Easier said than done. Young people just starting out and seniors eeking out survival on a fixed income. When prices and COL was low (decades ago) moderate rises in inflation vs wage increases was copable. Fast forward and inflation plus rising costs across the board make it a stretch for familes to keep pace and save for the future. Granted, it's not quite a perfect storm and people are not looking for handouts. Fiscal responsibility is completely not in the big picture of politicians as they skim the cream. Show me one that actually is serving their constituants needs without having a hand in their pocket. They all want to be a Mother Theresa but once they get elected and see how much personal gain they can get by manipulating the system they get jaded. The number crunch is what most people do in their spare time without any seriousness, "I've got time, gonna start next year". Say you would have retired 20 years ago at 65 with $500K in savings, no pension and $2,500 a month in SS. I don't have to tell you about the price of groceries. Today at Wallyworld a can of Progresso Soup was $2.48 and a watermelon was $8. Food City has watermelons @ 85cents a pound. Those suckers were bigger than a basketball and probably weighed 15#'s easy. Sure SS dishes out a COLA, but it doesn't even keep up with the yearly Medicare increase. Which by the way is far from free and you better have a suppliment policy too so expect to fork out $300 or more a month. Need to go into assisted living? Hope your family can ante up $10K a month.

I probably missed it but when was your hunt?

Congrats on a successful hunt. What rifle did you use?

Yup, They raise multiple clutches even in a normal year when the first one is successful.

Nope. But you will get a fine. Depending on what day of the week and who you talk to when you are ready to pay the amount will vary. “Yá’át’ééh is a Navajo greeting.

I do my own oil changes. My truck takes 15 qts so I buy 4 gallons of Mobile 1 5W-40. Since I only drive it on weekends I change it once a year at 5K. A Motorcraft filter was $9.95 at Walmart until Ford changed the PN and design in 2024 and the price jumped to $25. By the time I replace the fuel filter and add some Hot Shot Secret Stiction Eliminator to the oil I'm around $200.

Scheels?

That engine has had issues for a decade. My son had a 2016 Sierra that was a money pit between the engine and the transmission.

60 Cents is way high.

This will be way worse than last year. Offshore temps are already up.

Turn him over to the relatives.

Harley that's been pretty much the standard twist rate forever. It's a great cartridge. If you are planning to only shoot longer bullets then a faster twist would be in order for 130's but the usual 117's are more than adequate for shots under 500 yards.

My son has a Shedding Machine, I mean Blue Heeler. He's no Skid Boot by a long shot but is friendly and at about 4 years old pretty mellow. His mother was a farm dog so no idea who the father was but he looks 100% Heeler.

Gary Senft probably.

A friends daughter has a French Bulldog that is a few years old. Loves to play fetch and is super friendly.

Tell you what. Sell it to me on the 17th for five Benjamin's and I'll feel lucky.

I think an Independant would practically have to walk on water to get elected. Maybe in 20 years.

Lakes Open.

How doe the FOV compare between the two?

Jihob? (sp)?

Buy a box of this and see how it shoots. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1001712899?srsltid=AfmBOorQmIsPsTD89yH6reiCws4X_fnpedIQ4h1kncrII8vPfCpsJKFn&pid=350315

Good advice Butch. @ idgaf do you have a chrono?

What did that runt score?

I'll take it when you come to Phoenix.
