    Flying from NY to hunt pronghorn

    I imagine you’d be better off to buy the ammo once you land. At the end of the trip just shoot whatever is left for range practice!

    What’s your occupation?

    I guess I can change this to currently unemployed due to Coronavirus. Hopefully our company can bounce back when this is over. Otherwise, if anyone is looking for a carpenter give me a shout lol

    COVID-19 Links, facts and discussion. Politics and hyperbole welcome.

    Now that I’m done with a heart felt rant....I’m gonna go shoot my bow!

    COVID-19 Links, facts and discussion. Politics and hyperbole welcome.

    I really appreciate all you guys who are posting helpful articles. The Washington Post graphic regarding the way transmission works and how “social distancing” helps really hit me. I decided to take off work even though we are still open. I am lucky to have a fiancé with a good job who is...

    Buy Now or Later — Tires

    Even though it pains me, I’m going to run these for a bit longer. I have other things I need to spend the money on right now. They’ll be gone by deer season, though.

    Happy Place Pics: stress and anxiety are toxic

    A few of my favorite things: - Hauling bucks back to camp with my dad and one of my life long mentors. - Sitting high in stands watching streams in Maine. - Fishing with the love of my life...even if she’s just there for the naps.

    Corona virus

    That’s the wisdom i was looking for. Can you write me a note to send to the boss man? Lol

    Corona virus

    here’s my dilemma...do I go to work back in NYC on Monday or do I tell my boss to shove it and cut wood at my cabin all week and hope this chaos blows over? I’m not thrilled about the possibility of being quarantined in the “jungle” and I can live for a week with or without the paycheck. I did...

    Flying from NY to hunt pronghorn

    Does anyone have experience flying from NY to hunt? I’m considering a Wyoming pronghorn hunt. Driving is an option, but my PTO is limited so flying could save us a few days. I know there are resources discussing flying with rifles, but NY is it’s own beast. Ideally I’d fly from JFK. Anyone...

    Will market volatility and or heath concerns with the virus influence your western hunting plans

    Honestly, it’s a reminder that you only live once, so do the things you want to do. I had decided not to travel for my first western hunt this year, but if I keep my job and finances look solid I may go out to Wyoming to try my hand at a pronghorn hunt or pickup a MT deer tag.

    Corona virus

    All this political rambling reminds me of drunken times around the table at deer camp....Gives me the warm and fuzzys

    Corona virus

    The stress of the thing is more likely to kill me than the virus itself. On another note, people here in NYC seem to be carrying on pretty normally aside from so many people working from home. I’m heading up to my cabin this weekend and will have a hard time leaving come Monday morning. This...

    Corona virus

    I’m skipping this week, I guess. Pretty bummed about it considering it’s my go to stress relief, and I’m pretty damn stressed right now. Deeply considering taking some time off work to go hangout in my cabin.

    Corona virus

    I’m supposed to head up to Maine where my family lives to pickup a car that we bought. Would love to see my old man, but given that I live in a place where there are cases we decided to just avoid the possibility. I, like most younger people, will probably be ok, but that doesn’t mean that we...

    Getting started hunting or fishing $$$

    Is he not in an area where he can hunt locally? A lot of money can be saved and experience earned by hunting locally. Doesn’t matter if it’s turkeys, whitetails, or squirrels. I’m a “born again” hunter, so my experience is not nearly as far along as most guys on this forum. I’m planning to...

    Corona virus

    I’ll fly fish for trout in no kill zones...no bass spots open yet. I like to scout right after the snow has cleared. Scrapes and rut sign are still visible before the greenery comes up. Plus, it’s a good time to look for sheds even though I never find any.

    Corona virus

    Well, a case was reported in my girlfriend’s office building in Manhattan. She’s working from home for at least a week, and I might be asked to not come to work til we’re in the clear. Looks like I’m taking some PTO and doing some whitetail scouting...that is, if I don’t end up one of the few...
