    Other ideas to fill the freezer?

    The most underutilized food source in the US, IMO.

    Actually had to look twice because at first that’s what it looked like.

    I like how it was created by a guy genuinely trying to improve cartridge performance for hunters/shooters within the limitations of his time and available resources rather than seemingly being created out of thin air to market to modern hunters.

    Montana 2025 draws

    I think common denominator is the 15th, not day of week. Tomorrow is my guess.

    Montana 2025 draws

    I can't remember what I had for dinner last weekend. No way I'm remembering, with any accuracy, how many days I spent in which units (with a tag valid for the entire state), over the course of SIX (yes elk season is six months long) months, beginning well over six months ago. I got the call...

    End of Grizzly Delisting?

    Always seemed like a big kick in the nuts to those scientists that spent a career and/or lifetime studying them to bring them back only to be told by a federal judge with zero science/wildlife experience “not good enough” - Twice to boot, just as you mention. What could be an even bigger kick...

    Thermal recovery drones?

    Let us know if you get one.

    Thermal recovery drones?

    Don’t have one, but looked into them quite a bit. DJI Matrice 30T is $10kish and what Drone Deer Recovery YT guy uses and loves. I’ve seen some comparisons to the Mavic 3T and even though about half the cost seemed half the ability. I now see they have a Matrice 4T, not sure about that one, a...

    New Sako 90

    I agree, seems odd as I have never heard or read of any receivers on the 85's etc. breaking. I have still only seen one 90 in any retail store since the release. No one is stocking or getting them. Sako may well be the worst firearms marketer, or maybe it's just Beretta here in the US. No...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    ...by my retirement fairly easily now after seeing property tax hike past couple years. However, that's still $1300 not coming out and allows one to *hopefully* pay those taxes at less of a burden to them. That's why I said "mortgage free" and not "paid off" as I've come to realize this exact...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    ...clarifying points to consider for sure. In my point above there was no investing going on as there was no "excess" funds from the refi(s). I *think* they went to things like: new roof, concrete and other "expensive" home improvements. I was too young for my mom to discuss this stuff back...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Same. I keep trying to learn from my parents (mostly their mistakes, unfortunately). First from '08, which I was pretty young to fully understand, and they were still more than a decade out from retirement, now this. All I've learned so far are the importance of the following when retiring...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Do you don’t believe Trump is going to eliminate Federal income tax? On a serious note/question I just discussed this with a friend. IF HYPOTHETICALLY income tax was eliminated by the time a person retired would they have to pay any tax on distributions from traditional pre-tax retirement...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    If you believe it’s going to take 25 years to recover you should take @Sytes bet!!! I want someone to!

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I appreciate your enthusiasm to quell the sky is falling crowd. However, as a casual observer, doesn't the further the market go down make this bet more likely/probably for you, but you make this post as if it's more likely for the bettor? (i.e. if S&P goes sub 5k, or heck, even sub 4k...

    Medical rant

    @npaden have you looked at Samaritan Ministries? I had an acl replacement and meniscus repair in summer of 2023. Followed with nearly a year of physical therapy. Total cost of office visits, surgery, and PT was just under $40k. Total out of pocket expense was $574.70 (that's less than 2%...

    FWP online licensing not working?

    Someone didn’t read the FWP e-mail. This is literally what I feared when I read this earlier this month. It’s like they knew and warned us.

    MALA and your money

    Last time we were in a recession they just changed the definition and crisis was averted. Doubt this administration will get the same treatment.

    MALA and your money

    So are you gonna take @Sytes $250 bet?
