    Land for Youngsters to Hunt

    Big thanks to KDM for helping my daughter fill her tag again this year. This nice doe popped up about 6:15 and my daughter shot a little far back, but it still looked good. I could see blood coming out of the entrance hole before the doe disappeared into a shelter belt. Just to be safe we gave...

    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    Thanks for all the posts guys! I really appreciate it. It looks like the youth model .243 or the 6.5 creedmore got the most votes. I'll look into both and hopefully have a great fall with her in the field with me.

    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    My daughter turns 12 this year and wants to deer hunt next fall. She's small for her age weights less than 70 pounds. Pretty sure any gun in my cabinet would tear her shoulder clean off :-). What do you guys recommend as a caliber that will ethically kill a deer, but will be easy on her...

    M3, yea or nay?

    Considering marijuana should never have been illegal in the first place, I hope it passes and will vote for it. The reefer maddness claims from LE and others are completely unfounded. Driving while under the influence of marijuana has (and will always be) illegal. I have handled hundreds if...

    Waterfowl Report

    Saw a huge increase in nonresident hunters in the area south of Lakota. I've been hunting that same area this weekend for the past 10 years and this is, by far, the most pressure I have seen. Very dry conditions had the birds concentrated, so that may have had something to do with it. Saw a...

    arctic hot tub

    I have a hot springs salt water hot tub and absolutely love it. My only regret is not buying it sooner. If you make sure you're clean when you get into it, you honestly don't have to do much of any maintenance on it at all. I used it 2-3 times a week last winter and never had to adjust the...

    Starting to go a little overbord

    The laws are written without much sense of real-world application. I used to live in St. Paul and would still come back to rifle hunt (during the good 'ol days when a guy could get a nonresident doe tag for $50). Back then ND law required me to keep the head and hide with me at all times while...

    What were you doing 17 yrs ago today?

    Working at a shop in GF. Still remember the owner yelling at us all to "GET BACK TO WORK" as we tried to watch the events unfold on TV. Then I had to go to class at UND in the afternoon and just remember everyone just had a deadpan look on their face. That night I met up with friends for our...

    Boat Trailer Work in Fargo

    Yikes, my wear looks identical to figure 3. It's a 1991 boat with a 2001 motor, so the trailer has been in use with that boat for a long time. If it is the axle, where would I go to get that replaced with a stronger one?

    Boat Trailer Work in Fargo

    Anyone have a recommendation for someone to look at my boat trailer in Fargo/Moorhead area? My tires are not wearing evenly (only the inside tread is wearing) and I would like to find someone who can fix the problem or tell me if my current trailer is shot. Any recommendations are...

    Devils Lake Pike

    Thanks Walleyeman. That sucks about the Pelican Lake landing. I just have a 16' with a 50 hp motor so that drive from Graham's is a long ass way. I may just trim the shit out of my boat and give the 12" channel a run for its money...

    Devils Lake Pike

    Heading up to Devils for our (now) annual fly fishing trip for big pike. We landed close to 80 last year but had a hard time finding the bigger girls. Anyone out this past weekend find any areas with larger-than-average pike? I heard a rumor that the pelican lake access was closed. Any...

    How to choose the right flies

    C is a more well-rounded box but that price is ridiculous for what you get. You're going to want a good mix of dry files, nymphs, wet flies, and streamers. That's what you get with box C, but you should be able to get those files for the price of box B.

    Spring snows report 2018

    Area between Church's Ferry and Rugby was covered with snows yesterday. Most of the birds were in smaller flocks of 100-200. Area around Leeds was absolutely thick. There are definitely still opportunities out there if someone is interested. I wish I had time to get back up there.

    Spring snows report 2018

    Drove to Bismarck and back yesterday. In the morning I didn't see any until I hit Jamestown. Quite a few between Jamestown and Medina. Unbelievable #'s coming off the Long Lake NWR just east of Bismarck. You could see massive flocks from the interstate near that NWR. On the way home I saw...
