    Side effects of lasik/prk and the outdoor experience

    Best 3500 dollars I’ve ever spent in my entire life. Took a couple weeks to not immediately reach for glasses first thing in the morning. I literally got it done with elk hunting in mind. My eyes are a bit dryer but man is it a game changer. No contacts or glasses to mess with, I absolutely love it.

    DO NOT tell your non hunting friends you killed an elk...

    I always share with people. It’s a good way to introduce people to what we do that may be on the fence. It starts the conversation of why I do it and what it all entails. I haven’t flipped any vegans but I have a guy I work with who will only eat wild game I bring him in for meat. I’ve also...

    2021 Wyoming General Elk Tag

    I would guess you'll draw, but I thought I'd draw this year and ended up hunting Idaho. You want it guaranteed go special, but I would guess you'll be ok.

    Hunting after Achilles’ tendon tear

    The reason we call it tendinopathy is the actual structure of the tissue changes. With tendinitis it's simply inflammation of the tendon, which doesn't cause significant tissue formation changes. With tendinopathy that inflammation has been in there long enough where the actual cellular matrix...

    Idaho NR prices go up

    Yes, maybe not as early, but absolutely yes.

    What happened to OnX this year?

    Had zero issues in the backcountry of Idaho, head to SD this weekend and don't anticipate any issues again.

    Hunting after Achilles’ tendon tear

    Not necessarily a book but Jill Cook is the god mother if you will of tendinopathy injuries which is essentially long term inflammation of a tendon. She has hundreds of studies published and has spent an entire academic career on the subject matter, but I’ll dumby it down. Most tears went from a...

    Bow hunters over calling

    Meh- you hunt how you want and I'll hunt how I want. I don't drive 1500 miles to try and sneak in and shadow a herd, I drive 1500 miles for the interaction of a bull screaming in my face, if it's a spike or a 320 I shake the same; that's why I'm there. I can't get that interaction hunting...

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    We hunted a zone not far from you. We weren’t into elk everyday by any stretch of the imagination but they were there. The elk knew how to avoid the pressure and we still saw em. Was it kind of a shit show with the number of people? Yup, but I wasn’t really expecting anything different. First...

    Wyoming Elk 2022 Outfitter Suggestions

    WY GEN and CO OTC aren't on the same planet in terms of quality of hunt. I'd probably do what you're doing now but likely wouldn't be going outfitted, but understand why you'd want to. After that I'd only accrue enough for the general everytime and go hunt. I've seen plenty of 300+ bulls on a...

    Worst Case Scenario - Bad Shot

    Shit happens man, we've all made bad shots on chip shots, nobody's perfect. I drilled a gorgeous bull at 55 yards and 12 ringed him and watched him die 30 yards later. Came home and blew a 7 yard broadside shot on a whitetail out of a treestand, riddle me that? Heat of the moment things...

    1st Hunt: Chasing Coastal Elk with a Bow

    Buy the Elk101 course as well. Bugle's don't need to be great, my buddies sounds like a chicken being raped but elk will come into it. Don't necessarily focus on spikes or big bulls, whatever you call in try and shoot, simple as that :) You've done your homework which is good, I like your...

    Hunting after Achilles’ tendon tear

    A lot depends on surgeon and protocol. I’m a sports Med PT and a lot of how you’ll do is based on what the surgeon allows. An aggressive surgeon will allow you to give it a go with an aggressive heel lift and stiff boot that almost mimicks a walking boot. I’ve seen others that make it non weight...

    Wyoming Units

    When I've hunted over there muley rifle hunters haven't really messed with anything we were doing, a little busy on the 15th, but they were for the most part just passing through and we weren't really hunting the same areas. I've had them tell me where they've seen elk and I've returned the...

    Idaho returned Sold Out

    I got a buddy an elk OTC tag that missed out when he should've bought it.

    How many years before you got your first bull?

    I've been pretty lucky, killed one my first year. And have since killed elk on the other 2 hunts I've been on as well, all archery. As a group we killed 3/4 last year and everyone in camp had multiple shot opportunities. You learn a ton the more you go and I feel pretty confident about...

    Debt and the Hunter

    That FHA 3.5% down loan is eligible for anything up to a 4-plex. I’m guessing the fact that you have no duplexes near you would also mean you don’t have any 3 or 4-plexs either but just thought I’d throw that out there. I didn’t house hack my first rental but it’s still the biggest financial...

    Debt and the Hunter

    I agree with your statement here. I just don’t think he’s great for financially literate people; but he does have a place. He just seems very snake oily to me the way he presents his stuff as if it’s the only way to go and anyone who thinks different than him is an idiot. I’ll give him credit...

    Debt and the Hunter

    Personally, I despite Dave Ramsey but realize he has a place. I think his advice is ok for people who are struggling with finances and debt; but once you have a net worth of above zero I find a lot of his advice absolute garbage. Buy a house with one of "his" providers? Only get a financial...

    Buying a house

    Or do you the best of both worlds and buy a 2-4 plex and live in one unit and the rent the rest and live for free or even get paid. Live in it for a year, rinse, lather, repeat. House hacking is an amazingly powerful tool to build wealth with a low down payment. Interest rates aren't going to...
