    Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf

    That's easy, it would be people with the deepest pockets. Just like it is now.

    Buying Land

    Agreed. In fact, the OP would need quite a large down payment for a bank to even consider going into business with him. I think the guys speculating on how much the land will be worth in X years are looking at this as a personal investment. I'm looking at it as the OP is going into business...

    Buying Land

    Businesses do it every day. The money invested, even if financed, just has to be less than the income produced. A construction company buys an excavator for $1000/month loan payment and maintenance. That excavator just needs to produce more than $1000/month for the company. The OP (assuming...

    Buying Land

    Which is what I said in my original post about properties with upside and flipping them short term. The OP asked about buying to lease, not buying to sell. The numbers on ag leases are abysmal.

    Buying Land

    You are speculating, not investing. You understand there are actual numbers that you can run to determine ROI and Cap rate right? A good investment looks different to different people. If you are willing to tie your money up for 30 years gambling that it might pay for itself in 10 with rent...

    Buying Land

    You show me 80 acre parcels where $12,750 annually even comes close to paying the mortgage and I'll show up with my checkbook.

    Buying Land

    Not sure about CO but in the midwest it's generally not a good way to invest unless the ground has a lot of upside potential and you intend to sell short term. You are going to pay capital gains unless you can 1031 the land. Just leasing the ground is going to give you a very low ROI and Cap...

    Fixed blade for the field

    I'd focus on materials rather than brand. S90, S30, or ATS34 are hard "stainless" steels. That means they'll hold an edge better than, say 440 or 420 steel. There is no such thing as a free lunch though and those harder steels will be harder to sharpen. Micarta and G-10 are pretty tough to...

    Illegal Thermal Use

    Ah! Another Hunttalk thread where we pretend that technology turns people into poachers.

    Anyone Use a 350 Legend?

    I picked up a Savage Hog Hunter a couple years ago in 350. Killed a couple of deer and a bear with it. Accuracy is great out to around 150 yards, trajectory starts dropping fast after that.

    WV bear in the freezer

    The kids have been recording the hunts. This is a short video they made of that week's hunt.

    WV bear in the freezer

    My wife and I went to West Virginia for the early season hoping to get her a bear. Things didn't work out. It was warm, several little bears were treed and the only big bear made it to private ground before he treed. Still, it was an enjoyable trip and we got to catch up with friends that we...

    Upbeat tunes on Wednesday. Because I feel like it.

    How to transport little outboard motor

    You can pick up used boat trailers for $200-400 around here. I'd grab one and not worry about taking the motor on and off.

    Whitetail reflexes (traditional archery)

    There is no rhyme nor reason to when of how far a whitetail will duck at the shot. I've had several deer stand there, take the shot, flinch as the arrow goes right through them and then walk away calmly to die shortly thereafter. I've also had them turn themselves inside out as soon as the...
