    Do you find technology helpful in staying fit?

    I find technology does more to keep me UNFIT than fit. Thats just the opinion of a 47 yo who grew up playing in the woods on a 1000 acre farm hunting and fishing when you didnt have devices and apps to help you locate game or fish or tell you how many steps it is to your treestand. So that...

    I did chase a bear off with a filet knife once. There is a video of this on my computer somewhere.

    When do children return to school where you are?

    Yeah, i agree with you on a lot of that. HOWEVER, if i were a Superintendent i would just say, "no phones in school" and leave it at that. Any phone found during school hours gets confiscated and the parents can come pick it up after school for the kid. Parents dont like it take your kids out...

    When do children return to school where you are?

    To this day I just cannot understand why schools are unable to just say, "no cell phones during school hours"??? Heck, my wife and i dont let family members have their cell phones when they are over for things like Christmas gatherings anymore because all they do is stare at them, lol. My son...

    When do children return to school where you are?

    WI has no such required minimum number of days, so now you know. I couldnt care less what you all are doing in California.

    When do children return to school where you are?

    Incorrect, all things in education are driven by red or blue. But thats a different thread.

    When do children return to school where you are?

    After Labor Day as it should be. We live in a highly Conservative small town though who collectively still believes in parents raising their kids and the importance of family.

    Correct way to run on rocks with rifle?

    It is a TERRIBLE idea to even consider telling your kids to run over rocks with a firearm. Do they still teach hunters safety in this country prior to giving licenses or is that a thing of the past?

    Military service late in life

    I made the conscious decision 10 years ago when my son was born to put him and his needs ahead of my own needs and career goals. I still live by that decision today. IMO this country would be way better off if more people put their childrens needs ahead of their own. Thats my two cents on the...

    Ground hunting pressured whitetails

    I do this and found that the one thing that increased my odds of making a kill on the ground is drawing the bow as soon as I hear something and anticipate the buck stepping into my shooting lane. I really feel for most of this type hunting you have to be at full draw when the buck steps out so...

    Is the legendary Region G dead?

    It won’t effect the deer herd in the least. There is an ebb and flow to nature this is as natural as the sun coming up. It will however effect those that want to hunt them. But the Mule Deer absolutely will be just fine long term.

    Hunting with a watch?

    Funny how times change with all the love for the Casio G Shock. I remember when those came out in the 80s and only nerds wore em now they appear to be THE watch for outdoorsman if the sentiment here is accurate. Mind you, i know zero about whats cool or needed in a watch. Mine is like 20...

    Anyone carry their rifle in hand while hunting in the mountains?

    In hand 100% of the time. This was drilled into my brain by my Father from as young as I can remember. Its certainly come in to play on many hunts having had animals i hadn't realized were there jump up in front of me and i was able to get a shot.

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    I can get on board with that. Suburbanization is just as bad, a sterile way to live imo. Id imagine not many people in those sprawling cookie cutter subdivisions have much connection to anything other than the consumerism you mention.

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    Its sad that people are losing their connection to the land. Cant imagine someone who hunts or spends any time outdoors doing anything wouldnt understand how sad the increasing urbanization of America and the increasing disconnect people have with the land is. When you own land you are...

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    So youre arguing that it would be better financially to pay $2000/month rent for an additional 25 years than to pay my $3000/year property taxes, $500/year home insurance, and utilities which I paid for anyways when i rented 25 years ago? Keep in mind, if your house is worth say $500,000 and...

    That’s really sad when you think about it, really is.
