    DL Devils 7/21-7/23

    Back at it! Annual DL trip with the family and friends did not disappoint. Brought my son for the first time and he was a helluva net man and walleye wrangler. We absolutely nailed the weather. High 70s and low 80s. Winds were from almost dead calm to maybe 15 MPH. And of course, tons of fish...

    So...Recession?

    I gotta say, as a 30-something who is now facing down the barrel of another possible recession, I'm getting the all-too-familiar deja vu. The last one I was living with my now-wife, no kids, in an apartment, paycheck to paycheck as she finished up nursing school. She graduated and there were...

    Last weekend strategies

    I'm heading out one more time Saturday to try and fill my doe rifle tag. It's a 3 hour drive to my hunting spot in 2H. I was contemplating leaving around 3 to get there well before sunrise, but with the forecasted cold will the deer likely even be moving at first light, or do you think it would...

    Deer Rifle Sight In Issues: I feel like an absolute dunce

    So I rifle hunt so rarely these days (up until last year I hadn't pulled a rifle tag in ND since 2019), that I honestly can't recall the last time I've had to tinker with my rifle scope. Every year I'd go to the range or my parent's back yard, pace out 100 yards, and fire two shots, which would...

    Friendly heads up: AC prices increasing substantially in 2023

    Just in case some of y'all are like 98 percent of our customers this time of year and planning on "waiting until spring" to replace their dilapidated, leaking, and/or non-functioning home air conditioner units, one word: Don't. Thanks to the Department of Energy, new minimum efficiency...

    Frame packs: Overwhelmed

    I've come to the realization that I will likely forever be going into bigger areas, and walking further in them, to get deer. And while I'd love to be able to drag deer back to the pickup like I always have, the reality is that many of these areas are prohibitive to such transportation methods...

    Weather Bucket 2021

    Hope it didn't blow away! Did you remember to put a rock in the bottom before the snow came?? Not sure what we got for total accumulation in Fargo. Crunchy, crusty, icy crap for sure. Can't see the grass in my yard, and there's no point in shoveling the driveway or sidewalk because it's...

    Getting pumped: Deer opener!

    For the first time in years, I'm legitimately excited for deer opener. I get to spend it with my dad. It took me until this morning to realize we've never, in fact, actually deer hunted together before. Done plenty of other stuff -- duck, pheasant and grouse hunted, camping, fishing, etc. -- but...

    Is it worth anything?

    I have two containers of gun powder. When my grandpa passed away, the relatives gave me a bunch of his old hunting and shooting stuff. It's sitting in my basement, and other than the containers (which are pretty cool looking) I have no use for the powder. Is it worth trying to sell (or safe to...

    Ode to my Remy

    Not a lot of folks know out of my circle, however my first "best boy" Remy passed away this summer. Fast forward, and a relative offered to paint a picture in honor of his memory. I wrote a little ditty to go along with it. Believe she's turning it into a 4-part series? Anyway, here's Part 1...

    New Tundra Accessory Recs

    I was faced with sinking $4k into an 11 year old F150, or finding something new. Decided to get a 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 and love it. Has the 5.5 ft bed. Want to for sure add a tonneau cover before winter and need running boards. I know little about aftermarket accessories. Anything specific...

    New area, new challenge

    For the first time since 2002, I'm rifle hunting in a unit I've never hunted before. I picked up a leftover doe tag in a zone that was the closest to home. I've hunted near the area before for ducks and pheasants, but it's been years. My thought process is to make a challenge out of it by...

    The Water Cooler

    I think I've maybe met two of you in person, but I like this place. Full of schlubs just like me. Guys who work hard, play hard, and maybe hunt and fish more than they should. Far from me to be the downer, but other than my wife I have very few folks to vent to. I'd like to start a thread...

    It's hot

    It's blast-furnace hot. I think it hit 102 here, and the forecast for the next 10 days is 90 and above. Time to blow up the kiddie pool and drink some Blue Nums until Monday.

    I Have this old Recurve

    Two years ago, both my grandpas died within a couple months of eachother. I wound up inheriting some of their old hunting and fishing stuff, but the two things I've had the most fun with are their recurve bows. Unfortunately, Grandpa Ray's bow has a split limb end (looks like it delaminated or...

    Spring purge

    I'm not sure what it is about this time of year, but I get a serious bug to go through my stuff and just throw heaps of things. It's amazing how much stuff someone can accumulate, seemingly without realizing it. And it drives me nuts, because the more things I have, the harder it is to find...

    New Land Bills: SB 2036, 2037 and 2038

    I'm not sure what to make of these yet other than what is written, but methinks we best keep a close eye: https://gf.nd.gov/legislation?fbclid=IwAR3txhaNiHPbWDlGRwLWBoE6BJL9LkSbRcGVHcZt6rtF89M5_j5lnbIv1lA (If you don't want to click the link) SB 2036: Legislative management shall continue to...

    Time dilemma: Hunt now or wait

    I have very, very little time to hunt this year, and my season is now split with wanting to fill my archery tag (doe or buck, doesn't matter, just filling the freezer) and pheasant hunting with my aging/ailing dogs. This weekend is Halloween, and I need to make a decision on whether to make a...
