I have a ebrelstock and have used it to pack out several deer. It’s over 10-12yrs old and is still in great shape.
Tikka t3 308- mule deer buck
Beggara 6.5cr- whitetail doe
Beggarra 6.5cr -boar hog
Thermacell- 1500 mosquitoes

Y'all make me sick with these ultras. A 14 mile long run when I was prepping for a half made me question why anyone would do even a marathon

Don’t try to run it at 6-7 min pace and it don’t make you sick lol.
I bought a browing buckmark in 1992
When i turned 16 my dad had said he wouldn’t let me get a pistol till i turned 18 but slid it to 16 since it was a 22.
It is one of the most shootable guns I own and I have shot probably 10k rounds through it you can get them with threaded barrels now and I will probably end up buying a aftermarket barrel for it once I get a suppressor.
2 miles of intervals at 10:20 pace
Best pace was a 4:52 I’m sure it was only for a few strides lol.
Didn’t have enough time to slog out a long run so figured I would get in some kind of work.

I have a green mountain bull barrel and a butler creek on mine with a Cabela’s brand rimfire specific scope on it that has adjustable turrets. It’s a tack driver and the only thing I dislike somewhat is the stock trigger.
I will probably get a tikka or begarra bolt 22 just because of how much quieter bolt guns are with a suppressor and subs, plan to get a suppressor as soon as the buying frenzy ends.
I will make sure that my next scope has a stadi style retical that way I can zero at 50yd for high velocity and then just memorize what hash mark is needed for the appropriate sub sonic.

this your Z2 pacing? You post pretty consistent pacing in your runs.

10-11 is that 5 mile run average Hr was 127. I have been just focusing on long easy runs just trying to get the volume.
Plan to run a few 5ks this summer and will get to some conventional training with some speed work in it.
Yeah I have sbe2 it’s probably almost 20yrs old now and it’s probably had less than 20 3.5s through it. I would never buy another 3.5 but since it’s left handed I will not try to really replace where it fits in the rotation of guns I use.
3.5s are like 60# of recoil on par with 458s and 500 safari rifles.
Shoot a 3.5 12 or 10ga in a pump gun and it will make you rethink if you really hate animals enough to kill them.

miler is my least favorite ultra distance. I'd rather do a 100 than that distance. nowadays i mostly just do 50ks, it's enough to push me but i don't hate life after

Yeah not sure if I will continue doing them or not but definitely want to finish one especially since I failed that attempt.

6miles today 11:30 pace

I use Ryobi. My brother Is a mechanic he uses Milwaukee.
I have never been disappointed with ryobi and I have a bunch of peices the small one handed chainsaw is my favorite and gets used the most.
I never want to work enough to need more than Ryobi.
4m walk run at 13:40 pace, felt like summer is here early!!!
3 mile walk today with a mix of a few mins of jogging throughout. Legs stiff but no ITB pain so grateful for that, gonna take it slow all week.

pulled out 2 packs of ground meat, seasoned and loaded it onto racks using the jerky gun. Stuck it in the pellet grill for 3.5 hrs. Pretty easy for jerky/snack sticks

Yeah I guess a jerky gun would be about the same, I was just talking about stuffing and twisting all the snack stick casings or running 6 pounds of meat through a jerky cutter then marinating and all that.
Summer sausage can be mixed with seasoning ground and straight to a couple tubes.
Summer sausage is very easy to make with a pellet grill or smoker. Way less work involved than jerky or burritos or snack sticks.
30 miles yesterday was supposed to be a 50 miler but I tapped out.
The last 5 miles I was struggling and barely able to run and my math had me missing the cutoff.
I misjudged the terrain and ran my first 10mile loop too fast 11-12min miles and paid for it on the back end. Having only run a 50k and two marathons before it’s deceiving how much running you have left after 30 miles. Nutrition was not an issue so back to the drawing board and I have the rest of the year to get a 50 miler in my 50th year.
If they have an opening there is normally a reason why!!!
That being said area 4 deer hunters on Facebook has several people posting openings in clubs every year. You may be able to land a spot and begin high grading and looking for another.

took a company-mandated sabbatical, only to be laid off while I was on it.

Dang man that sucks, but almost everyone I know that gets laid off ends up coming out ahead in the end. Me an a buddy were just talking today about wise eye cameras and trying them based on one of our other buddies have good luck with them so far.

Talk me out of buying land in the Arkansas Ozarks

You want to move there? Or just recreational property?
I was wanting to buy some recreational property for the longest time but here’s where I have ended up.
-Any piece cheap enough to buy is probably far away from your current residence and won’t be used much.
- cost for utilities (electric, water and a access road) can be extremely expensive.
- cost for a simple cabin and having to take care of a secondary property becomes a regular chore requiring trips to the property even when not being used for recreation.
- all the blood sweat and tears of taking care of the place will probably not be appreciated by my kids and they will not use it due to how far it is from their residence and only sold when I pass.

Just take the money you planned on spending 50-100k and invest it and use it to make a lot of trips to that area and get a vrbo!! You said to convince you not to!!!
