    Just finished Terminal List. Ordered True Believer today. Can't wait. Carr had a great idea in writing a fiction book based on what a person actually would want to do, based on what happened to his character's family/troops in the book. And he used terminalogy and tactics that were real, not...

    2021 Spring Turkey hunting

    Yup, I heard the same thing when I was new to turkey hunting. And I believed it......until I called two toms across a river one day. Sometimes they'll do it, sometimes they won't. It's kinda like when ya hear someone say, "elk bed on north slopes, way back in." Well, we busted a nice bull and...

    Retire early to hunt more?

    I like the idea of donating plasma as an income source. Is that money taxable or tax free?

    Retire early to hunt more?

    I'm 53 now and will be retiring from LE in 2 1/2 yrs. Mortgage is paid, am maxing out a roth IRA as well. My wife has a good 401k going with her job. I can keep my insurance with the city when I leave, but I'm going to jump onto my wife's plan instead. I'm planning on getting a part-time job to...

    Retire early to hunt more?

    Not trying to tell ya what to do but I'd think hard before you cash out that pension to invest it on your own. I'd keep the pension and get a Roth IRA going strong. Is your pension IPERS or 411? Do you have all of your years of LE in the same pension? If so, I think you'd be further ahead...

    Backcountry Archery Clothing

    I would definitely get merino wool base layer, including under shorts & socks. You’ll thank yourself after you wear the same socks & shorts for 7-8 days straight cuz they won’t smell. You’ll prolly pack too many clothes on your first backpack trip, even though people tell you otherwise. I did...

    ...

    I have plans in Iowa, Wisconsin, & South Dakota (pending draw). I purchased my 2 Iowa tags, drew a 2nd season WI tag, and entered the draw for a prairie tag in SD. I plan on adding Nebraska and Wyoming to my list in the next couple years, that way when I retire in a couple years, I'll hopefully...

    Your preferred Irish Whiskey

    I'm well acquainted with Bourbon, but would like to get to know a couple Irish whiskies. I'm told that Red Breast is a good one. Any others that you'd recommend?

    Az Ban Trail Cams?

    Do other hunters ever get pissed if you hunt a wallow/water hole that has their camera on it? Lets say you show up at that water source and get set up to hunt, and then the trail cam owner shows up after you. Does he get mad and try to run you off? This is how it went down on the Missouri river...

    How to gain clean weight (for my skinny son).

    Check out GOMAD (gallon of milk a day). Plus what others have said about squat, bench press, deadlifts, shoulder press. Forget the bicep curls.

    Back to Work

    Listening to a lot of you guys talk about how you retired in your 50's makes me feel very much at peace with my decision to do that very same thing in 2 1/2 yrs at age 56.

    Shooting at Reelfoot

    Go out and hunt Santee Nebraska on the Missouri enough times and you'll see this very thing. Loved hunting out there, but this is the main reason I stopped going. However, they did eliminate the permanent blinds so hopefully problems have lessened. But yeah, I've seen this type of thing (my...

    Back to Work

    Interesting, mandatory at age 55. How many years did you have in? I'm guessing the more years in, the greater the percentage in your pension similar to ours. I'm knocking on the door in 2 1/2 years, can't wait. I have a couple of part time jobs in the works already just to keep busy and fund...

    Whisky has no e, for peat's sake!

    Kentucky bourbon for me. Buffalo Trace or Elijah Craig are excellent for $30 ish a bottle. If I feel like spending $40-$50, I'll pick up Four Roses single barrel or Woodford Reserve.

    I’d bet that you’d qualify for expert voice & Guidefitter. Vortex, Burris, Bushnell, are on there

    The Social Dilemma on Netflix

    I found the Social Dilemma to be spot on. Social media and mainstream media have so much power over us that we don't realize it. I've never been a more happy person since I deleted FB, Instagram, and stopped watching/listening to mainstream media 3 years ago. Social & mainstream media have the...

    Any PADI members?

    I was PADI certified in HI while in the Army. Made several dives there. After getting out of the service, I dove very little. My last dive was in the gulf several years ago. I miss it very much.
