Yeah, definitely feeling a bit of a pinch. Food is ridiculous, told my husband we need to stop eating. We are both retired, I’m thinking about picking up a part time job to help close the gap. I thought we would be all set for retirement but I’m seriously doubting that now.

Why so angry? I do understand that the fees for hunting go towards conservation efforts, and while I personally have zero desire to hunt, I also understand the need for it. I don’t like it, but I understand it. I do not walk in the woods during hunting season which certainly limits my enjoyment of the outdoors, so yes, I think non-hunters should have a day when we can enjoy the woods. I also understand your frustration with people who don’t take precautions by at least wearing an orange vest to alert hunters they are not prey. (Plus some of them are so damn loud, no one can enjoy the silence in the woods). Everyone has a price they pay, you with increased hunting and fishing fees, non-hunters with a lack of safe access. No one ever said life is fair.

Salem is a wonderful place to visit especially if you are into history. Salem during Halloween should be avoided like the plague. It’s crowded, traffic is horrendous, any sites you may want to visit are going to have lines around the block. Restaurants are jammed with incredible wait times. Salem is a great place but not at Halloween.
