Congrats on the new family, @wllm and enjoy every aspect of this trip. Gus get to go caribou and moose hunting with you. Hope he doesn't get high centered in the tundra. Alaska hunt is my dream, just to see the country mostly.

Hey little buddy just keep crankin that soulja boy.... Can I get a liter of Cola?

We all aim for the stars in our life for something, knowing inside we'll be happy if we just hit the branches on the tree.

That's pretty much how I start out every hunting season and finish. Some years I don't even get to the tree.

As good of a hunter as I am, and not being able to shave until I kill an elk I’ll look like this in 2043.

Not to be outdone, I predict Gerald is chasing his wife around the kitchen as we speak just so you guys can share the baby thing too.

I kinda like the idea of chasing my wife around the kitchen, but we are all good on the baby front. My youngest holding, my granddaughter…

Hat's off! What an EPIC series of hunts! Look forward to following your adventures!

My multitask dial is pegged at tie shoes and querying, Did I start the keurig?

The future holds hope.

Congrats on the baby and good luck the hunts, wllm! We may have crossed paths at SeaTac yesterday. I was coming back from a fun trip to Sitka.

Landed in AK, BIL was headed out of state to hunt and we did a car key pass off at the airport…

Got my locking tag… kid behind the counter at sportsman’s “holy chit NR have to pay $650 for a tag, are you sure you want this”

… thanks for that kid.

Before long it will be “$650 do you know how many Huggies that will buy??”

I really have mixed feelings here.

First, to compete with @noharleyyet on reactions, you really needed to split the baby news into its own thread. Easy 2x multiplier. Happy as heck for you, but overlooking that common sense strategy is damn disappointing for someone as smart as you. But, it’s not too late; just think of all the future untapped thread ideas: corgi saddles for infants, best boots for babies, reduced creedmoor loads for infants, etc. I believe in you! You got this!

In all seriousness, I am super happy for you @wllm . Biggest congratulations!

Did you buy all of the locking tags up front, or can you wait and extend your schedule on the hunts if needed and not have to eat the $$$?

Not even close for the first year plus probably. Day care is nuts for little ones.

Its gotta be cheaper than a wife that stays at home and looks at Pinterest and watches HGTV and Magnolia channel.

I can’t build anything, and can’t afford to pay attention

Hunting caribou first means he at least is buying the caribou and sheep one. If no sheep, sheep can be used on his moose then

Pinterest…the bane of mankind!

Wife: “Honey could you go dig out the tin from that horrible looking barn you burnt and buried 5 years ago? I think it would look good as the ceiling in the bathroom.”

Me: “you said it was ugly that’s why I burnt and buried it.”

Wife: “yeah, but it would look pretty in the bathroom” I saw something similar on Pinterest

ME: spends day moving equipment to dig up old tin.

Me:”here’s the tin honey”

Wife: “wow, thst looks horrible, we’ll use something else”.




Me: realizing she doesn’t bitch about me hunting too much, hanging up the call to the divorce attorney.

 

[Shortbowshot]

Should we get a hunt talk baby name thread going for @wllm ?

If it's a boy I'd personally go with Corg La Croix.

Always wanted to name a boy JustinCase. Just in case we had one. My wife didn't see the humor in it, but your welcome to try it.

Please! Dear God show me a place where I can get daycare for $650 a month.

Please! Dear God show me a place where I can get daycare for $650 a month.

Let me know after you find out. If it exists the wait-list is probably 10 years long
