In roughly the same boat or at least will be there soon. I have been enjoying my kids hunts right now but when it’s time to get serious I think I might take a year off hunting and just plan a two week trip and scout the areas and species I plan to hunt the next few years. I don’t mind a great...
I just bought a new pack as a back up to my other one. Anyway ordered a frame and bag with unlimited return. Pack came when I was on a hunt for back a week later and tried the bag out with a few different gear in my room and just did not like it. Had to leave for another hunt so I put it away...
I know this might go against things for people who like to shoot but I would probably just narrow it down to couple of rifles and then just go from there. Once you keep adding new rifles, it’s new powder, new dies, new primers. The list goes on some just sit and never really get shot. I would...
It’s not the load. You are not missing by that much with any variation in loading. I am sure you could change powder and bullet and still hit a sign at 50 yards if everything else is solid
I think of all the hunts that I missed in the early 2000s. No real reason for it just did not really make it a priority to go out of state or build points. Was starting a family, paying off a small student loan and thought I needed save money and pay everything in cash. Also built a sports...
Mostly day hunts but prefer to be in a ways and hunt from there. Rough being in bed and waking up 1:00 morning to hit the road for 2 hours and another 2 hours to hike in. Makes for a long day and tough drives but when you don’t have much time it is what it is
I have lots of hunting pants and even bought new ones this year not really sure why.
Every hunt for the last 4 years I have worn the Costco pants. They simply work and hold up well. Only thing I don’t like is a slight pant twist around the boot.
Cheapest best pant on the market
Where are you at? Maybe someone will help you out if you are close
Biggest thing is cool before using. Fill with blocks of ice. Milk jugs and then pack with ice.
Keep it in the shade. It’s amazing how hot they get if the sun is on them.
Should no problem lasting a few days if you do this
I tired to stir him towards something in medicine but really likes math and thinks engineering is the path. I am guessing he will head that direction and end up in the sales and management area of engineering.
Super Slam is just a dream but heck might as well have something that motivates you...
I have told him the degree gets you in the door and after that your career will depend on you. He is a hard worker and pretty level headed so I think he will do well once he settles into something. Hunting and fishing seems to always be the number one priority and finding a job and money to make...
Thanks for the input. I did tell him more than likely after a few years in he would be moving up into management or sales. I really think that is where he will be best at. He is a people person by nature but also has a good work ethic and responsibility. The degree will just be the starting...
Wondering if any of you guys are in the mechanical or civil engineering fields and live in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana or Colorado. My son has been researching these fields and wanted to talk to someone who is currently in the field or has gone through it. His main things that we talked about today...
The grass is never greener. Learn to enjoy what you have. Be easy on yourself, others aren’t doing any better even they try and convince the world they are. Learn to weld. Learn basic electrical work. Diet and exercise, it will catch up to you. Love your children but don’t put them above...
