STRESSED OUT!!!!!
« on: August 08, 2008, 11:52:00 PM »
BILLS BILLS BILLS...

I don't know If I can pull off my moose hunt.  All this stress is causing my shots to widen.  I can make 80% of my shots @ 30 yards.  

I don't know if I can pull off my moose hunt on the 31st.  Gas is $7 a gallon where I'm going to.  And Im going to need at least 35 gallons for my destination.  Please help calm me down.

And on top of things, there is this young woman I really wanna buy dinner for, but I don't have the money.  

What ya think, should I cancel my once and a lifetime first trad kill for the love of my life or go the distance and get a moose with trad equipment?

I'll find out tomorrow on Sat. the 9th, maybe I'll just say I'll call her or something.

Grr... choices choices.  This is the perfect girl for me; Alaskan, a Commercial Pilot, and drop dead gorgeous.  I've been dreaming of becoming a Commercial Pilot for years. (I'm a ramper at an airlines atm but I do got my private pilot's license.)

Help me out, give me advise   :notworthy: .

Can you fill up you vehicle and get together some extra 5 gallon gas cans from your buddies?  Might be able to shave some off.
If you are going to be so tight it's miserable on this hunt then why go.  On the other hand if you can make it happen DO It.  If you think she's the one it would be better to know now if a little hunting trip is gonna be an issue instead of fighting about it for the rest of your life.

agree with bear heart...go on the trip.  if you you are going to be with her long-term, its best to know how she will react to the trip now vs. later.  she'll be around when you get back!

Hunting trip for sure!  If it will work out now with the girl, it will work out later as well.  Go get the moose!

Thanks guys, you guys are second to none.  I'll let you guys know tomorrow about my hunt.  

But this girl is worth it.  She'll be here flying hopefully.  And I'll be back to load and fuel her planes   :archer: .

Pray for me.

Sounds like you're on the hunt. Trust me, flip a coin. If it lands either heads or tails, go for the moose!

I would go hunting for the moose because, like mod10g, I live in Oklahoma where there are lots of good looking women but no moose. How long is this hunt going to last -- like a week or two? Is the girl not going to wait that long for you? It's not like you are joining the foreign legion or something. Any relationship that will be killed by a moose hunt is not going to last anyway, so go on the hunt and resume the relationship after that dreaded week or two of being apart. Man, you are whipped!

If she's worth your time and effort, she'll be there waiting for you when you get back.  If she isn't, find a new one.  Go on the hunt.  Charge the gas...you WILL pay it back.

You just asked a bunch of hunters if you should hunt or not. And a moose trip on top of that! Grab your bow

kill the moose and take the tenderloins and make a killer meal for her when you get back.You cant get moose tenerloins at the restuarant.Throw all the fixings in.You know  a good bottle of wine and some aspargus in cream sauce,musrooms with the tenderloins or something.

She will be impressed with what a fine hunter you are.Thier preprogrammed that way from way back you know LOL.You can kill 2 birds with one stone.

If that doesnt work dont blame me.At least you went moose hunting.

good luck!
