    Throwback Pike

    Is this a legit claim? I hadn't heard it before and it was a couple of my neighbors who caught the fish. Before my time however, so hadn't really gotten any first hand accounts of it.

    Military honors At funeral

    Sorry for you loss. The sound of Taps playing is a powerful trigger for me too. Gets me every time!!

    Bison going South again

    The announcers on ESPN kind of confused the issue as they said it was being reviewed as to whether or not it was a fumble. It was clearly a fumble and what the referee said was that they were reviewing the recovery to see who's ball it should be. All that being said, it was a very quick review...

    Spear fishing for walleye

    I don't think it's against the law as long as you don't exceed line limits. I've tried it with zero success. They don't seem to bite when it's light enough to see them. I've caught perch in the spear hole occasionally.

    Spear fishing for walleye

    I spear fish, and I'm not an A-hole! Or at least my mom says I'm not. Guys that don't mark their holes or leave their ice blocks on top of the ice are though. I don't see many walleye when set up for pike spearing. In eight years of spearing I might have seen a couple dozen walleye that I would...

    Youth Deer Season

    I'm enjoying living vicariously through those of you getting out with your kids! I have three daughters and the oldest had her first tag last fall. We had a good time together practicing with the .22, then picking out and getting her own rifle. We sat a couple times without a shot opportunity...

    Deer Tags

    Two separate envelopes. Not even two tags in one envelope!

    Deer Tags

    My wife and I as well as my brother and his wife all got two tags each. I called and was told they are deciding what to do about it. Printers mistake was the reason I guess. Seems to me that they would have to reissue them in a different color too. I don't know how else they would know if people...

    This is what happens when you drink and drive .............. a combine

    If you don't lock the brakes together and only hammer one, it can get a little hairy! Especially at 25mph give or take!

    Potatoes - Hill or no?

    Our county's extension agent on planting potatoes. I know some don't have facebook accounts, but I can't find the video anywhere else. https://www.facebook.com/mcleancountyextension/videos/1061262364273175

    Toilet Paper shortage

    So I'm guessing that people are hoarding the TP in case of a 14 day lock down/quarantine. So it basically comes down to the city folk having to adjust their buying habits for essential supplies/food like us poor country folk that only make it to town once every 2-3 weeks have to do all the time...

    Need a Bow restrung

    I think The Outfitters is selling bows, but not sure whether or not they are going to have a "mechanic".

    Arrowhead hunting

    No/minimum till farming has made it a lot tougher to find things. If you can find fields that have been tilled and walk them after a fairly hard rain is a good start. Even better if they are along creeks or some water source where camps would have been.

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    Had the hitch chained up to a gooseneck ball in a pickup bed. Hooked onto the rims of the rear axle as that was about all we could get to. I'm going to have to get the story on how they got the hitch up onto the pole that's blocking it as that was one of the days I couldn't help out. They told...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    Cut out and lifted up, but about 15" of ice still hanging from the bottom of the house. Same day. Overhead gantry system would have worked better if it was 3-4' wider and about a foot higher. The width hindered the ability to cut easily in between the frame and the house. It also made it a...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    House is off of the hole we cut to free it. I didn't make it out there today as I had a sick kid home from school. My father in law and the owner made the final push and the owner is working on getting the axles down and locked in place somehow. I'm sure he's relieved! My father in law is the...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    You might be on to something SDMF. I would think there would be a safety pin system if nothing else so you weren't relying on the hydraulic system not failing during transport. Once we get it to the landing we can dig into that problem a bit more.
