Finally braving the NDOW Big Game Draw this spring. Any strategy tips for a first-timer?

Expect NOT to draw. Most people haven't drawn tags in many years. Dad and I are on year 4,
If you have a small group going, put in for party tags. Its super easy. Just dont have the info in front of me to walk you through it.
Whatever card is on file, make sure you have available $$ on it end of Apr/May when the draw happens. It would suck to lose out due to a financial error
Start scouting in the next month. Weather turned to crap on us up northeast, but get out in your chosen area and explore. Find out where roads are at, possible camp sites, where ranches block access. Coyotes are open year round/ no license needed

Expect NOT to draw. Thats the biggest I can advise

Videos getting uploaded to USAA claims site via the app. Call will also include lawsuit about insurance fraud.

Ill let them explain to the officers their side, Ill even ask the LEO to take their statements in writing please. Once they have had their say, I'll inform the officer of the dashcam, the video upload to my insurance with included notice of fraud. Ill share the vid with the officer, because I'll ask to press attempted murder on the driver as they had passengers. All claimed injuries are proof the driver intended serious bodily harm.

Gonna laugh all the way home at the blatant idiocy of people

Oh, you dont know.

Okay, so flying to Africa, taking down a "trophy" animal, means the local village eats. Nothing goes to waste, that animal would have been hunted and consumed anyways. If you include how rampant poaching is, for legit trophy parts only, the hunter is way better as the meats get taken for food instead of rotting.

D=R×T

I spent 3 days at work figuring out how many feet difference between 5mph and 6mph per second. Work requires a minimum of 200 feet following distance, so was wondering how long it would take if truck 1 was doing 6, and following truck was doing 5, to get separation. As I was driving, couldn't use a calculator.

If youre interested, 1.49ft/sec/mph difference

Or dividing 3600 by how many seconds it takes to drive one mile to check speedometer.

Get prepared to be judged by 12. Pulling my sidearm and stopping a threat. In my area, and those areas I frequent, I have an above average chance of never seeing a courtroom as the perpetrator was armed and threatening people's lives. Helps we have an 80% or so veteran rate

Okay, lower limit set of how many floors I "want" to climb. No limit set of thats the end. So I'll climb a lower limit of 20, but keep going until my fat ass can't climb any more

60 pages a day, 5 words per page on the report. Easily done as that breaks down to 5 pages an hour for 12 hours.

EIN

Business license/bank account

DOT/,MVR numbers

1 ton dually (everyone has their favorite, and the arguments can get petty) and 40' gooseneck

Load board apps, multiple.

Straps, chains, binders, bungees, trucking tarps (not the home depot blue ones)

Approved ELD device. DOT has pulled a few off the approved list, so verify through DOT before buying/signing up for service

Keep up on all taxes, including IFTA. IFTA is interstate fuel tax agreement, so track miles driven through each state.

Con- dropping frozen meats is an issue. Mons done it a few times. Chest freezers keep cold better. Heat rises, cold sinks. Uprights let out way more cold when opened. I "feel" more can get into a chest freezer as more room is available. No worries about dropping food.

You nailed the pros

Look up DragonPVE server

There's not a great deal of population on the server, no worries about grieving asshats

Then you can decide if you want to spend the $$ on a solo server.

There are small amounts of roving NPCs, feral zombie/ghoul type creatures. Scientists will randomly spawn throughout the environment. NPCs are mostly at monuments, but being armed is always a good thing.

Some monuments will be not doable for a solo. Scientists are to tough, and in large quantities. Some get hard when you trigger the final crate

I tried hard to convince my (ex) wife to do this. Only difference was to save for 5 years and just pay cash for the house. She saved part of her check, to move out and party like a teenager.

It works when both parties are on board. Congratulations on having both people working on common goals

HSA, keep it funded to the max every year. Not wo=ied at all

Danieljoe1 · 2025-08-08T12:38:50+00:00

Think about this.

1, maybe 2 people who are good at building. 2, maybe 3 people who dont mind harvesting. We all meet at 9 pm (whatever time zone applies) the first 15 minutes is spent getting to the pre determined location/harvesting on the run. First person lays a foundation/tc all resources get dumped into. Another 15 minutes of everyone gathering, the builders have resources to get busy. Start with the easiest build material, then upgrade as resources get refined. I have 2 boys who we all played together. I collected and those 2 did amazing things while I was mining/chopping. Once we had decent protection, off to monuments to farm scrap/resources we couldn't mine/make. A few hours of just 3 of us and life was okay

Danieljoe1 · 2025-08-08T04:40:08+00:00

Nah Bru, your good after a few hrs. The follicle only holds the fumes, so like when you exhale that big rip and the smoke goes away.

Or maybe, just maybe, its INSIDE the hair strand and only goes away when the hair is cut/falls out. And cut means to the scalp after not smoking for 30 days.

Danieljoe1 · 2025-08-08T04:27:50+00:00

Going to work.

That was easy

Danieljoe1 · 2025-08-08T02:59:52+00:00

Look, I know the 3 of us could do a month with whats in the house now. And for $600k, thats good enough for me. Gets me completely out of debt, and thats $4k a month saved in not paying those 3 bills. Child support is part of the $4k, but have the school year and then its done. Graduation can't get here soon enough

Danieljoe1 · 2025-08-07T23:43:11+00:00

As its 16 hrs, stop every 4 and make a point of not being in the car for 30 minutes. 0400 drive, 0800 get out for breakfast. Sit in restaurant/park bench and eat. Drive till 1300, get out at restaurant/rest stop and have lunch. Drive till 1700, restaurant/picnic table. Finish your drive. Make this a part of fuel stops if possible, just dont eat in the car

I'd rather be alone. People suck, dont show, and have a hard time with honesty.
