    So if anybody wants a nice reminder of how lucky all of us are to be hunters you should swing by the grocery and walk down the meat aisle. In my area regular ribeyes that aren’t even “behind the counter” grade just crossed the $40/pound threshold and a pound of 70/30 hamburger will set you back $10.

    $5.49 is a deal. That’s cheap enough to almost justify renting a reefer truck and starting a interstate hamburger smuggling business.

    In fact, it’s so damn hot here that opening the windows weren’t helping. I had to stick a fan in the window to get it below 75 degrees (I am a bit of a cheap scape and I refuse to switch the thermostat from fetus back to air conditioning after mid October)

    If you are talking about changing residency then you might wanna consider purchasing a lifetime hunting license before you do.

    If you think there is a decent chance you will hunt in that state more than once or twice in the future then it might be worthwhile. In most states a lifetime resident hunting license is usually about the same price as 2-3 non-resident annual licenses and as long as you get it while you are a resident, it will usually still remain valid even after you move out of state and become a non-resident.

    I’ve got my VA and NC lifetime and its totally worth it (although I currently still live in NC so I would only pay cheaper resident fees, but even then it’s still a pretty good bargain and if I ever move then it’ll be a really great deal)

    Virginia lifetime hunting license: $265
    Virginia non-resident annual hunting license:$111

    NC lifetime sportsman license (includes big game privileges): $265
    NC non-resident annual license + big game privilege: $100+$100=$200 total

    A deluge of rain is about to hit here. Well it's suppose to stop a couple hours before daylight, so I'm going to find myself in the tree tomorrow morning. Anyone else out there with me tomorrow?

    Guys, just giving you all a heads up. Fish may be absent for awhile. His wife has suddenly been hospitalized with a life threatening illness. Let's give him our prayers and send him encouragement. I don't know you guys personally, but we all seem like a great bunch of guys here. Thanks for being a great team!

    Dang, that sucks. We need a win team. I know I don't really feel right about talking about putting a deer down, but we need a win. We've had bad news at one point or another from just about all of us. Time for a win and some good news for once. Prayers to you all and best wishes and for those of us who can get out and hunt, good luck. Let's give this team a lift and win in more ways than one!!!!!
