This is a recent post I place on some social media platforms. I thought I'd do it in the hunting and fishing forums.
I actually trust these two communities the most! Please pass on if you know someone!

Our family is looking for a home health caregiver for our senior mother. She is 91, has dementia, limited mobility, but does have her good and bad moments. One moment she is laughing and talking, quite aware of her surroundings, then the next, the dementia moments kick in, (details will be discussed later). We are located in Nevada, Texas, and in the house is/are myself, my brother and both our parents. My dad has limitations as well, but no dementia. We would like to speak with interested caregivers who live within 10-30 minutes away, "experienced and compassionate," and who have reliable transportation. It will be a full-time 40-hour work week, and again, details will be discussed and worked out upon full interviews. My brother will make the final decision after the interview process. If interested, please "PRIVATE MESSAGE" your contact information. An initial phone call discussion will take place with one of us, we'll ask questions and you will ask yours. Thanks, all the best to you and yours. Blessings To ALL! +++

Addendum: Light household chores and cooking is part of the job. Thanks again!

Addendum II: If you KNOW caregivers looking for employment near the Nevada, Texas area, please pass on the information.

Other than feeding protein and letting young bucks walk, one thing that is often overlooked is fertilizing the browse species that deer use. One bag of triple 13 goes a long way spot treating. It increases the nutrition of the browse and also makes it taste better to the deer. When the deer are healthy they can better grow to their genetic potential.

Was told this was a valuable decoy but talk is cheap these days.

Wondering if anyone can make out who signed this.

Is he/she a word famous duck carver?

There have been many, most of you would not believe. I think it’s purely a stroke of good luck, and probably some divine intervention, that I did not die or go to prison a long time ago.

I have had a few bad jumps. One time I refused to pop my reserve with a squid, I kicked and kicked and kicked and my chute opened up about when I should have started pulling my slip. About the time I got my chute packed the medics swarmed me, apparently everybody assumed i was in critical condition. But I was ok.

Probably the worst one, I don’t remember all the details other than somebody screaming at me and grabbing at me. I was like wtf do you want? Finally he calmed down and tried to tell me to pull my canopy release and i was like bro, I got this, i am not stupid. It took me a minute to realize i got knocked out and I was being dragged. He was completely gassed out, sprinting next to me, trying to help me. Wind dragged me a long way.

Apparently we had a hard gust of wind and i got knocked all the way tf out when i landed. I thought I was ok though, popped my canopy release and packed my chute, ran to the assembly point. The JM kept asking us if anyone has any issues or wanted to see the doc. Typical brief but he kept repeating himself looking right at me i am like bro i am good. I guess the adrenaline never wore off.

When I got home I had the stereotype TBI symptoms, black eyes no other bruising on the head or face lol. Nasty headache lasted for a couple of weeks.

I had to do a 12 miler like tuesday or wednesday, and i never went to the doc. In part due to peer pressure not gonna lie, I knew I would get railroaded as a promotable E5 in sick call.

But I haven’t been the same since.

they already did it in oregon. did not go well.

The truck is pretty much finished. I weighed the whole thing and it is very heavy.
The factory truck weighs 5800#s(I weighed it and it matches specs.)
Now after all the added stuff I weighed it again at 8400#s.
I will add another 600# or so and then with me inside it will be up to about 9200# on an everyday basis.
The max its rated for is 8600#(GVWR.) Ive been told the ratings in reality have a pretty big cushion. So Ive added 3400# which is 600# over the max rating.
My mechanic looked at it and says it doesnt sit down much at all so we have not yet beefed up the suspension in any way. He said if I did he would put heavy duty shocks, likely air shocks, or maybe air bags or an extra spring.
It rides fine but it feels like its pulling a trailer at all times.
Consider its for ranch road type use 95% of time and tell me if yall think I am good to go or if the weight will be an issue.

There is pretty good deer out there but its pretty dang remote. Its tough with the short season since it takes a few days just to learn the country and get into deer. Its not hunted near as hard as the surrounding units.

Sad to hear. I wanted to hunt that place for a long time. The prairie will rebound with some rains, animals will take a while.

The land is still available.
I'm sure we can work out a THF discount if one of y'all are interested.
Thanks!

What percentage draw hunts are you putting in for?? Man there are bulls to be had hate to hear you have had to wait that long. My uncle is a new mexico resident and he also is not successful very often, but he puts in for difficult to draw units...There has to be some opportunity units you could draw with NM residency?

What's in the bag? Callaway Steelhead XR irons with graphite shafts regular flex, Callaway XR Driver and fairway woods, Odyssey White Hot Rossie putter.

This is actually a great point that i didn't really think about, but probably should have.



I think i'd like to officially change my answer again to 300wsm. I guess that just means in this hypothetic that I will have be an expert reloader. I'm totally fine with that.

Good eye, I didn't really look at the sign's map. I had yesterday afternoon off and wanted to go play with my livescope setup so I ran out there. Did a lot of exploring. I did fish a spot way back through some dense timber that I'm 99.9% no boat had been in before. 3" of water getting in, that was kinda cool. As of now there is no way to get all the way down south anyway. BD creek is chalked full of log jams. You can run to the power lines on the north/west shoreline and can get a bit south from there, but nowhere near the actual wetland area. If it stays like that the duck hunting will be a bust. That lake is in hilly terrain so there are only 2 or 3 spots in the hunting area that had a flat. Not near enough room to mess with. Maybe things will change before fall as the timber dies or maybe some really dedicated guys will go in there with chainsaws and ropes and clear the way. After seeing a cottonmouth as big as my forearm chillin' on a log I was about the hop I turned back around. It's literally miles of backup and canopy. There is one possible route that I found off the creek, but there's a hundred yard stretch or so that would need to be cleared better and I was running out of daylight. I did see a beaver along the creek so fat my first thought was I saw a hog out the corner of my eye.

Amen

yes. I know who they worship

A former classmate of mine is the President of Shawnee Milling Company, which manufactures Hi-Point.

THIS^^ Really wish I had gotten the Omega 9K. I have the Octane 45K and have ran it on CZ Scorpion, Glock 9mm's, and 1911's never a hiccup but it is LOUD, louder than my suppressed 10.5" 5.56 at least to my ear anyway.

You forgot "don't" .....LOL

I'm with you 68A, make sure to pack a Cajun recipe book too. I don't think we'll be eating mule deer and elk much, more likely raccoons, possum, water snakes, grackles, turtles, etc. Snare wire would be a key item. A good fishing pole would be hard to beat too, and a net. I guess it all depends on where you are though and what the specific scenario is. Short term but violent scenario vs EOTWAWKI etc.

Sometimes even the chaplin has a dark sense of humor. Imagine if your pastor struggled to stop saying the f-word

It’s much easier on the internet, because typing is so deliberate and you can delete before you post.

We've killed 6 more over the past 2 weekends = 178
