc. Worth asking your banker anyway.

    Father/son Trip Ideas

    I just spent 9 days in MT, ID, WY and SD with both of my boys, same age. Shot one grouse. But the adventure was awesome. Your boy is right, it won't matter. Get away, turn off the news and laugh. And do a better job than I did about taking pictures! Enjoy it.

    Election Yard Signs

    Just back from going through 5 states for elk hunt. The only Biden sign I saw was 300' from my house. Saw Californians with a Trump flag at their camp. Those 5 states would get you 15 electoral votes though...

    First Speed Goat!

    Congratulations! Sounds like a fun hunt. But Stepbrothers is a tradition? My tradition on quick (2-3 days) hunts in Montana is tag soup... 0 - 4 so maybe I should try it.

    A new update to the classified rules.

    It's funny, when I joined it was for the classifieds. Thinking I would buy tons, I got to 9 messages and stopped. I spent more time reading the forums, articles and thoughts of what other members are planning, and couldn't care less about the classifieds. I don't need new gear, I need more...

    Tundra or Tahoe

    I had a Yukon XL and went to a Tundra Crewmax this year. The only thing I miss is sleeping in the back/heated. I did spend 3 nights in the Tundra this fall, not comfortable, but I made it work. Bloody clothes and gear are better in the back of a pickup in my opinion.

    Season - 2020

    Excited for a MT mule deer hunt with my sons. Hoping to get more time bowhunting with them. Maybe ND badlands archery/rifle. Tag season is always interesting.

    Right handed left eye dominant daughter

    Go with dominant eye. Son was left handed everything, but right eye dominant. He would hit a target once in a great while. Finally convinced his stubbornness to try it, and all of a sudden he is 60%. My case it happened to save me a ton of money also...

    SE MT Archery mule deer

    I've hunted closer to Ashland 4-5 years. If you stay close to the roads it will be tough, like it was mentioned plenty of road hunters or guys pushing the closest draw. Put the walking boots on and get away from the crowd and you should have some luck.

    Kifaru to compare to my Stone Glacier

    Curious if you have modified the Nomad 2 in any way for your different hunts, or kept it stock?
