    Am I a jerk? (Read before voting)

    I don’t think you’re a jerk. I take my kids hunting and haven’t really been in that situation, but I remember growing up with kids who’s dads got them all set up on big deer for their first hunts. They didn’t take any time to appreciate all the work their dads did to get everything prepped and...

    CPW seeks input, allocation of licenses

    I thought the survey was interesting because there’s no way to validate if a person is a resident or non-resident for the first question. And, you can fill it out as many times as you want. So, I wonder how valid the results will actually be.

    Guided hunt fee structure

    I've never been on an outfitted hunt. But, if someone is guaranteeing you certain number of animals a certain size, I would assume they are either lying or it's some kind of high fence deal. I would want someone to lay out what their plan was..."We're going to start here, cover this amount of...

    Had the same thing happen to me on Amazon for a pair of work boots I bought and had some issues with.

    College vs skilled trades.

    …Because part of getting the license is having a degree from an accredited institution?

    College vs skilled trades.

    Nobody is calling anyone else “less of engineer”. If you’re bitter you couldn’t pass a fairly easy test that all of the other dumb engineers passed, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Licensure is a requirement in my states as a CYA for insurance. If you’re doing electrical, civil, or structural...

    College vs skilled trades.

    I’ve got a masters degree in engineering, PE licensure, and my commercial electricians license. I enjoy doing design work during the day and wiring houses on the side. I think you should consider your options. I went to college for free (lottery scholarships), met a ton of people, and learned a...

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    Second question. Who is buying all of the houses in California that these people are selling?

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    I think that real estate has been undervalued in some places for a while now and the COVID-sparked exodus from cities has shown that. What I can't really fathom is how people are paying $80, $90K+ for a truck right now, and even before the chip shortage. If someone can explain that to me, I'd...

    Are most OTC units like this?

    I’ll never understand the complaint of seeing other people on public land. Isn’t that the expectation? Come hunt the 2% of the state of SC that’s public and see what crowded looks like. Nothing like having to figure out how to hunt a 100 acre tract with a bunch of other guys who have “If it’s...

    Ways to pinch pennies

    I don't think it has been mentioned, but take care of your meat vehicle. I see a lot of guys killing themselves working 60-70 hours/week for years a time with the pipe dream of what they are going to do when they turn 65 and "retire". The only problem is by the time they get to 65, they have...

    Career Change Thoughts?

    There are some great recommendations above. I'll share a little of my current situation. I'm 32 with 2-1/2 kids (5, 3, one coming in November). I have the exact same fears about my job. Stagnation, no room for growth. I think most hard-working people under estimate how valuable they are to...

    Can Colorado OTC Elk Last Forever?

    Nothing lasts forever. But, I don't understand why NRs still hunt OTC units in Colorado when you can apply for a unit with 100% draw odds and at least cut down on some of the competition. I feel like OTC is more of a convenience for residents and maybe NRs from bordering states. I can't...

    Mismatch Camo

    Me and a buddy did a lot of laughing and head shaking last year packing out his elk and getting stopped by every dude "from Denver by way of (fill in the blank)" wearing matching First Lite with a weatherby vanguard we passed on the trail just asking to look at the meat or antlers. We looked...
