Reading this thread is depressing, eye opening and motivational! I LOVE HUNTING but I was a work-a-holic for 20 years and always put work first. Most of my checks were for over 60 hours a week and some for over 100! I made great money and my wife made even more. We could afford nice vacations...
I have a Canon M50 with the 15-45 kit lens and looking to add a few more lenses. I will be using this camera for a mini documentary and filming my hunts and BJJ competitions. What would be the next 2 lenses I should buy? Thanks.
It's not your wife's living room. It's the home both of you make together. Perhaps she doesn't understand or appreciate the love, passion, pride involved with the harvests you made. Marriage is about compromise, anything else builds resentment. Good luck, sincerely.
I was watching a "bushcrafting" video with my son (almost 9) after our hunt yesterday. He wants to go camping in the winter now after seeing a small wood burning stove in a tent. There is so much info, I dont know where to start. We would be "car" camping, but I still want to go on the light...
I have a Halon 32 and call me ignorant, but in the grand scheme of things, it only shoots slightly "better" than my 2005 Switchback! IMHO, people fall for all the marketing b.s.. I kill deer with a 200 fps longbow with complete pass-throughs.
NJ 11/11/2008. I called out of work to bowhunt the rut all day. Got dressed by the barn and noticed a LARGE buck maybe 135-140 about 200 yards away. I sprayed some buck bomb on my boots and into the air, dipped into the woods and ran up my stand. No sooner had I hoisted my bow and knocked an...
I finally got around to sighting in my new Ruger American Predator in .25-06. I bought this gun for $350 (used/never fired) and dressed it with a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44 that I purchased for $300 new on Ebay. I'm getting clover leafs to 1" groups with 5 brands of ammo from 85g to...
My hunting partner and very close friend is Will Jimeno. He was a PAPD rookie, and only 1 of 3 to survive the tower collapse that day. I for one will never forget. Here we are just last week enjoying a beautiful day in between morning and evening hunts on the western shore of MD
I have a friend who is retired and on a fixed income with a side hustle. If he wants something new, he sells something else to pay for it first. He mostly buys used and will wait for a deal. It's worked out really well for him and keeps his wife off his back.
