The problem is that any politician who even mentions the words "social security modification" risks political suicide. None of them have the spine to even consider tackling the problem.

Hate to put a damper on SS but it's going to be insolvent in about 7 years unless something drastic is done about it. I still have about 20 years or so in the workforce and my financial planner doesn't even include it anymore in long term projections.

Purina One Large Breed The type/brand of dog food you select should be readily available either locally or shipped. Constantly switching back and forth from one or the other is not good for the digestive track. Also, read the label.

I was going to mention barbed wire but then I thought that it isn't "natural." haha

Cattail ice has send me in knee to waist deep more than once. So now I just wait until it freezes like concrete in December to venture in there. I've never felt that it was life-threatening when I stepped through, but it ruined my day pretty quick.

I may need to but last time I was there, I was not impressed with the stuff for sale

Sadly, I have struck out on locating a new vest. I've been to Scheels, Cabela's, and Fleet Farm. All three had paltry selections. It might simply be a bad time of year to locate one. Or it could be that upland hunting is so low in popularity that they don't feel the need to keep any stock on...

I think arsenic might be the least of your worries if you are downing a whole bag of licorice. There is really no nutritional value from candy, period. It's loaded with artificial sugar which just gives you a quick "high" but offers nothing in terms of longer term health or energy. Not saying...

This is me too. Rarely am I hunting a spot that is not within sight of my truck. At most, each spot takes about an hour, usually less. And I also do not hunt when it's hot out anymore either. I prefer 50 degrees or less.

I can confirm this as a very large, public hunting location for ruffs and woodcock. I deer hunted there for 27 years. Get off the trails and logging roads. Get into the thick of it. You will encounter way more birds that way. Walker, MN is probably the nearest sizable town with lodging.

Good riddance

I have never been checked while hunting, ever. Over 30 years deer hunting, 25 years upland hunting, 20 years waterfowl hunting, and 15 years spring turkey hunting. Literally, not once. And until last April, I also never been checked while fishing either. That's also 25 years. Finally ran...

This is arguably more important than the hunting part. Hunting only represents a small portion of the overall amount of time with the dog. The rest of the year is something you will be dealing with outside that realm. You could have a hunting machine but during non-hunting days the dog might...

Males tend to be more aggressive than females do. Not saying they're all like that but that's generally the case. Females do generally cost more than a male does.

I had -41 wind chill on Friday. Air temp was -21. Coldest day in 7 years. I hunted virtually the entire season from mid November through December in deep snow and it mostly sucked. If you're just getting snow now, consider yourself lucky.

Waterfowl hunting has been in decline here in MN for a decade. I used to be an avid waterfowl hunter myself for about 20 years. The birds just aren't there anymore, and the migratory pattern has shifted west. Plus add in constant drought and warmer falls, well, you get the point. It's kind...

RIP Bree.

That's what central MN has looked like since before Thanksgiving. Except the dog would fall right through to the bottom of it with each step.

I was expecting to see a giant retail store of shotguns, ammo, vests, boots, and other upland related items when I went. It was nothing like that. The show is not really designed or built that way. At least it wasn’t when I went a few years ago.

I did that a few years ago and was not impressed with the products there. The event is not really designed to be a "flea market" with related products like that. I think you'd be better off going to another sports show like the Northwest one or similar if you wanted to specifically go for...
