Insane.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

If I had more than enough money to live comfortably I can’t think of any other pursuit besides hunting I’d rather spend it on.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Haha I feel the opposite. Even if I had F U money, I don't know that I would feel comfortable splurging that much for a tag. I suppose it's a write off and a good cause though  :tung:

You’d catch me spending 20k for me and my best buddies to take two weeks off with otc tags in all of our pockets doing a cool float or fly in hunt somewhere long before I cough up 200k for a singular elk tag to hunt by myself.

Pretty sure he does that too, (don't know who he is, just guessing) but yeah, that’s a better plan.

Well good for the successful bidder but I am still opposed to our wildlife being auctioned off like prized livestock and awarded as lottery prizes in the raffle.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.

Yep and the rich don’t care how much it costs to shoot record bulls on property in theirs or their friends HOA. With a “low fence”
