Pick a state to become a resident ...
There have been a few of these type of threads from a place to retire perspective. In some ways that is easier because you don't have to worry about the job situation. I've been looking for a place in Wyoming to buy as a future retirement type deal for a while now. It has the best resident...- npaden

Sons 2023 Elk back from the taxidermist
Thanks for the comments everyone. I shared them with my son and he thought that was cool. Still pretty stoked about it all the way around. I think it helps show that even a blind squirrel can find a nut occasionally. I really did think that the bull I shot in New Mexico in 2010 could be the...- npaden

This cardinal and chaparral got close enough I was able to take some good pictures with my cell phone.- npaden

Really, Wyoming?
Back to the topic at hand and avoiding the name calling... I do think this is a Wyoming problem and goes all the way back to the crazy way they messed up the whole delisting of wolves in the first place with their "predator zone". If they had just treated them as a game animal throughout the...- npaden

What's your side hustle?
Are you staying under 26,000 GVWR with that setup? I'm wanting to get a mini excavator and have been looking at options to try to stay under 26,000lbs so myself or my son would need a CDL to haul it. My truck GVWR is 11,350 so that only leaves me 14,650 for the trailer and machine. The E42 is...- npaden

Sons 2023 Elk back from the taxidermist
I posted these pictures in the original thread on the hunt and debated whether to post them on a separate thread or not but have caved in and decided to post them here. Super excited and proud of my son on this bull. He was going to shoot the first legal bull we saw and this was it. I think...- npaden

My son's 2023 Colorado OTC Public Land Bull!
Got him back from the taxidermist already! Super fast turnaround. Makes my 2010 New Mexico bull look pretty small. Got my whitetail from this year back too. -
Spotting Scope or Telescope to view game?
Interesting. I had my post moderated for providing a link to Swarovski's website that had the details on the spotting scope I mentioned. I got a notification that my post was moderated for posing a sales link. I checked this link (that the moderation note linked me to) and there is another... -
Good for you Botswana
The zebra steak was excellent. I'm not upset about you calling it a trophy hunt. It's the abrasive way that you do it. Go back and read a few of your own posts where you essentially say that anyone that trophy hunts would just as soon leave the meat to rot as to eat it. That is not the case...- npaden

Good for you Botswana
You know Buzz, you might just sometime take a step back and try not to be a jerk. I went on an African hunt. I cared about the meat. It was delicious. I would have paid $$ to get to take some home. It is the U.S. government that won't allow people to bring the meat home with them. I try...- npaden

2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread
Only animal I've been involved with in Colorado so far. Got our applications in on Monday to hope to get more opportunities in the future. Just before: A bit longer after than I would have liked but it worked out: Picking the finished mount up from the taxidermist tomorrow!- npaden

Fixing social security
Lots and lots of rhetoric and very little actual progress on what would need to be done. Ripping the cap off like with Medicaid just isn't going to happen. Huge difference in 2.9% extra tax on high earners and 12.4% extra tax on them. The extra 2.9% caused some complaining and whining (of...- npaden

Fixing social security
Earning just under 20% of all income but paying 45.8% of the tax seems like a pretty good deal for the people making 80% of the income but only paying 54.2% of the tax. Could they pay more? Probably. Are they an unlimited piggy bank. Nope. Where's the line?- npaden

Fixing social security
I've popped into this thread a couple times and seen it run the gambit of expected straw man angles so I'm not sure if the points I'm about to make have been covered or not. I'm not going to go back and read through 21 pages of circular logic discussions to see. The biggest issue with social...- npaden

Mountain lions "losing fear of man"?
I think the "fear of man" theory is pretty difficult to articulate in a way that holds much water. It's not like mountain lions or grizzly bears are sitting around the water cooler "hey did you hear ol Tom got shot last week, I guess I need to start staying clear of that area now, those 2...- npaden
