    To early to rattle??

    I'd say not too early - s/b perfect time - bucks are getting antsy, but does probably aren't ready - should be lot of testosterone flowing.

    ND College SAVE 529

    Since this started about the time we started having kids, we've been using the ND plan for probably close to 20 years. I liked that you can opt to have the fund adjust level of 'aggressiveness' based on their age and it will do this automatically every few years. Like every investment, I'm...

    Barrel break-in - needed or myth

    Thoughts? Is the whole shoot/clean, shoot/clean, shoot 3/clean or whatever manufacturer recommends really important or just waste of time/ammo/barrel life? Seems like I try to normally follow what the mfg recommends on other items, but opinions on this seem to vary widely. Sure it’s been...

    35 Trespassing Violations in 2019

    I don't know, I'm just going off how they voted on SB2315 - apparently it is.

    35 Trespassing Violations in 2019

    Some of you are starting to paint yourself into a corner I think. Do you want to vote out the members who voted for SB2315? Most were Republicans and their district conventions are happening now or may have already happened - probably going to be difficult if not impossible to get them...

    Banks Stump 2 or Stump Vision 2 reviews?

    I've never been in a Banks blind, but for your original question - I would opt for the bigger windows if there is a chance they would be useful in the future. Just take a shooting stick or better yet a shooting tripod for your solid rifle rest. Even if you don't end up using for bow hunting -...

    Pheasant Food Plot Mix

    Burleigh County Soil Conservation still sells Russian Olive trees - I've planted a few. I think they can become a problem in you plant them along a watershed, but out on a prairie pasture, I don't think they will become invasive. http://bcscd.com/store/pc/Olive-Russian-30p187.htm

    Camping on state land

    From Land Department website - "Camping on school trust lands is NOT allowed. School trust lands were granted at statehood in 1889 solely for the support of the schools. These lands are leased for grazing and in some cases, for haying or cultivation. The Department of Trust Lands cannot spend...

    Tree Order Time

    Just a reminder that it's that time of year again if you're into ordering trees from soil conservation districts or nurseries.

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    Unfortunately for our farming community, I think it may be in regards to opportunity, not sure about value. After several years of struggling through the low commodity value period, now having to struggle against mother nature most of the year with either too wet (most) or too dry and now a...

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    How many acres? 1500 x 80 = $120,000 at 5% = $580/month. 160 x $35 = $470/month. This would be for 1 quarter where u buy the remainder half - get the rents up a little and it could cash flow right away - else cost $110 month plus taxes. I highly recommend buying if you can at all afford -...

    Unusual Deer Antlers

    Not from this year, but a couple odd balls from prior seasons I have saved on the 'puter.

    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    My oldest daughter used a Savage Lady Hunter - 7mm-08 - they sell reduced recoil ammunition and I have a suppressor - no kick or muzzle blast. If you're in the Bismarck area let me know and you can swing by and see if that would fit and maybe even plink off a round or two in the backyard (yes...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    It benefits hunters because they will know with more certainty which landowners may be willing to allow you access with permission vs. those that don't want to be bothered. You do hear stories about landowners being less the courteous to hunters on certain occasions - could be landowner likes...
