Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks for the info, I'll look into it, I have sort of a dinky safe anyway by arfcom standards  Can anyone tell me why most houses have full on gas furnaces, water heaters, and electric stoves??!! I wants my gas stove, this house doesn't have one, even my realtor couldn't explain it to me. Has a high fallutin electric since remodel, but I don't understand. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Actually, scratch that. I do have a moving recommendation. Nick of Time Moving Nick is a member here and moved my safe into the basement. I didn't realize that they offered more than just safe moving services, but according to the website they will do full service moves. They're located in SE WI, about halfway between you and your new destination. Based on my previous experience, I'd highly recommend Nick's crew.

It’s really that simple. Depending on how the lines are ran, & what size they are, it may be an easy addition or it could be more complex. |

Closing is scueduled a week from this Monday, can't wait. As for the naysayers, I picked the area because it was very red, realtor and her family have a ton of guns, she said we need more of you up here.
Said lots of properties she's sold have been to people from western states that couldn't take the libtard shit anymore. |

I realize this might be a little late, but I will second Nick of Time moving. Didn't realize he was a member here. Used him to move a Black Friday safe purchase. Good communication prior to the move, arrived on time, was extremely efficient, took care not to cause damage in some tight areas, offered some good suggestions (location and a few other items), and was reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Well, guess I'm an official resident now. Back in IL now, just on phone. Think I changed my state on profile.
Have a bunch of crap to haul up. |

Appleton seems nice. I almost moved there in 2012 but I didn't get the job I was applying for. I'm still looking around Vilas County but I may have to take another look at Appleton simply for the amount of work and available women.

UPDATE!!11!! ALET!
So awesome, everyone friendly DMV, in and out in 15 minutes, new license and plates. Thought I'd died and was in heaven. Did the concealed carry class, even though I had IL, FL, ID permits, sat through the 3 hours. Only had to do the 10 minutes of WI law, it was ok. Why is Pabst more expenisive here than Chicago? Post your buck or speared sturgeon on morning news is fabulous! |

I'd stay away from the PBR though...I only drink it when hammered and a cheap friend buys a round of silos because they're on special. |

Post your buck or speared sturgeon on morning news is fabulous! IDK, but Hamm's is like $12.50 at Woodman's. Gotta love Woodman's, their liquor department is bigger than some small town grocery stores. |

$12 for a 30 pack of Hamms and at least it doesn't come from New Glarus.

Anyone know of the best outdoor rifle ranges in the Fox cities area? |

There’s Shicton and also a 1k range just south of Fond du Lac called Cascade. Cascade is private but during the warmer months they regularly put on rifle putt putt sessions open to the public for cheap.

Job searching right now, specifically looking for walking distance or riding a bike in spring/summer. So much work I'm qualified for up here, all stores in close distance, but no real traffic on my street. House is great, concrete, not block basement, on a semi ridge where all melts downhill. Have bunnies under backyard deck, will show mercy on them till spring, then spray peppermint and secure access so they won't come back. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: you’re a better man than I… we have a good size garden every year, and lots of plants my wife loves in the yard We gave up on gardens, yard plants, flower beds etc, about 4-5 years ago. When the DNR banned deer feeding here, we lost our ability to "bribe" the deer with freebies like corn, potatoes, apples. We had a "truce" with the 150lb "woods-rats". But after we had to stop openly feeding them, we broke the peace treaty, and they simply began helping themselves to whatever we tried to grow instead. They'd eat the flowers right down to the ground as fast as they grew.  And when the wolves moved into the nearby Nicolet Nat'l Forest in big numbers over the past decade, the deer relocated here, to be around people where they feel safe. So they are very plentiful.  Otoh... one deer has more meat than 50 or so rabbits, so there's that on the plus side, if SHTF.  |

Last night just before dark, I counted 24 deer, just looking out my windows. They yard up for the winter where I live. Some of the smaller bucks still have antlers too, which isn't common for March. This picture is typical...took this out my kitchen window on Feb. 8th.  " />" />

The best thing about living with the deer, as a deer hunter, over time you develop what I call "hunter eyes". I spend at least an hour everyday, in the seasons when there's no leaves on the trees, looking out my windows into the woods... looking for deer. I now see things, that as a city person (seems like another lifetime) I would never notice. I amaze myself sometimes, at how my eyes have been "trained" over the past 30 years, to spot a stationary deer hundreds of yards away through the trees. Even further, if they're moving. When you see them day in and day out, there are tiny details you recognize as a deer, that (subconsciously) just jump out at you when one is in your field of vision. When you live in a city or town, that doesn't happen. It takes years of repetition.
Another advantage is "buck fever" is a thing of the distant past too.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I must need a new prescription. Or I need to move. If you live in a city... yeah, move. I've had relatives and friends from the city come to visit, some of them are deer hunters with years of seasons under their belts. They'll be looking out my window into the woods at some deer. I'll count a dozen, when I ask "how many do you see? Take your time and count"... they may see 5 or 6 of the 12 I see. They see the ones moving, or in the open. They don't see the ones I spot by seeing just a leg, an ear, or a tail on a stationary deer partially obscured by brush or pine tree branches, maybe 100 yards away. Hell, there's probably really 15 where I see 12, and they see 6. |

We've got the same pair of Sandhills that hang out around our place every year. They make WONDERFUL alarm clocks in the AM and I swear they follow us to FL in the winter.
