    Mortgages

    I would echo the sentiment that time in the market beats timing the market. I went the FHA route on my first home purchase in 2020. The fine print in the FHA loan is that you have an FHA fee (akin to PMI) that never goes away for the life of the loan regardless of equity. I could have done a...

    Arizona spring bear

    I might be down for that. Where about in Texas are you? We made the drive home in one day after hiking 8 miles back to the truck and it just about killed me

    Arizona spring bear

    Spent a week in 27 looking for bears. Didn't fire a shot but had a good time and came out with a pretty big elk shed. The unit as a whole is incredibly steep. I don't understand how the elk hunters do it in the snow. The Blue River is about waist-deep right now and we followed it back about 8...

    Arizona spring bear

    Well, it snowed all weekend & the lows aren't expected to get above freezing anytime next week. My sleeping bag is rated for 30 degrees. I am going to freeze my butt off.

    Arizona spring bear

    Is the Blue River dry? Really wasn't worried about water considering that the river runs right through the middle of the unit

    Arizona spring bear

    Well for those of us heading up next week, the weather doesn't look very "spring bear'y". Going to ride out the cold and hopefully stumble upon one. It snowed quite a bit yesterday from what I could tell on the weather app

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    I am currently down 18 lbs since Jan 16th. Did 6 weeks 100% pure carnivore with minimal training. Really ramped up the training after the 6-week carnivore diet with a minimum of 7 miles running and 15 miles walking a week. I have to have something to work towards in order for me to stay...

    Rifle Test & Review: Bergara B14 squared Crest

    I am using the same load as you and am around the same velocity. However, approximately 2,800 fps is 6.5 Creedmore speed. Not the 3k that was advertised in the 6.5 PRC

    I have the B-14 Squared Crest in 6.5 PRC and am only getting 2,750 fps at the muzzle. Has anyone else put a chronograph on their gun? I am also having cold bore vs hot bore accuracy issues with mine......

I am making just over $100K as a 26-year-old with 2 kids. I love what I do and don't ever see myself doing anything else...

    20V DeWalt Chainsaw review

    I have the Dewalt pole saw and weed eater. They are both great tools. I love not having to mix gas and change carbs out every year or two.

    Meal Plan-Prep for Hunting 2024

    I have a list that I keep in my notes on my phone for this very reason. I don't have any of my smoked recipes because those are all the same for the most part (trim fat, salt & pepper, smoke at 225 until at temp, sear). However, My family came from Louisiana and we now live in Texas. Therefore...

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    I can definitely see why people feel that way. I can only make it 6 weeks before I am dying for something other than meat, eggs or cheese. I think it is more of a mental thing and I enjoy the mental challenge just as much as the physical one. The benefits I get when I am on carnivore are...
