HR isn't normally a hard field to find a job in, and all the other places you list have substantially higher costs of living. I'd definitely try to find something in your own backyard first. Living here puts you in good proximity to some of the best hunting and fishing areas in the country, though that would be way down on my priority list personally. For mid level HR jobs, I agree that there are usually openings in the Indianapolis area. The generalist to manager level positions make up a large majority of opportunities, however I am currently in a higher role and would like to maintain my forward career progress. My wife does not work, so its all on me to keep the "bacon" coming in. The outdoor opportunities are on my mind and exciting, but like you mentioned, not my priority. I would like to keep my wife at home because she enjoys raising the kids and such. In order for this to happen, I must selectively choose the best decision to preserve this.

I guess I should have clarified that all relocation, relator fees, etc. are paid for by the company. My wife's whole family is here so we aren't getting a lot of support from most of our family. Its just going to be a big change if we relocate.

The good news first, we had our 2nd child, a girl, yesterday (9/28)morning! Now the bad news, I recently found out that my position will be eliminated at work in the next few months. I can quit this company and try to find another job in the area that offers comparable pay and benefits or I can relocate to follow work. My potential options for relocation include: Portland, OR Salt Lake City, UT Albacurque, NM St. Louis, MO San Antonio, TX Richmond, VAI landed a new job with another big well known company here locally! I am taking a small pay cut, but I believe it will be well worth it in the long run. I am not moving away after all! ;D ;D ;D

If it is feasible, you may trim the brown part off as well.

I dropped mine to 60lbs a few seasons back and the muzzys still break shoulders, one pair at a time!

I recently set up a new ladder stand, I have cut several new trails, and I have been shooting pistols and the bow frequently. I need to get another stand hung, position a climber, and shoot the muzzleloader still because I switched to a Hornday FTX this year. I also need to still scout a new farm that I got permission to hunt. So little time...

While squirrel hunting this evening, I had a close encounter with a red fox. This is encouraging for late season action with the .204 ruger! ;D

This evening I shot my first 2 squirrels of the season with my 20 gauge and #5s. The first one I shot had a bulge under the skin about the size of an acorn. I assumed it was damage from the shot until a huge worm emerged that was 2" long and as big around as my pinky! I took a stick and poked at it and it retracted back into the squirrel. Needless to say, I left that guy in the woods. The second squirrel was normal and now residing in my garage freezer. Has anyone else seen a parasite like what I have described on a squirrel??

Hopefully yours comes in soon so you have time to work some loads up for it and get it dialed in!

I have a Summit Viper and an Ole Man and I prefer the Summit by far. It is a great climber and don't forget your Hunter Safety System harness.

Steve, What caliber are you waiting for? I also have a pro hunter barrel in .243 win and a regular stainless tube in .204 Ruger. Good stuff... ;D

I was shooting my 7mm-08 Encore pistol yesterday and I was extremely pleased with my shooting at 50 yards. I don't have a bench rest so a chair and shooting sticks comprises my "range setup." I was shooting approximately 1" at 50 yards and I am certain that I could do better off of a bench, but I don't have that option at this time. I am using a 2-6x Bushnell Trophy scope and running some mild handloads through the tube. I am using 140gr Nosler Ballistic Tips over 41gr of Varget and the recoil is minimal. This is a rifle caliber that I would recommend to the handgunner for all of the reasons that I have mentioned. I need to get some additional loads worked up because the season will be here before we know it. I also want to put in some time at longer range to see how it will shoot.
