    What’s your 401K doing?

    BIG +1 on this. If I got excited by a $40K daily upswing or bummed about a $40K daily drop in my 401K/IRA combo portfolio, I would go crazy. Dollar cost averaging + the magic of compound interest/growth is a very powerful thing in the long-term. Max-out the IRS limits in basically any domestic growth fund (or a combo of sectors, whatever...), and over time you will be fine.

    Guide Recommendation

    Sort of interesting to me. Many outfitters have pricing posted on their websites. Maybe they just haven’t figured out 2022 pricing yet? Inflation, etc.? šŸ™„ Oh well, whatever happens, good luck PRDATR! šŸ‘ŠšŸ¼

    Hunting with glasses

    When I wore glasses, I ended-up going with daily wear contact lenses. I found I was regularly frustrated with my glasses when sweat/fog would impede. I also wanted to be able to wear sunglasses on a regular basis, which prescription glasses of course prevented. (Tried transition lenses, but never really liked them...) Though contact lenses introduced a different level of inconvenience, they were still my preferred option when outdoors. That being said, I give a BIG +1 to JSR's comment. I had Lasik surgery over 10 years ago, and haven't looked back! (Yes, that's a pun... lol) My eyes are still 20/20. Good luck! S.

    Tire Question

    My experience has been the opposite, in that I’ve always gotten max wear on mine. (Though the mud terrains HATED the desert…). Suppose it might depend on type/weight of vehicle. Just put these on my Tacoma last week. Hoping to get >50K, but time will tell.

    2021 37A Bighorn Hunt

    VERY COOL!!!! Love to see somebody getting drawn on occasion without double-digit bonus points. Gives me hope. Those Ace in The Hole guys are good people. šŸ‘Š

    Tire Question

    When in college in Salt Lake (a LONG time ago), I had BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires on my Toyota. My pals and I spent many, many, days/nights out four-wheeling while hunting or for fun in all kinds of weather, and those tires were AWESOME in snow. Honestly, don't remember how they performed on packed roads (ice), but they were great off road in either mud OR snow. S.

    History help

    Interesting.... Do you have your hands on that thing, or just the pic. Is it an actual 'sign' or more of a 'plaque'???

    Whuan Olympics, anyone watching?

    I was a 7 year old boy in 72, but I still remember my parents and older brother/sisters being glued to the TV coverage. Was channel surfing and came across 'Munich' the other night, and ended-up watching it again. The Israelis didn't stand for any crap when it came to dealing with that.

    Whuan Olympics, anyone watching?

    Yea, me too, mostly…. Was mainly just joking around. Seems like there has sorta always been a ā€˜political’ vibe of some kind or another. Go USA!!! šŸ‘ŠšŸ¼

    Unit 22 bull elk tags 1,300 some perspective

    Yep. In the old days, if you got drawn for elk you couldn't hunt elk again for 3 years. I was a kid then, and my dad would handle all of the applications and stuff, so I'm not really sure specifically how it was administered. I'll bet some of the old-timers around here likely remember that.....

    Unit 22 bull elk tags 1,300 some perspective

    Sorta get the sentiment, but don’t really agree. You wouldn’t need to raise the price of tags, because even with a 1 year cooling off period, they would still be selling out the tags each year. Regarding better odds; The number of applicants far exceeds the tags issued in any given year, plus with so many bonus points across the board, I feel like that saturation would keep the increased odds negligible. Suppose there would be some effect, but my gut tells me it wouldn’t be significant. I remember back in the late 70s when I started hunting as a kid, there was a THREE year ā€˜cooling off’ period if you got drawn. Don’t think they had a bonus point system then, though. At least not that I remember…

    Drying up

    Yuck...... Definitely not just Arizona and the southwest. The western slope of the Rockies has been in a long-term state of moderate drought, and it shows.....

    Which one of you done it?

    On the other hand, it very well could have been someone who knows EXACTLY what a Mexican gray wolf looks like.

    Elk Hunting

    Nice job on those tags. It’s cool that you took advantage of some of the hunting opportunities that are out there outside of the main stream! šŸ˜‰ I don’t know anything personally about it, but hopefully Dan (Apache7MM), or others will chime in. Let us know how you do!

    Semi auto .30-06

    That’s a beauty! I have a 7400 in .308 caliber that I picked up in college. Two of my kids killed their first deer with it. Great rifles! šŸ˜‰
  24. Anyone else going Elk hunting next week??? My last tag was two years ago, and there was a BIG snowstorm on Thanksgiving night that effectively shut me out of my unit for the first three days. That's all the time I had to hunt, so it was basically a bust. Was fortunate to get another tag this year. I'm taking the entire hunt off work this time and will be living in my Alaknak for the week, starting Thanksgiving day. Though I wouldn't mind a little snow, I'm sort of hoping the weather will just stay as it has been for the duration of the hunt. One more scouting trip this weekend! Good luck, all! S.

    Unit 36 Hunt Camping

    Hey Nick! Which 36? If you’re going to be in C, there’s often a camp or two in the Elkhorn area to provide some impromptu company. Good luck!
