    Secondary Draw

    They don't hate you. They love you and your money. But, well, it's just that they love non-resident money more. So would I if I was getting 13X the money for selling a tag to a NR. OH BTW, I'll sell you My Ram truck for $390,000...Or should I sell it to my resident neighbor for $30,000? Meh, I...

    Draw Results for the Leftover Draw

    DCV, If it makes you feel any better IF my group had applied for the antelope area we are after this year we still wouldn't have gotten it. Which really surprises me actually. Point creep is growing bad and we might have to sit it out for another year or two. And that's applying for a special...

    2022 Fishing thread

    We caught 170 crappie overt the 4th of July weekend. I didn't get to take a single picture. The yellowjackets are so bad at camp this year that we cant lay the fish out for a good photo. Must be a big nest of them pretty close. Should have taken a cooler picture but those don't really show...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    Funny part about being heavily invested in the S&P 500 is that when a person looks at the summary of funds available to them in their 401K plan, the S&P is beating most if not all of the target retirement fund plans available with a MUCH lower expense ratio. Not only does the S&P produce more...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    To elaborate on my situation: The company that I worked for several years back, basically lied on their financial backlog report to inflate the stock and then several large projects got cancelled.......They got caught in their lie, and it basically bankrupted the company and forced them to...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    I would stay away from an ESOP. I fell victim to that once upon a time. Never again. I lost a pile of money on that adventure.

    Kodiak Canvas 8-Person

    It’s heavy but very manageable since the poles are in their own bag with the stakes. That makes it manageable. Just guessing: 50lb-tent bag 30lb -pole/stake bag.

    I/We had to do something. Back on a 2019 Colorado elk hunt my wife woke up to 2” of water in our tent ( that I assured her was a great tent that was waterproof) and I assure you that she wasn’t impressed. Lol good times. I didn’t tell her that I had bought that tent in 2000 and was too cheap to...

    The Memes Thread!

    ^^^^I threw one of those through my dads roof shingles when I was a kid. My ass still hurts from that beating….. I almost got away with it but when I was climbing the tv antenna to get up on the roof to pull it out the reception on the tv started acting up and he came out to check it and there...

    Kodiak Canvas 8-Person

    It was $650 on sale. This is the “delux model. I have been eyeballing these tents since they hit the market years ago. Never liked a wall tent. We used one back in 02 and I just didn’t care for it. It was too big, leaked, and it was SUPER heavy. This one is heavy but small enough that you...

    Secondary Draw

    Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to the youth or seniors getting first shot at the tags in the secondary draw, IF, the people who drew the tags in the primary draw as their first choice loose all of their preference points as a punishment for turning their tag in or not paying for it. AND if...

    Kodiak Canvas 8-Person

    Its got to be at least 75 pounds. Not something you would want to pack very far. Maybe a couple hundred yards at the most. I unzipped it yesterday evening once the rain has passed and it was completely dry in there. Sleepingbear, How does that Mr. Heater buddy work in the tent? We have one...
