Only while you're on the plane. You can check your sidearm at baggage and get it back when you land. Of course, that leaves you at the mercy of TSA and the unwashed hordes until you board the plane.That still leaves the disarmament.

Had talked with a hunting buddy for years about "someday" going on a western hunt. He finally told me "buddy, 'someday' never comes" and we needed to go that year...we did and we have gone back twice since. (mule deer, elk and antelope each killed by both of us)
I have gone many times since with other friends also and have NO regrets. All of my trips except 2 have been driving.
A fishing trip is even easier and takes waaaay less planning and money.
I know everyone's life is different but GO when you can and plan on doing it rather than reasons you can't. JMHO

I agree 100%! I cannot imagine anything more depressing that sitting on your porch in a rocking chair as an old man and looking back on your life and saying to yourself over and over "I wish I had done..."
This getting up at 4AM and going to work every day thing keeps getting in the way of what I wish to do. But fishing don't pay the bills, unfortunately.

Man you know I enjoyed reading this!! Love that spot!
Did you have to keep that Brook? Or have regulations relaxed there?
We kept all the brooks caught in the lake.

Yes He did. It's a remarkable place. I've been blessed to see a lot of remarkable places. We live in one, brother!

Thanks for sharing! Looks like another great one in the memory bank.
And I don't have any desire to get on an airplane if it was free. Anywhere that I can't have a pistol and can't smoke = nope.
I will drive 11 hours before I will fly.

You drive.. I'll buy the gas and food... me and the TSA nazis have had our last fight!
LOL. Being free to listen to what we want, eat what we want, breathe what we want, wear what we want, say what we want, etc. ... driving wins hands down. Even with construction, road mishaps, etc., I prefer to drive. My boy and I drive home to Ohio instead of flying. Pit stopping to shop, eat, and play along the way and back again are all just perks. I have more fishing licenses now as we fish our way up and down. LOL
Plus we sleep in our van, stay where we want, etc. Love the road!

I can fit 12 foot sheet rock behind the seats of my van and still close the doors. Plenty of room for gear and sleep'n.

Looks like you "pimped out" one of them Sprinters. That's not a van... that's a mini home on wheels.

Yes! After setting here since joining the forum and sitting and reading all of NChillbillys post and yes I mean all of them he can definitely write a book! I read a few and thought man this guy is good and it was a small rabbit hole I went down and I felt like I learned a lot as well
