    Bighorn sheep recovering in ND

    I think you’ve gotten some misinformation there 8andcounting… my dad drew a tag last year after applying for more years than he can remember. There was no game warden or guiding involved. The local biologist contacts you and gives you some really good info on where to start and encourages you to...

    Tom Hoge pro golfer from Fargo

    I got paired up with Tom once in a high school meet. I was a senior and I thought he was too by how serious and focused he was on his game. He smoked me, think he shot in the mid 70’s that day and I shot in mid 80’s… asked him what grade he was in towards the end of the day and he said freshman…...

    Fur Prices

    No he didn’t… sorry… I was somewhat floored that he was only interested in those 2 species, in the past he’d always give at least a few bucks for almost any furbearing animal but not this year apparently.

    Fur Prices

    Talked to my fur buyer over here in west central Mn and he wasn’t interested in anything but muskrats and western coyotes… I asked about beaver and he said the only value is in the meat and castor… he said he wouldn’t even bother with coon this year even if it was prime and a big boar.

    Anyone make pemmican?

    I started making some a couple years back after reading this thread and now it’s a staple in my backpack for badlands and western style hunts. I put dried blueberries and cranberries in mine to add some sugar and taste. It’s filling, rich and stays with you. In one small ziplock bag I cover...

    Shop/man cave project

    I can’t quite tell in your pics but did you use those triangle shaped foam forms for your perimeter? I saw them for the first time about a year ago but we haven’t tried them yet. They basically act as your vertical and horizontal exterior insulation against frost... can’t remember what they’re...

    Shop/man cave project

    I pour and finish flatwork for a living... about a year ago a sales rep stopped by our shop and tried to sell us on these helix fibers... we all but laughed him off the property. Even the laborers who handle and tie rebar every day didn’t like the thought of it. (And it woulda made their lives...

    ammon bundy

    This Bundy guy kinda sounds like the modern day Gordon Kahl, haha... and I’m not saying that in a bad way.

    Gordon Kahl

    I’ve heard ‘Posse Comitatus’ was the group he belonged too... just what I’ve heard, no evidence to back it up.

    Who’s ready for trapping?

    Caught a Fisher in a coyote dirt hole set. Had to release it cuz it was about 2 weeks before Fisher season opened over here (Mn)... and couldn’t re-catch him in actual Fisher sets once the season was open.

    20.1-05.1-02. Discretionary special allocation hunting license authorization

    Are you fuckin serious Honker? If you wanna go elk hunting, research an area in a western state and go there as a non resident. It can be done for under $1k. Work some overtime, sell some stuff, give up a different hobby for awhile etc. if you don’t have the $$. Don’t play the ‘it’s not...

    One man's quest for 1000 Coyotes

    That’s a cool idea to use blood at the set... adds a visual attractant as well that gland lure can’t really do... how do you collect it? Cut the jugular after skinning a beaver and let drain into a bottle? Or just slice the animal at the set and let it bleed out a little? I can’t quite tell what...

    One man's quest for 1000 Coyotes

    It’s interesting to me that he doesn’t use lure... I recently purchased Craig O’Gorman’s book ‘Hoofbeats of a Wolfer’, I’m not done with it yet but he definitely seems to believe in lure. His numbers speak for themselves but then so do this guys’. Just kinda interesting how two different styles...
