In a nutshell, you can’t afford these sheep hunts. Just the way it is. Everyone can’t have everything they want.
I realize almost no one thinks about that sorta thing anymore though. Everyone wants it, are entitled to it, and they want it now.
Absolutely NOT!
Just because there are a lot of fools nowadays (you know what they say about a fool and his money) does not mean you need to pay $80 for shells to hunt turkeys.
Case in point. The turkey i shot last year was shot with my grandfathers 60 yo 16 gauge with shells i found in my...
I was born in 75’, long before the internet, cell phones, cable tv, etc. We were the generation our parents had to literally go looking for us to tell us to come inside to eat, get ready for bed at dusk, etc. I had nothing else to do BUT play outside.
Fast forward to today i’m that same kid...
Where a good portion of todays parents went wrong, with say the current 20s to 35 age group, is they let them have unsupervised and unfettered access to phones, tv, and social media. These devices shaped the attitudes and social mores of that generation.
And yes, that age group by in large...
If you actually work or are actively looking for work, pay your own bills, and feel it’s your job to provide for kids you made you’re a great American.
There are many nowadays, more than any time in history, who cannot check off a single thing on that very simple list.
We have 4 inches of snow coming in WI and the media (and a lot of people) act like we are all going to die. Snowpocalypse is coming! The news tells you to stock up on food, carry water and a flashlight in your car, stay home unless absolutely necessary, kids school is cancelled the day before...
This is BS driven by greed. However, it’s supported by the majority of people out there as they are clearly paying to watch all this stuff.
If the majority didn’t just accept it, bend over, and pay more money to yet another provider they wouldn’t make any money and the incentive to do it...
The WT Sitka stuff is way too heavy, bulky, and warm to be useful for anyone other than some Elmer Fudd who drives his 4 wheeler up to his ladder stand and climbs up to sit in it for two hours.
If you walk at all or are mobile in any way whatsoever a lightweight layering system is far more...
Make him wait then buy him a decent bow when he’s able to use one. No better way to get a kid interested FOR LIFE than to make him long for it then earn it when he’s ready. The anticipation leading up to his first year hunting will make it all so much more exciting when he finally gets there...
God i hate dogs like that. Always the result of their owners and those owners are the most likely to lose it on you when you treat their dog appropriately as you did.
I had a willful dog once. Tested me often until i broke his will to test me anymore. People nowadays use all that positive reinforcement and treat their dogs like they’re people, that’s bs.
I barked ferociously (verbal reprimand) at him and smacked him sideways each and every time he tested...
There is NO WAY a gutshot deer that sat overnight with temps in the 30s is spoiled.
Now that we have that out of the way cut it up and throw away anything that marinated in stomach contents overnight. It’s not spoiled but it won’t taste good. You’ll probably only lose the inner loins.
You sound offended?
Just cause someone hunts doesn’t mean we are all on the same team.
Have more hunters on any given property than the property can support and the quality of the hunt declines. This is pretty much where we are at right now in most of the country.
My solution is less...
I’d leave this chump at the baggage claim to fend for himself. I mean come on, i drank that stuff in college dorms cause it was cheap i never would have guessed there are actually people who only drink that.
Mathews DXT, no other bow compares. Mine is still my current hunting bow as it has been since i bought it new. Doubt i’ll ever have a reason to buy a different bow.
