Also…with the outgoing baby boomers a lot of the original lower wage workers who have remained in the workforce have had some upward mobility in income with not enough low wage workers to replace them. My 18 year old son moved from part-time 12.50 per hour to $20 per hour full-time in 7 months...

Exactly… if someone wants to come do my bidding for 12.50 an hour for 29 hours a week I’ll happily pay that and I’m not even generating revenue from their labor… just helping me get ahead on projects I want to get to but haven’t had time.

With the inflation we have had, considering what it costs someone to supply themselves or their family with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation and hopefully a little bit of living outside of that a lot of the jobs available just don't pay enough to put up with what they face: abuse...

The things I've heard about the crew out of Bussey hasn't been great. Sounds like some real winners.

I'm between Pershing and Bussey so sounds like I'm in the thick of it.

Yeah - I'm 100% positive these dogs are chasing deer rather than coyotes. There is a dead-end B-road along the side of my farm and I believe they post up along that road.

Since the start of gun season 1 I have had guys running dogs through my lease (Marion County) every few days. I believe they are passing them off as coyote dogs but to be honest I have only seen them following and running deer. Also, I think it's pretty clear at this point they are intending to...

You aren’t kidding about the deep pockets.

Congrats on a nice piece of ground!

Finding good lease ground is definitely tough. Demand is high and supply is low. Last year was the first time I have ever leased ground and from a security cover stand point the ground was marginal 120 Acres, 102 in row crops, a few wooded ditches and a 15 acre patch of woods. It didn’t hold...

Are eBikes/bicycles legal on most public lands/WMAs? I have seen guys on them before but had trouble finding anything in the regulations one way or another.

Thanks Tremper! We are excited to be here.

This is the biggest one I have pursued. WA state public land mountain buck miles from any agriculture. Night photo was the first year I found him and daylight photo was the season he was killed by another hunter about 3 miles away from the area he frequented most....ended up being 205 inches of...

Thank you. I have heard it’s nice. Surprisingly I haven’t been there...been to all the counties surrounding it but never been to Madison County. Going off my wife’s opinion from her visit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More than five years since I wrote this post and the dream is finally becoming a reality. I am retiring from the Air Force and moving to Iowa this August. We are buying a house on a few acres outside of Winterset. We are excited for the next chapter!

The Mickey Mouse Boots are the black ones... they are good too but the white ones (Bunny Boots) are for even colder weather.

The above post is spot on! When it gets cold you can't beat the bunny boots (white ones).

I won't use my heavy gear until it's around 20 degrees and below. I own an HBS but I have found that I like Cabela's Stand Hunter Extreme Insulated Coveralls more. I stay just as warm and I am free to take care of business without unzipping. They do have more bulk but I haven't found that to be...
