Right there with ya man.
I got a blood disease and take 40k+ worth of clotting factor each month. I hit my deductible every year in January.
I get to have ankle fusion surgery on Thursday. I'll be off my feet for 8 weeks then in a boot for 4.
Anyone wanna travel for habitat work?
$1700 for a bronze level caresource plan
$7000 dedictible for me, $14000 for the family
Ain't being self employed great...
BTW, I've already hit my deductible for the year.
I don't have any current pics, but generally we make windows. (By We, I mean them)
Rip down 3/4" wood frame, then caulk glass on either side and attach a hinge to the window. Foam Tape to hold scent in when it's closed and a turnbuckle to keep it closed.
If I'm out there again soon, I'll try...
I do it in anything down to 0 degrees.
A buddy heater will help if we only have single pane windows, but double pane plexiglass takes care of most of it.
Gamechanger
100% can and does happen. Just have to build them tight and use expansion foam, double sided foam tape, and caulk correctly.
I'd argue that's been the biggest game changer for us. Forget the wind, hunt with the windows shut and wind blowing into their nose/bedding area. Then when it's time to...
I have about a 2.5 acre pond that has a couple wet weather springs and other than that is just run off. So I don't turn over a bunch of water.
Would love to hear thoughts on a solar aeration (electricity is gonna be tough, but doable) to add some air to the pond and help the fish. It can get...
They're lean.
I've shot a couple and we always add a bunch of domestic pork fat to it. Then they're good.
When we're going here in a week or so, I'm hoping we can shoot a couple little ones and smoke the whole thing on the grill. That'd be cool.
I view it as different kinds of fun. I killed a deer with my compound this year and it was a lot of fun.
I also enjoyed watching a deer fold like a card table with my rifle.
I enjoyed watching my 13 year old shoot an antelope with a rifle too.
I killed a buck with a crossbow. It was fast and...
I can make the distinction. It's more difficult to get a deer killed with a compound than with a crossbow. I'm just saying it doesn't matter as much as you say it does. That's our own opinions.
I sat with my 8 year old as he killed his first deer this year. On a beautiful October evening. I...
