    Let's Talk Home & Auto Insurance Companies

    I had a nightmare experience with Farmers in 2020. In February 2020 a heroin junky in a 3/4 ton truck with no insurance fell asleep driving, and rear ended me at a stop light. He was probably going 40mph. I had a 2 month old Toyota Tacoma. My policy had new car replacement. If your new car gets...

    Let's Talk Home & Auto Insurance Companies

    I just went through changing companies last year. I was with Farmers for a long time. I got the car insurance renewal for my wife and I, and It had gone way up. I checked on my two home policies, and they had gone up significantly as well. A broker was able to shop around, and get us new...

    How to find meat haulers

    From my experience in the different states I have hunted, this is nearly impossible. Typically, they have to be a licensed guide/outfitter to pack meat. They are really busy guiding clients, and or doing drop camps. During the hunting season, it’s really tuff to find one that isn’t too busy...

    Success rate by weapon choice as a function of advancing technology

    I started archery hunting somewhere around 2004. I don’t think I have seen any technology changes in archery since I started that would lead to any higher success.

    Nature Conservancy and the Western Solar Project

    If this is the same nature conservancy, this Oregon one is definitely not open to hunting. They also closed it to all public access for a couple years for “Covid” ! https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/cascade-head/

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    I don’t see this hurting me anytime SOON. That’s the key word. All these new rules are already changing what the car makers are building. That’s why you are seeing the uptick in hybrid trucks and SUV’s in my opinion. Toyota has done a great job building hybrid vehicles in the past, so that...

    CA fatal lion attack

    Prop 117, that banned mountain lion hunting passed in 1990. Like lots of other laws, it passed by a pretty slim margin.

    Bitcoin

    When I first started watching different crypto, I always thought the big money could be made basically day trading it. It has such big swings up and down, but you couldn’t get in and out fast enough. I was thinking that was the reason these ETF’s were created, so the big Wall Street firms with...

    People see things differently. Your’s make me think “buy now, I can’t loose” The one I posted makes me think” buy the next 30-50 percent dip, I missed my chance” I shouldn’t have said “more honest” when comparing the two. I didn’t mean that as an insult to you. I apologize Just posting a...

    That chart you posted sure appears to smooth out the bumps in the road. Here is a chart set up a little differently. A little more honest depiction of price history in my opinion.

    I’m curious how many guys are playing with “real money” on this thread. All through Covid everyone was a winner on stock picks. Then reality set in. I was surprised see how many of the people that posted often on the Rokslide stock traders thread didn’t really have much invested. Multiple...
