    Quitting Alcohol

    I haven’t been keeping up with this thread and haven’t read probably the last 25 replies that has been posted. And this story I am going to tell about might not have anything to do with what everyone is discussing. I do remember making a reply myself way back toward the beginning of this...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    I have never been outside of the U.S. and can not compare the U.S. to these third world countries. If they are a lot worse than the U.S. is now. They have to be pretty bad. Myself, my father and two older brothers all served in the military. It sickens me to see what I served to help protect...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    Well Fowl Play ? I am not saying this to offend you and I hope it doesn’t. I am assuming the picture in the avatar is you ? If so it looks like you are 40 years old or younger ? You’re probably right about me being pessimistic. But I feel I have reason to feel the way I do. When it comes to...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    Yes sir ! Sounds like our up bringing was a lot a like. I had forgotten about clothes freezing on the clothes line. Remember mornings that I would have to get something to wear for school. I could almost stand my britches up they were so frozen. I guess I am sort of the black sheep of the...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    I don’t actually live in the city now. 20 years ago only had one neighbor that lived about a mile away. The City’s has come to me. They are expanding. So it’s only a matter of time before where I live will be inside of the city limits. To get away from the crowds I would have to leave my...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    Appreciate you being understanding. I am not into depopulation thing or any that stuff Gates is trying to permote. I really don’t know nothing about the guy. I don’t know how old you are but if you’re 40 or younger I can see where the increase of the population wouldn’t be as noticeable to...

    Sorry about that Crowmangler. I seriously didn’t know who Bill Gates was until I googled him. Didn’t know what a burner account was either.

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs

    I have only read about 4 pages of this thread so far and will eventually read the rest of it. But just want to throw my two cents into this discussion. I don’t thank there are any right or wrong solutions that have been mentioned in what I have read so far. Myself I don’t think there is now...

    How Much Would You Pay?

    It wouldn’t matter if you were willing to pay quadruple and buy 3 licenses for yourself. That won’t stop point creep or the growing number of hunters. Bottom line is there is big money in the revenue that the sell of hunting license bring in for Colorado and Colorado government are well...

    How Much Would You Pay?

    For me the quality of hunting in general has really went downhill. My opinion it is because of population growth in the number of hunter’s that has caused severe over crowding. Which causes a lot of problems that takes away the joy of hunting. The cost that it take’s to hunt about anything...

    Meniscus Surgery Before Hunting

    Not to confuse you. I meant to say I was told to wear the knee brace for 6 weeks but I only wore it for 2 weeks before I didn’t need it anymore.

    Meniscus Surgery Before Hunting

    After reading what all of you went through I consider myself lucky. I tore a meniscus, heard it snap into when it happened. Could only manage baby steps to make it back to the house. They took some kind of X-rays and confirmed it was tore loose from where it attaches to the bone. I was in...

    Stock Rental

    Decker pack saddles, that’s what they are called. They are more expensive than saw bucks but I think would be worth the extra expense. One of the guys that I rode a lot with was assigned to a unit in the military that used mules for military operations. He was really knowledgeable and knew...

    Arkansas hunting and fishing?

    I am sorry ☹️ ? I just assumed that those Canadian geese that show up at picnic tables less than 5 foot away at a lot of camp grounds were tame because if you toss bread out too them they gobbled it right up ! Another thing that was throwing me off were the white bands around their necks with...

    Stock Rental

    That instructor sounds like he knew what he was talking about. I think it would be a blast to learn how to pack in and out by horse or mules in itself. And I don’t mean just tagging along once or twice with someone that knows what they are doing. I think it would take a lot of trips packing...
