I am retiring in one more year. #7957266 08/05/13 Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 6,698 Minnesota W whelennut OP Campfire Tracker OP whelennut Campfire Tracker W Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 6,698 Minnesota I want to sell my home and move up north to the boondocks where I can buy 40 acres of woods and hunt til I puke. The wife is dead so I can buy what I want, not what she wants. Any advice on Northern Minnesota from anyone? whelennut I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I'm still walking around here trying to figure out where I am supposed to be and why my phone isn't ringing. Nice feeling. Good luck in your endeavor.

That pulp mill stench could kill a man. If you are going that far north, why not go west too? More stuff to hunt and away from those liberal idiots in the twin cities.

I figure to mess around till after hunting season, maybe the first of the year or so, then I'll be going back to work in some capacity. It is a relief though, to know that every day is saturday.

There was a saying that folks in Minnesota spent their winters drinking and fu**ing because it was too cold to do anything else!

My only suggestion is get a house you like to be in during the winter. I've found retirement is highly under rated.
