What do you define as rich?

I've spoken about it before but some of the fires that happened in Arizona were places we were trying to work on and got kicked out by the environmentalists. Could have saved some property if allowed to finish

You can't fix dogmatic stupidity. More environmental preservation/development dollars and species preservation funds come from hunting licenses than any other source. Too many so called environmentalists have watched Bambi several times too many.

Here's an honest question. Why do you hunt? Do you get satisfaction from it? I personally don't understand hunting an animal that can't shoot back. I would be more inclined to hunt if a deer was armed but the fact is Bambi isn't firing back. Best she can do is run. Help me understand the thrill.

The thrill is in the hunt. For deer, it is working to find a good deer, having the patience to wait for the opportunity, the knowledge and awareness necessary to pick up its movement and the ability to pass up a shot that isn't worth taking.

They taste good too.

For ducks, it is a whole different ball game. If you are where the ducks want to be, you will shoot ducks. If you are not, you have to lure them to you. Your decoys, calling and preparedness is crucial.

They also taste good... wrapped in bacon, with a bit of brown sugar and slow cooked on a grill.

Try the bacon wrap duck but put a jalepeno on them. The only way I eat duck. Goose jerky is good.

I have never had goose jerky, but I typically take the same approach. A flock of snows and blues will destroy a crop, and those things are just big pigeons so they aren't often eaten.

A speckle belly or two or a Canadian is a different story, but snows and blues are by far the most common goose that never gets cooked.

Only have Canadas here. Heard speckle bellies are really good. I always breast out the Canadas and make jerky. Has a whang but still good. Any jerky recipe works. I tend to like goose jerky with a little heat. I live on the Holston on a farm. Have a 30-40 acre cornfield on the riverbottom. Goose haven...

I bet. I know this isn't the hunting thread, but might as well go as the wind blows. I have desired deer jerky and all forms of jerky for years, but just never got a dehydrator or anything. It is on my list for the future, if I ever get to hunt again.

As to pj's comment about turkey... man I disagree. I think that is the dumbest, nastiest, rank smelling crap bird I've ever encountered. They see well, but purr a few times, hear a gobble, and they will practically walk right on top of you.

The hard part is drawing the bow string without the idiot bird running away. I loathe that animal. Everyone I know that has ever hunted turkey has loved it. I guess I am just odd.

Turkey, to me, must be cousins of a coot.

Based on my chicken, I think you might be right. I am quite capable of dehydrating things in an oven...

Jerky in an oven. Things I never considered #134390.

I shall look into this, thanks.

as long as you eat it i don't care what you hunt.

as for jerky it's ridiculously easy and cheap to make. you can easily do it with a box fan.

I don't think you are rich if you work a standard job for a living. I'd consider rich to be someone with sufficient assets that the interest, ROI, etc., generates enough money to live comfortably (and to generate additional money to add to the main nut to keep pace with inflation). For me, that would be around $20 million.

I'm kinda shocked by you're comment. Curious to what you think a person making 250K should be taxed though?

I would place 5 million net liquid assets as rich. This would generate 100k per year interest even with the weakest of savings account returns.
