When my son was too young to walk with me pheasant hunting I’d just put him in my elk pack. He loved it. Had a view right over my shoulder for everything going on. Him moving around back there trying to see what’s going on messed up way more shots than a shoulder strap ever could. Did that...
I had a claim on my home this year and my current carrier is jacking my rates up by 1488.00 per year. Time to go shopping. I'll take my home and auto to whomever gets my business.
Anyone have any recent experiences with USAA? Older reviews seem favorable but nothing recent that I found...
Absolutely I do! but I also give him the chance to prove himself.
Obviously I’m not handing a 6yr old a rifle and sending him hunting. He’s under close direct supervision at all times. He is allowed to shoot his BB gun and compound bow on his own though. He knows if he proves me otherwise...
My son started tagging along with me at 2 years old. Trapping, hunting, fishing, he was with. He had a BB gun and a 22 in his hands not long after, all the while learning firearm safety. At 5, he expressed interest in shooting a deer. I told him he had all summer to prove himself with a rifle...
Keep after it @TW33 You’ve a once in a lifetime opportunity here and you’re certainly making the most of it! Stay motivated through the rest of the season, I know how mentally grueling it can get after a couple months of being hard at it.
I mowed lawns all summer as an 11 year old to save enough for my first deer rifle. I was dead set on a blr in .308 which is what I got. It’s generally an MOA rifle. I should dig it out of the safe and shoot it again one of these days. Probably been 20 years since I’ve shot it.
My understanding of talking to their clients is that the outfitters stand in line on behalf of the non resident clients to buy them tags out of the general pool on Dec 1. One of these guys told me that he had had a tag in that unit for 15 years straight. The other guy was 7 years straight...
I spoke with a few other NR hunters in ID this year. I was told more than once that the outfitter that they drop camp in with just has all their guides and relatives go stand in line and buy their clients tags over the counter. Not even using the allotted outfitter tags. It certainly seems...
I quit early on an archery elk hunt once. I left home sick as a dog late one night after work, drove the 18hrs, spiked in prepared for at least 10 days. Finally got some sleep at about the 45hr mark. The weather was Rain and snow the entire trip. I just got sicker and sicker. I remember my...
