Be smart like you always are and you should be good. I grew up in the “burque” and still spend a good amount of time in NM and never had any issues. I don’t put stickers on my truck of all of the cool (and expensive) brands of equipment that may be inside and keep things out of sight. I do this...
Definitely agree. A little Saturday night feast. Thin sliced, salt and pepper, tiny bit of lemon juice. Used inner loin from this years cow elk. Insanity.
Seriously - so grateful for you all chiming in here. Being day 3 on this journey, I may reach out directly to some of you or post more specific questions. This evening, my wife and I were just discussing there being two types of parents when something like this happens. The ones who make it a...
Hi Everyone - figured it would not hurt to cast a broad net here in hopes of hearing any tips, tricks or advice about being a parent to a young kid (3 year old daughter) with Type 1 Diabetes. We just found out on Wednesday 12/30 after spending some time at Children's Hospital in Denver. They...
I am on the first time pastrami train too. Trying it with the cow I got this year. Just got mine cooling and ready to rock for some reubens over the next few days while we all hang out.
Heck yeah. Doing some backstrap tonight. Anyone out there vac seal your own meat that you figure you will end up putting in the sous vide with the herbs when you put it all up initially? I was just thinking - need to cut open a bag to just vac seal it again for the sous vide... Seems like I...
Heading out to Nebraska for the first time as a NR to hunt some does (one tag allows for two does) in January. Looking forward to what I hear is a fairly relaxing time to get some meat in the freezer after getting some access on some farms where farmers are very welcoming for folks to come harvest.
~2:50pm - With the first trigger pull the group all moved about 15 yards and were looking around. The cow I shot was standing but had not taken a step. I fired again. This shot sent the group barreling down the hill but the cow I was shooting at still hadn't moved and was still on her feet...
I thought it's about time for me to contribute with a write up of my recent late season cow hunt here in CO. I have struck out for elk in each of the last two seasons after having a long tear of success. Add on another steamy bowl of tag soup during the 2nd OTC season here in CO this year only...
Great question and great advice so far. Having two little ones this is an interesting topic for me. Right now, we have 529's set up for them based on index funds but I love the ideas of including them for the journey and allowing them to weigh in on some of the choices as they get older...
Sounds like fun! The random twists, turns, pastries and stranger's advice make for the best stories. Seems like you had some good hunter's karma going for you on this one.
So awesome! I can’t wait to get my little ones out there. Just yesterday my 3 year old was asking out of the blue for some “buhl elk noises dada.” Sounds like you nailed it with your son’s adventure. I also love the idea of making something cool from the ivories for him!
Treat contributing to savings as a monthly cost, not an afterthought. Even what seems like small amounts will help over time. When you get a raise, increase your contributions to your savings/investment account. Above all, one thing I took away from a Finance degree in college was Time Value...
Thanks for the write up! I will take lucky any day. Congrats on filling your tag and once again, a great lesson showing the importance in having a handful of options in your pocket.
