Ive wondered the same thing and haven’t found a source for quality garden hand tools like shovels.
Pretty much this. And it is totally irrelevant whether it’s some orchestrated conspiracy or just inherent to what these people (Hollywood) believe.

Nothing if you’re baiting. You’re subsidizing their very existence.
Fair question. But camo is the warmest and most scent free clothing I own.

Timber co lease, fertile soil, and milder hills near Alcorn. Thinnings every 8-10 yrs. Burning and baiting strictly prohibited.

No one will convince me that bait can’t overcome most other inadequacies. We did everything better than our neighbors, just didn’t bait. They’d kill 2 150s on 200 acres and we wouldn’t even have a nighttime photo of anything over 125”. I have my own place in Wilkinson cty now and I’m so far repeating these same results.
Tee-total waste of money whether they work or not. So do your eyes.

Between 2 hunters, you saw 250 deer hunting in the woods and killed a 155”. Your lease is outstanding.

My dad and I had 400 acres of hardwoods to ourself just across the line in Jefferson cty that I gave up last year. What you described was about 4-5 years of hunting for that place. And in 30 years we never topped 150”.
Both sociopathic for sure. Kiffin goes about it in a more sinister withdrawn way, while Louisiana is much more overt and takes more of a “whatcha gonna do about it” approach.

None of which are qualities generally considered honorable … but never not entertaining and perfect theater for today’s shallow society.

This. I’ve consolidated to 223Rem and 308Win for centerfires. Don’t touch anything else. Bullets matter, headstamps dont.
You can upgrade to a 5k axle on the single pretty easy.

Ok. So are you selling because you’re spooked by all the things you listed in the OP or because your picks have peaked? You’ve provided both reasons as well as implying you’re trying to make good on a timing bet. You’ll get different answers depending on the real motivation.

What are the stocks? And what will you use the proceeds for?
Attempting to time the market is only discouraged for retirement accts?

I don’t know much about what land is available out there. What I’ve seen offered cheaper than land in the South is flat and dry. For land like that, 1000 acres is tiny when there are only 2 trees on it.
My passion is timberland and agricultural real estate. I’d quit my W2 tomorrow if you could guarantee me half my current salary in that line of work. I honestly think I could be successful at it, but I’m squarely mid-career and the golden handcuffs are real.
So an entry level mechanic should be able to afford 2 new vehicles? When has that ever been the case?
It’s rare I see a lone doe. Doubt I could meet my quota if I followed this protocol.

Just how special do you think you are? Obviously YOU are buying the truck.
I’m here to tell you, human scent in the woods is more impactful to deer than hounds.
Absolutely. And when baiting is used on private land, the effect of human intrusion on deer behavior is magnified. Deer get trained to be nocturnal very fast.
