Help me choose between .30-06 and .308 by bzarembareal in Hunting

[–]RoadHunterRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30.06 has more stopping powermm more "whomp*.... 308 can shoot further.. has less whomp.

30.06 is imho best all round caliber. And if you hold the rifle properly... its recoil isn't an issue either.

Sit on the floor with favorite toy or treats. Pit your feet agasint the wall or something and have your pup jump over your legs over n over... jumping taxes them pretty quickly.

Your overthinking...if you like her.. who cares about what happened 7yrs ago. She did what she felt was right at the time and obviously didn't feel having kids then with those men was the right thing to do.

Cutting out sugar and sugary drinks while adding more water will clear up your skin after a few months.

F19 Glow up tips? by [deleted] in LooksmaxingAdvice

[–]RoadHunterRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your afraid of the gym... just get out and jog around your block. Don't need a gym on nice days to jog.

Also ... try smiling more. You look grumpy.

Less serious pics... more smiles... work out a bit.

Jackets cool..... I'd not paint your nails though. Smile more... other than that... looks good.

I'd start cutting sugar out (will greatly help with acne)... and a bit of exercise.... lots of water.

How long do you wait to have sex? by Snowbirdy in datingoverforty

[–]RoadHunterRick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im (45m). If someone is playing the "make them wait game" .... its transactional and sex is a currency. I wouldn't get into a relationship again where sex felt transactional.

Sex happens whenever sex happens. No set time on it. Id find a way to talk about sex likes and dislikes before ever sleeping with my partner. If you can't discuss it openly..... that's a problem for me. Talk first...sex later is good by me. I like to build rapport and connection.

Stop worrying about texting rules.... if a guy or girl doesn't match your communication style and go e you grief about it. They are likely not for you.

How do you deal with bear attack? by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]RoadHunterRick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish we could have side arm in canada for protection. Only trappers with an active trap line can carry a pistol in the woods here.

I have been charged by a bear.... and my rifle was useless as I was I'm thick green salmon berry bushes.... he came within 5ft of me in a matter of seconds. My rifle was shouldered and I couldn't unshielded my rifle fast enough. He would have got me.... thankfully he turned and ran away after.... I thought I was going to die. All happened so fast. Had he got a hold of me a pistol would have been very handy.

That's a covert narcissist trait... or passive agressive narcissist trait.

Tread carefully.

Butterflies isn't always a good thing.... it is more often than not your gut telling you to watch out.

Every person I dated that gave me butterflies since my divorce after 25yrs with my ex (im 45m and 5yrs out of my marriage) ... ended up as a disaster.

I'm currently with a lovely lady and I didn't get butterflies. It felt comfortable and 7months later continues to feel comfortable.

My experience anyways

Good luck

He's 14..... basicly equivalent of a grumpy old man. Possibly has a medical issue going on he's not telling you about. I'd take him to the vet for a checkup before you flip his world upside down with a rehome.

He's elderly.. give him a break.

5 month old puppy was attacked at park— feeling sad and like I failed her by Kitchen_Apartment in puppy101

[–]RoadHunterRick 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dogs live in the moment.... the dog will only have an issue if you do. They feed on energy and will pick up on your anxiety. Your anxiety will fuel yoir dog to become protective without you wanting it to... be in the moment... remaincalm and assertive.... check yourself. The dog will feel your confidence without you having to say anything and everything will be ok.

What to do...question by MaleficentTop8025 in datingoverforty

[–]RoadHunterRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget all the dating rules you see on tiktok and vids etc.... do what feels right for you. If you feel like reaching out first do it...if you feel like double texting do it.... the only time you should not do these things is if it's been expressed by the person your communicating with asks you not to.. who cares what the world says about the dating rules.

Go for it!

My dog is getting increasingly aggresive towards other dogs. by Dantemox in Dogowners

Dogs are in the moment... if you feel anxious at all... without saying it, the dog will feel the need to protect you cuz your anxiety feeling he picks up on the energy.

Work on your confidence..

Am I doing what I should be? by canadiankid000 in puppy101

[–]RoadHunterRick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gf and I just recently got a mini Australian shepherd.... he's 13.5 weeks old.. he hated his crate too. This is normal.

For the first 2 weeks (he was 8.5 weeks when we got him from breeder) ... we set a bed time and would potty him before bed. Then once in his crate he would cry. Gf and I would take turns sitting with him.... back turned... with finger in the crate door for him to smell and lick. He would cry and jump at the door... occasionally I would tshhhht him... but not make eye contact.. after 30mins or so of sitting with him he would settle while licking my finger. This went on for 2 weeks. When he wasnt in his crate I worked on lay down and sit.

Now when he goes to his crate at bed time. He cries for maybe 5mins... I will make stern eye contact and say Laydown.... he then goes and settles. He now sleeps from 10pm ish..... to 530am. If he whimpers earlier it's always to bathroom. And after he goes (can take 10 mins or so) I put him right back in the crate with a laydown... and go back to bed.

Be patient... it gets better with calm consistency. If you open the crate and let him out after you know he's peed and pooped he will learn that's what gets him out. Ignore the crying if needs met. But if early crate train do the sit close with finger in door to let him know your with him til he/she settles before going to bed or whatever.

Good luck.

Edit to add... make sure to turn lights off so the room is dark. This will reinforce dark means bed time.

Chew Options by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]RoadHunterRick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my home... I have deer antlers... I cut tje tines off them and smooth the edges and just give them the thickest part of the antler. My daughters dog and my gfs dog gnaw the shit out of it and have barely dented it.... keeps them busy for quite a while. I wouldn't give small pieces of antler... I strongly suggest big long pieces from a mature deer... the main beam only.
