Well, you can move. Seems important. Comes down to how important it is to you I suppose

5 weight fly rod and a little plastic case of flys packs pretty light, straps right to the pack and I’ve yet to see anything out perform a dry fly in a high mountain lake Don’t really even have to know what you’re going with one up there and still catch fish. Hell I don’t

thats fair. but i still say you can choose what affects your joy. - "i only get to hunt every 3 years??" or " i get to hunt every 3 years!!!" what can you do about it? i guess make more money is a viable option and buy high price hunts. i can tell you right now, especially with my girls...

probably only a 20% interest rate too. i say go for it. stupid has its own rewards

Yup. Usually a bunch of them around too

They happen to be the units I know,and know what’s in there. not just a crowd follower. I can hunt and kill decent bucks/bulls over the counter in Idaho. There’s really only a handful of tags I’m remotely interested in drawing. They’re hard to draw for a reason. I’ll cry about it on here in...
