I too, have ZERO desire to be working at 65 so here's a question. How much do you guys think one would need to have in their 401K to retire at somewhere between 55-60? The healthcare insurance one would have to cover for themselves at that age is obviously a big challenge for most since one will have to pay thru the nose for private coverage. Way worse if you need family coverage. If one lives modestly (and I always have) would $1M in your 401K be enough to get you thru the rest of your life with the SS you'd eventually and hopefully be entitled to added in?

Despite all the naysayers regarding the Remington 7400 in my experience they do work. They will kill deer if you do your part just like any other firearm will. The ones that don't function properly have most likely been neglected in one way or the other. What some might think is good gun care may not be good gun care to others. With that said, there is NO way that I would pay the type of prices being asked for the Remington OR the Browning. Get yourself a bolt action rifle and be done with it. They will be less fussy, cost less, generally be more accurate, likely lighter in weight, and will last you forever. I just don't see any advantage to a gun like the Remington 7400 or the Browning BAR over a good bolt action. Plenty of bolt actions to be had in .243 caliber, too. To be paying $1500 or more for something like the new version Browning BAR, a gun with an aluminum receiver is silly in my honest opinion. No way aluminum will hold your scope set up as solidly as steel will. At least the old BAR's were solid steel like the Remington's are as well. My .02 cents on the matter.

I have this Cabelas brand blind. Plenty of room for two people, even a third would fit. Have it 3 years now and the only complaint is folding it back up. You'll be doing some cussing trying to take it down but if you have an extra two hands like I do with my son along it won't be too bad. It was on sale for $99 when I bought it and I actually got it for free with my Cabelas points so definitely a good deal. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/cabelas-the-zonz-hub-ground-blind

No, it's not papsmear. More likely Mr VJP/Rattler. Go back and check. Rattler left with fanfare on 8/11/20 and Grouse's diarrhea started on 9/6/20 and hasn't stopped since. He was signed up and made sporadic posts on the forum since 2012 but no reason one person can't have different accounts via different devices.

Who the hell is more demeaning on this forum than Grouse?? I can't think of anyone. He thinks he knows it all and thinks he has all the "facts" and anyone who might have a different view is immediately accused of being a lefty. He is full of $hit and full of himself and nothing more (how is that for being demeaning?). I can guarantee you that he is one of the biggest reasons that the traffic on this forum is getting less and less. People are tired of constantly seeing his bull$hit posts around here.

Finally figured out why Bill's pictures are never right side up. He waits for the turkeys by hanging upside down from a tree limb. I guess the turkey's think he's a bat and pay him no mind. LOL

What turns my stomach is that some people here (maybe jokingly, I don't know for sure) are implying that they will get themselves a fake, forged vaccination card and go around using it as proof that they were vaccinated when they in fact weren't. That is quite sick in my opinion. If you don't want to get vaccinated, then don't, but don't go around pretending that you were.

It takes one to know one, so you surely would know.

I don't understand why someone would want to hunt with a caliber that is considered a minimum for big game. Many states don't allow anything smaller than a .243 for big game hunting. Not like we can expect a youngster to make that perfect shot so why give them a gun that is towards the bottom of the list of adequate calibers? Lots of better calibers out there and I honestly don't think the recoil of something like a 7mm-08 or even a .308 is anything a 12 year old can't handle. There are even reduced recoil loads available for cartridges like the .270 and .30-06. If you handload you can make any cartridge to generate less recoil. If kids can be knocked around on a soccer or football field they can easily take the recoil of a rifle. Here is an article I tend to agree with. Sure, the .243 will kill a deer, but his opinion is that it's more suited for the hands of an expert shot and thinks there are better options for the beginner. https://www.craigboddington.com/endorsed-outfitters/hunting-tips/best-beginners

Do you know for a fact that you will be keeping this same job for the rest of your life? Companies get bought out, can change policies or go south in a blink of an eye. NO guarantees that things will remain the same forever.

Don't be too sure about that. If you think employers like paying people to not show up to work, I've got some news for you. Lots of people moved to different states thinking they'd never have to return to the office again. My office is expecting them back at least 3 days a week for starters and then full time once 100% office capacity is allowed. The best they can hope for is that one day work from home they that they've were entitled to pre-COVID. If humanity thinks they will just be sitting on their tuffs at home with their feet in the air, or mowing lawns, doing house chores during the work day for the rest of their lives and still be getting a full paycheck they are in for a rude awakening. It's only a matter of time.

I would agree with you 100% that if people would keep out of trouble and not hang around low life they wouldn't be caught in these type of situations, but they had Floyd cuffed and face down. How was he resisting at that point?? Did it require kneeling on his neck for another 8 minutes?? Hell no. This idiot cop let the whole world witness it on video. I guess only some of you here see it completely different than everyone else who is being totally honest about what they saw. Chauvin will be going to jail if for NO other reason than to help repair the image of police. They already have so much going against them. They are being defunded, disrespected, spat on, etc. The last thing they need is this idiot cop to walk scott free here to make things even worse for them. Anyone can make a mistake, but what this cop did was NO mistake. It wasn't like this was a quick life and death decision (shoot or not to shoot) for the cop to make. They had him face down and cuffed. He was apprehended and the situation was under control.

Floyd was far from the Saint that the media and black American's have portrayed him to be, but how anyone can say that the cop wasn't wrong for kneeling on him for that long be it on the neck or shoulders?? He was face down and cuffed. Do you think he could have sprang up to his feet instantly and started kicking the cops or running away? No way. Guilty verdict for sure. Bad decision or being distracted by his surroundings will not get him off the hook here.

Some of us aren't as selfish as you and a number of others on this forum. YOU may be one to only get a loss of taste and smell and a fever but you may unknowingly spread it to someone else who may have some underlying medical issues and that person may very well get seriously sick or die. We all have someone in our lives who is up in age or has some medical issues. I will do what I have to to not be the one spreading this virus to someone that it may effect seriously. I have never gotten a flu shot in my life but I feel the responsible thing to do here is to get ourselves vaccinated. I am honestly sick and tired of listening to some of you clowns here. You think wearing a mask is against your constitutional rights, you are against getting vaccinated and then you think we are the idiots for doing the responsible thing?? Unbelievable!!

You need to have your wife check for a pulse, Wolc. You may have died and gone to heaven on this trip. Also, be sure that your wife doesn't read these posts you've made here because you surely won't have a pulse once she gets thru with you. LOL

Yeah, we can tell that your eyeballs were giving her a thorough examination. Maybe there are other reasons you like eating those deer testicles that you never told us about. Wolc?? LOL

I'll say that certainly was a racy story coming from Wolc. I had to double check to make sure it was he who made this post. Just think. In that past he's told us that the good Lord guides his bullets to hit deer and here in this story he almost joins the Mile High club. LOL

My guess is Mr VJP/Rattler. No way to prove it of course, but they sound like the same animal to me. VJP/Rattler/Grouse were all fans of Kimber rifles so that is one clue. I once asked Rattler if he was Mr VJP when he said that he was originally from eastern Europe and he said that they were second cousins. LOL. Yeah right!

You are an arrogant A-hole and not much more. You constantly post BS on this site and think you know more than anyone else and this is your reply to a legitimate question from a respected forum member?? If you don't want to answer questions to what you've posted then maybe you shouldn't post this BS. I would think this is easy enough for anyone to understand.

That's because Taiwan and most of the oriental nations don't have a problem being told to wear a mask. They've worn masks for years. If a person has a cold or flu they wear masks not to expose others. You tell Americans to wear a mask and many start having a shit fit that their constitutional rights are being violated and all that nonsense. Where is the attitude for what might be best for the good of the country? I often think that if we had the same selfish mentality shown by many on both the right and the left the world would have been taken over by the Axis powers in WWII. No such selfishness was shown by Americans living in that era. They did what was best for our country and the world.

Didn't Trump open unrestricted entry from Europe and Brazil just before he left office? What kind of sense did that make? New variants of the virus were cropping up and he is allowing everyone in? It makes me sick how one side blames the other when neither knows what the hell they are doing.

What more proof do you need that guns are a "God given right"? Moses even became the NRA president in his later years.

I think you guys didn't see any deer because that Santa puppet was talking a bit too much!
