If you measure something then it will improve. Now, other ramifications can arise.
Why are LEO who lack radar ever writing a speeding ticket much less a ticket stating a specific speed by the person they pull over?
End this cash grab. If a warden is writing a wildlife-oriented violation and...
Shame them on social media. Remember the college student that tried to dodge his past? Google "Brock Turner" to see the power of 1000s of social posts which merely states facts re his conviction and his full name. His family tried to spend their way out of the hit to Brock Turner's reputation...
I was in South Africa recently. Leopards are growing in number and are now something you need to account for as walk outside if you are rural. Can't hunt them legally. They can kill a person of any age or size. Much like a grizzly bear. Changes how you approach leaving your home when you are not...
And, this is how I had so many rifles at one point. I now have a custom 7mm-08 and a custom 338 Win Mag. Those two rifles together will kill something dead with one shot for every tag I have ever drawn. I found that limiting my rifles to two allowed more time behind the scopes of each and built...
The next recession will make it easier to walk away. I did not need a recession to bail on WY. Is insulting how much they raised the cost knowing they would cut available tags so that the random sheep and moose pool is so small that living decades may still not get you to the max point pool. Is...
I pull the entire team as soon as can get another team in place. Pull Clinton's or Kamala's but a change is needed in case one of them was compromised. The perimeter was not secured allowing anyone to get near that building much less with a long gun. That building should have had someone on top...
I hate being on Rx. My maternal family DNA is 100% Type 2 diabetes for the past three generations of adults who lived beyond 50 years old. I was declared Type 2 back 15 months ago at age 62 though had been borderline diabetic for a few years so I would get chastised during my annual checkups.
I...
I have watched prognosticators predict market pullbacks for years. They always spin a good yarn re bloated P/E ratios for the tech sector or broad market, or inverted bond yields, rising oil prices fueling inflationary pressures, etc.
I yawn.
I have attempted to play the casino game known as...
Re #2: Very few people will benefit from paying 1% or more annually to a financial advisor. Advisors not only erode your returns as they underperform the market net of fees but also can dramatically underperform the market by playing “casino” with your money.
Some advisers win at the game of...
Nothing but Euros going forward since I battle bugs every few years on my mounts. I did relent and have three mounted items coming from my recent African adventure because the sable, gemsbok and impala will look good with the older mounts from North America when I was not 100% Euros.
CO Billy...
I have never enjoyed a frozen steak as much as a raw steak. I grew up on mostly frozen steaks from cattle we raised and had butchered then wrapped in freezer wrap and stored at the German butcher's store with your name on each package along with what the package contained. My understanding is...
When we have about 6 carriers circa 1942 and were facing about 8 Japanese carriers, we got lucky in head to head battles. Coral Sea and Midway could have ended much differently if a scout plane drifts a few miles to one side or the other.
Today's technology is different. Industrial capacity has...
This is the painful truth and China knows we lack the cojones to tighten our belts as raise taxes so will end up doing neither and the train wreck continues until we are Argentina with runaway inflation and no way to cover old debt except to print more money thus devaluing that debt PLUS...
I am culling the herd. Now that am a few months from being eligible to get a lifetime hunting license in Arizona, I will be culling even more. I may end up only applying in AZ, NM, NV and CO as those are easy road trips when have a tag. I have a crap top of points in those except NM which is a...
I have done a half dozen or so guided/outfitted hunts in North America over the past 40 years.
When is just me and a guide then 10% minimum and up to 20% if the guide is cooking and setting up camp with firewood, etc.
If is a fixed camp with staff and I am the only hunter then still 10%...
I recall when they came on here talking like they were the coolest website ever and we should kick rocks here and head over there. The grey-hair types here told them to kick rocks and quit trying to tear down another website to promote their website. I hope they got banned here. The thread is...
You are going to get this done! I figure this is no less of a mismatch than Nikola Jokic playing against a junior high team's center so maybe you need to only wear flip-flops to give the billies a chance. Looking forward to the updates!!
Spent 10 or so days solo in grizzly country when they were active. Saw sign including steaming scat about 50 paces from my tent one morning as was hiking in the dark to up the ridge to glass at first light. I decided before the hunt that I did not want to carry the extra weight of a handgun as I...
Prayers sent. I will echo you should strongly consider reaching out for help from people who have been a part of this journey before as they are special and know the answers to questions you may not even know to ask.
Is this just NM residents opining? I wonder how NM hunters would feel if CO says no cow elk tags for NM hunters, can’t hunt certain state lands in CO as a NR and sliced bull elk tags for non-guided NR by 70%?
