    Dall sheep doable for under 25k ?

    And paying the outfitters is just the start of the expenses, tags, commercial airline (plus last minute change fees), additional baggage, hotels that are 2-3 lower 48 etc. You should 100% do it but there is nothing cheap about going to Alaska (done two trips in last 4 years).

    Truck Camper/Topper for Hunting

    I love my soft topper. Even though I have a short bed F150, I just close the top flap and leave the tailgate open and get the inside warm with a Mr. Buddy when it’s really cold.

    Drones in the news

    I’ve had some decent intersection with federal drone regulation and mitigation with my job. 1) Big, very capable drones are not difficult to make if you have $$ and a some knowledge. 2) personally made drones are often not set up for flight restriction notifications 3) unless they are over a...

    Best lightweight Binoculars for backpacking

    Swaro cl 8x30s are amazing glass and about the perfect size. I have some el 8x32 I also really like. For longer backpacking trips where hunting is not the goal I pack my 8x25 pockets.

    Ford F-150 reliable?

    I have a 21 stx 4x4 10 speed with 41k. No issues so far. Last truck was a 2014 Ecoboost with 160k. Kept a maintenance log and did plugs twice, cam phasers once even though I now think it was a bad battery, 4 wheel drive selector. I have driven a variety of trucks for work, ford, dodge, gmc...

    Cornerstone Gun Dog Academy experience?

    Also important to keep expectations low for the first two years. Dog’s mature and we have unrealistic expectations of 1 year old dogs. I’ve sat in alot of duck blinds, many with guides who do it all season long, and have yet to see the magical YouTube dog who doesn’t occasional break. Same with...

    Ultralight chair to throw in your pack?

    This is my favorite. If I’m fly fishing and camping it’s coming along but I like to be a bit more mobile hunting and usually just use a thermarest z pad and lean on my pack.

    Cornerstone Gun Dog Academy experience?

    Yes. I’m all for positive reinforcement training but for some dogs it gets you only so far. If you have unlimited time I’m sure you could work through it but I didn’t. My dog hates a check cord and would take a victory lap after retrieving before returning to hand. Collar immediately fixed the...

    Cornerstone Gun Dog Academy experience?

    I used this program with my British Lab who is now 6 1/2. I got 95% there and resolved a few small issues with an e collar. I bet the dog has got less than 5-6 exposures his entire life but it changes his entire way of doing things.

    Investor insight please.

    Haha. I posted a similar thread. I’m pension heavy and 39. I haven’t had good luck with run of the mill Bank of America financial advisor so I found a fee based CFP in Austin and booked a meeting in two weeks. In the comments I explained that I want to better understand the intersection of...

    Swinging Flies for Trout

    I’ve swung soft hackles on a single hand rod on the Madison inside of Yellowstone, late October, and it has been some of the most enjoyable fishing I’ve done, and also brought in some massive trout. 2014

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    I have a meeting set up next month with a CFP to run the numbers on the intersection of pension payments/inflation/deferred comp draw. There is no age penalty for drawing out of the def comp as long as you are separated.

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    No minimum age and I started at 22. You buy out at 20 or 23 is full retirement and multiplier (3.2) keeps helping out for every year you stay.

    ID Spring bear/Steelhead trip help

    Went to a spot where you could do bull trout and bears. Now you got me thinking.

    You can go back in time…

    OnX. Just paid for my yearly Elite subscription but the adventure was bigger with a paper map. I remember doing 15-16 mile days fly fishing in Yellowstone and having no real clue where I was. Something magical about getting “lost” in the woods.
