    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    As the move towards 5g increasingly clashes with the ability to get a signal in far flung places away from major population centers--exactly the type of places many of us hunt--is Onx taking any steps to ease the ability of it's data to be downloaded over weaker than before signals? All kinds...

    My first new vehicle

    Just drove a 25 Ram Rebel with the new 3 liter twin turbo. Plenty of power and smooth shifting...couldn't feel it shift. Better MPG than my older hemi even sitting up a bit on mud tires. Didn't realize how huge their crew cab back seat is now!

    My first new vehicle

    New Tundras should be avoided until they sort their engine trouble out. When you recall 100K trucks and REPLACE THE ENGINE it doesn't speak well for the decline in quality control. Shopping next spring starting to look now. Still not sure whether it will be lightly used or new, but at...

    2 months till Opener for the King

    Mine has a bumb shoulder. Good thing the King can still be very feasibly hunted without a dog at all.

    Roth for a kid?

    The politics of the changing demographics--with a huge and growing pulse of boomers retiring and beginning to live on a fixed income--and they VOTE--makes me question whether they will rise much for the middle class. The wealthy I sure agree they will, they have to to begin work to ease the...

    Roth for a kid?

    The assumptions on that run were not atypical--assuming a higher tax rate while working than while retired. A 7 percent average return (which might be more generous than I would use although it's fair going backwards) and 6K a year kicked in. All contribution amounts with those assumptions...

    Roth for a kid?

    "Kids" was the topic, and I assumed that meant a kid out of college gainfully employed with their degree and earning decent money. If you are taking someone much younger I would agree a Roth is the way to start--but you might want to pivot to pre tax depending on your situation. Here's one...

    Roth for a kid?

    How do you do the math? And are you assuming the math is the same for everyone? It's not. Appears certain I will be paying less taxes when I retire than when I was working. We are not alone in that. It's an individual, and an individual by state--question. Having a pension that isn't...

    Roth for a kid?

    Your money grows faster in pre tax than Roth. People focus so much on the future tax angle they forget about earnings! There are things to think about and Roth is not the best choice for everyone. And both might make sense too. Talk to an accountant, not folks on a web board. I can't imagine...

    Wolves hit Isle Royale campgrounds in search of food

    Depends on whether you consider actively inserting mans hand into what was a many decades long natural lab/research area was a failure.

    Access idea re: landlocked public, PILT, and property taxes

    Not when the people whose political clout or inside info not available to all helps them acquire the land cutting off public access in the first place. Seen both, and it was never supported by the public agency that was forced to sell. But the politicians or rich folks responsible sure want...

    Wolves hit Isle Royale campgrounds in search of food

    Huh?

    Wolves hit Isle Royale campgrounds in search of food

    Not really, actually if you want to enjoy hunting for many years it's critical to get more non traditional folks outdoors and appreciating that opportunity.

    Local Working Groups and Their Influence on Wildlife Management

    Took me some decades to realize and fully live this, but real progress often requires extra effort and the patience expended over some time. If it was easy and simple things would be better already.

    Alps packs question

    I have yet to strap on my Alps Big bear but it's a but larger than I expected. I think I can wear it fanny pack alone if I don't fill it up. Full or with any heavy things I'm guessing it will sag a bit. I need to wax the zippers they are not great on some of the pockets. Water bottle pocket...

    Tribal Walleye Spearing

    Tell them it's turned into a world class musky and smallmouth fishery now. Not because of native harvesting--because of zebra mussels, warming climate/waters, and other things. Still plenty of walleyes though. This was a mesotrophic lake where you couldn't see down too far which helped...
