    5 states, 4 species, and hopefully a boys first deer.

    Good on you for doing the right thing.

    Hybrid?

    Looks like a mule deer to me, I shot one with a similar rack long time ago. Nearest whitetail was 300 miles away.

    Roth conversion and RMD

    I'm about the same age and in similar circumstances. The factors you mentioned are the ones I'm familiar with at the federal level, there might be a few more depending on what state you live in. In my case (NM) there is an additional hit in that Social Security becomes taxable once you cross an...

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    I've been seeing elk sign in the Rio Grande Bosque near my duck hunting spot for a couple of years now, but no actual sightings till this morning. Before I even saw a duck, 3 elk waded across the river; cow, calf, and a decent bull. Video using phone so not great quality, but if you zoom in you...

    Is .5 HP Grinder enough?

    I've had a cabelas 3/4 hp for about 25 years, it's been great. I split the cost with 2 other guys and we share it, dozens of elk and other critters gone through it, plenty big enough. The cutting blade broke one time, and i think we replaced the cutting disks once. No first hand knowledge of 1/2 hp.

    Leupold 2.5-8x36 still worth it?

    I had that scope on my 300 WSM for about 20 years, recently replaced it with a Swarovski Z3 3-10x42, which is a bit pricier but just under 13 oz. Nothing really wrong with the Leopold but I'm happy with the newer scope. Still have a 2.5-8x on a back up rifle.

    Dealing with cows

    They definitely like the ashes in a fir pit, so not having a fire might help. I guess they like the mineral content. One time after eating the ashes the cattle decided to lick my tent, cow slobber embedded with ashes all over, what a mess. At least they didn't break down the tent.

    All true, but still don't see how that gets A&M at #8 on the list.

    9/11

    Me too, was at work at Kirtland Air Force Base (as a civilian), which went on high alert. After a few hours of watching the news we all went home, a very somber time.

    I'm scratching my head over that one too, maybe some type of Aggie joke there.

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    One or two less than I really need.

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    I caught a lot of grief on this forum after I revealed the number of boats I own. So the number of rifles I have is none of your business 😁

    Let's hope it's just poor cell service and not the FUBAR.

    Dang, that sucks about the heart troubles. Maybe you should have gone with Little Debbies instead of the Hostess Donettes.🤔 Good luck!
