    Pick apart my retirement plan

    Kids are expensive until they are gone, and you need to factor insurance and other medical costs. You also need to budget for your entertainment and tags/hunting in other states is not cheap.

    What hunter stage are you in?

    I don’t think I fit any those categories.

    If you could move anywhere?

    I think you'd need more than 2, and it still won't be perfect. On the other hand, who needs perfect.

    Land Owner Perspective on Western States

    I'm not sure what you think having a land owner tag is going to get you if your "whole goal" is to have cows. If you want to be back in nature, I suggest you should also include land with dense tree growth. Of course, that and cows don't really go together that well.

    Looking for a good pair of 15x56 binoculars

    I bought a used pair of Toric 15x56s. They are pretty good although they are significantly larger/heavier than my 12.5x50s. Fwiw, they sell direct to consumers on Amazon.

    22ARC VS 6ARC. Help me choose

    22 ARC with not much wind. Otherwise, 6mm ARC out to 500 yds. Not much difference for 200 yds. Hornaday has a YouTube with the comparison, fwiw. I think they are both inherently accurate.

    When to quit?

    First rule, hunt where the game is. It’s a hobby for most people, so how much game do you kill in your other hobbies? However, if you aren’t having fun, I say quite for a while.

    Shooting near homes?

    The weird thing is you can buy a gently used Lexus GX, LS with a great offroad system and outstanding durability and luxury for less than a Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, etc. Lexus is truly the best kept secret in either SUV or cars. They are generally perfectly maintained and in perfect shape...

    Shooting magnums more better

    Reload it down and/or use lighter bullets.

    Shooting near homes?

    That seems really close if that map is accurate. What's your plan if it goes into private ... you will likely need one.

    Need a new truck, what’s good?

    I don't know why they are here, but from what I understand there are some differences in menu options/features for some brands/models. I would make sure there isn't a significant difference.

    Need some help on rifle decision

    They both will probably be good choices. I'd buy the one you are leaning toward. Weatherby is the same company, but the 307 is a new action.

    Its boot shopping time....

    I think I'd try to buy the same brand/model and probably go to the same store.

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    Sad that some of you are so fixated on what others did in high school. You must have had a rough time.

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    I bent several bars in high school and damaged lifting machines. The coaches weren't mad at me, but said to stop doing it before I got hurt. The reality is that unless you are going for a lifting record, the extra weight is probably not a great idea. I don't think gaining that extra muscle...

    Bino help?

    Look at used. Otherwise, take a look at Tract and return them if you don’t like them.

    Replacement Knee's

    Ouch, the only complication that I've heard about is getting addicted to the pain killers, so keep that in mind.

    Brittany Spaniel...

    I had several over the years. I probably should have one now. In any case, do keep in mind that they can vary in range quite a lot. Do pick one that matches how you plan to hunt or a calm variety if you don't plan to hunt.
