Both of my kids were top in their high school class and received the max academic scholarship from Nicholls State. They both also receive TOPS, they live on campus in a dorm which is semi private. After the scholarships and TOPS we are still paying about $3200 per semester.

Mine plays travel baseball but also Biddy Basketball and a tackle football league in the fall. He just turned 9 but alot of you have the misconception we all spend lots of money and play all year. That is not true as all of our tournaments are within 2 hours of our house and we play 8 tournaments in the spring. We do not play in the fall so that the kids can also play basketball and football. It doesnt cost me a fortune as alot of people say and we will not buy a single hotel or go out of state. He will even play rec ball but miss some games so he can play with his friends on the all star team. We do practice every other week in the fall on a Sunday so it keeps them sharp and their skills up a bit.
What travel ball does give them is the chance to be on a team where they are probably not the best kid like rec ball. I had people that played college tell me that you should never be on a team or a league where you are the best player as nothing will drive you to improve and I think that was some pretty good advice.

What I think everyone doesnt realize is with the huge price increases in chicken feed you wont be coming out ahead. A good bag of layer feed that was $7 or so 15 years ago is not over $25.

I just can't understand the failure to use lose and loose properly I see daily.

This woman looks like she has just about overdosed on Botox. Nothing moves.

I find the opposite. The deer on our property bordering the Atchafalaya Basin will be all over the place up and feeding with the cold weather. The most deer I have ever seen and killed good bucks was with sleet or ice and afternoon temps in the 20's. I plan to sit in the stand all day on Monday and Tuesday.

Yeah, sorry I brought my children last month to a place they absolutely enjoyed riding rollercoasters, watching performances and just being kids bothered you so much. You know what while they are still under my roof I will spend my money however I see fit that allows us to have time all together not worrying about all the crap going on in the world as a family. I bet mine will remember the time with their parents at Disney 50 years from now as a great time they wish they had back versus whatever you did that week. :doublebird:

I believe the most of got off of one was a 213 pound buck last year had 72 pounds including backstraps. Now I do debone between all the ribs also but how much damage you have from blood clotting does impact the total but somewhere around a third seems right on a deer that has been shot with a clean pass through on ribs.

My wife will come sit in the deer stand with me if it isn't raining or freezing cold but most of the time I will have one of the kids with me. As you said every time I go fishing she will be in the boat.

Easy to fix though, don't live in a neighborhood. Strange what sets people off.
