Talking to my 18-year old self:

1: By the time you’re 30, you will have killed three species of deer, two species of elk, and many coyotes and rockchucks at ranges from 25 yards to 400 yards......and you did it all with a 30-06 shooting 180gr Nosler Partitions. Just stick with that, because you’re about to waste a lot of time and money.

2: You’ll realize one day you wasted a lot of time and money on girls in college. Girls outside of college are way cheaper and way easier.

3: You’ll realize the hunting and fishing will never be as good as it was in college. Do more of that and less of #2.

4: Get your Lund when they were cheap and pay it off quick. You’ll get a bigger boat to go with it.

5: Your 85 Silverado was just fine. Even in 2000. Its 2021 and it’s still running fine.

6: Good optics will be more important than expensive rifles.
