When I was younger I put off things a lot because of money. I missed out on some great times and nowdays I make sure if i can swing it I am there. For the money you are talking about I would definitely go since there is much more value hunting with your friends then $300.

Yep.   :D  

My family went through some hard times for awhile when I was a kid. For a time we had hamhocks and navy beans for dinner several times a week. For some reason my mom felt pretty bad about that. But I certainly didn't share her feelings on that food. I mean I loved the stuff - and still do.

When one reads the writings of an earlier generation of bowhunters, like Chet Stevenson and others, one knows that activities like bowhunting didn't stop because of hard economic times. My father and grandfathers lived through the Great Depression of the 1930's and all of them hunted during that era. And what we are experiencing today is not anywhere near on the order of economic hardship of what that earlier generation faced 70 years ago.

"Nope. My family is used to bologna."

Ha! Nothing builds character like fried bologna sandwiches.....except maybe cold meatloaf with mustard on Wonderbread!

My wife and I have been well off, dirt poor, and in the middle. The truth is, our best times were when we had to scramble a bit to feed the kids.

Rooselk, we were what would now be called poor when I was growing up. Seemed sometimes we lived on fried taters and beans and cornbread. I told myself I would never eat them again. Now that I'm older and wiser they sound terribly good to me.Mmmm!

Rodge I already work a rediculous amount of the time.  I do fine.  It is just that when do you call money extra money unless you have a million dollars in the bank you never feel secure.  I'm at the computer because that is what I do on my breaks at work.  I work by myself and am happy to call the people here at tradgang my friends at work.  I have worked hard all my life so please don't get the wrong ides.  Maybe it is just my thin skin but I felt I need to clarify.  I'm not being hostile just defensive.  It does not matter any way I'm going to go.  I love hunting hogs with friends to much to miss out.

I agree that the economic situation is uncertain. Just today I have lost my 2nd automotive job in 18 months. No regrets here as I have already done everything in my life, I ever wanted to do, except go on a big out of state hunt. With that being said, I will now contribute a little bit to the economic decline by not building a new barn this year. It’s the domino effect. If you don' spend that $300 someone else will suffer a little tiny bit. JMO

This is the problem when we trade time for money though unltimately. You can't have both at the same time. It sucks. Like I say I have been trying like many do to try to find ways to make a residual income along with my regular income.

The key to wealth is making money while you sleep and we could all use a little more sleep.

In my original post I was told I was bordering on being some kinda salesman on this site and that wasn't my intent and I appologised and retracted my post...well most of it.

My problem is I am trying to make a difference. My dad always told me if I couldn't anything nice then keep your mouth shut....still it's hard to keep mine shut when I think I can open ppls eyes to more possibilities.

I hate how ppl have to struggle (me included) day to day paycheck to paycheck and always be worried about income and their jobs.

I have that with my kids and it hurts. My dad knew a job and a job only. I was shown another way and I was trying to open my kids eyes to other possibilities too.

Anyway I hope you go on your hunt and my offer is still on the table. Just make sure you get some video and pics for us ok

Mo. Huntin - I wasn't insinuating anything about you personally. I was "ranting" in general terms. Don't take my comments negatively.

I hope you make plans to go on your hunt.

As I reread it Roger I thought I may have possibly misunderstood but I had already posted.  No worries.
