    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    Yes I’m ok spending the small amounts(>$1000/hunt) I do to hunt DIY rather than pay down my mortgage because one does need to live life, however spending upwards of $20k on hunts that you don’t have the cash for doesn’t make fiscal sense to me in the least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    There is a difference between diy hunts and guided adventure hunts. I have a mortgage, one that I plan to get rid of as quick as possible. In the meantime I will continue to hunt as much as I possibly can but I won’t be paying 10’s of thousands for any hunts anytime soon, to do so would be...

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    The “other guy” also said that he will pay off that loan in 2-3 years, so why doesn’t he just save the money for 2-3 years and not pay interest and loan costs[emoji2373] the reality is these guys don’t have the money to do the hunts they want to do and if taking a loan at 7+% interest is the...

    Is he too young?

    His is actually more expensive than my sheep application, no junior pricing for applications and he isn’t price locked to pre 2018 prices like I am. It’s awesome that your son got a tag, let’s see some pics of that ram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Idaho Spring Bear

    I think you misunderstood what he is saying, he isn’t planning on taking a wolf, he just wants to kill it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is he too young?

    My 9 year old recently passed hunter ed, he will turn 10 in October and be able to hunt big game here in Idaho. There are a few sheep hunts that open after his birthday that he would be eligible for. He has been in the woods hiking/backpacking/hunting with me from the time he could walk. All he...

    It’s not a big deal to me as I don’t wear black and tend to wear earth tones personally Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Idaho Spring Bear

    I’m guessing ticks show up better on black than lighter colors, thus the difference[emoji2373] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Non- and anti-hunters on game commissions

    Do you think that the 5% who are anti hunters should get to make all the wildlife management decisions[emoji2373] because it isn’t just about hunters not being able to make decisions, that seems to be the only alternative they want. If it were just ordinary everyday non hunting people using...

    Nature Conservancy and the Western Solar Project

    The issue with using land that has been developed for oil and gas is it isn’t a 1:1 trade, currently 90+% of the landscape is still intact even where they are extracting oil and gas, wildlife is able to use that landscape as they always have with some level of disturbance due to ongoing work...

    Rapid City, SD

    If I could convince my wife I think South Dakota would be an awesome place to live, I’ve only been a couple times but it seems like a sportsmans paradise. Congrats on the move Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nature Conservancy and the Western Solar Project

    I listened to the whole thing, the nature conservancy guy continued to dodge the questions over and over, when he said that solar projects would only be placed on previously disturbed lands and Steve asked him “what counts as disturbed lands, would cattle grazing be disturbed” and the guy says...

    BLM to open 22 mil acres in Western states to solar

    I don’t think the solar panels have any chemicals in them, just a lot of circuitry made from rare earth minerals[emoji2373] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    how dumb is this/are people?

    I think people get caught up in auctions and don’t think about what they’re actually paying. I saw an online auction recently where a vortex Diamondback 3-9x40 riflescope sold for $210, I could buy the same scope on Amazon for $207 and not pay the auction house a $26 premium on top of paying...

    Criteria for Unit Picking

    I once tried to grade out a pile of deer units in Idaho based on 1)acres/hunter-since just total hunters doesn’t always tell the story 2)hunter days/buck harvested-I wanted to have the best shot at success in the time I was able to allot 3)4 point%-trophy potential, enough said One unit...
