    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    Went down the rabbit hole of research on this topic for new build few month back. As others have mentioned it depends on intended use. If you have a smaller family with a set shower schedule then it could work out. Capacity/flow rate is what you have to look at, and DONT just do a quick glance...

    NDA Ammo and Reloading Component TRADE thread

    I have N570 powder for trade for Berger 30cal 215gr Hybrids. Will also consider the 230gr Hybrids. - - - Updated - - - Also have some federal factory seconds loaded ammo in 7MM rem mag. Full disclosure these are probably about 8 years old at this point, but willing to let go cheap.

    ND elk tag auction

    If I wasn't clear I completely understand how the code is written and how Shiloh got the taq. I'm not inferring there was any shady or preferential treatment going on. My feelings and comment was more in line with what Schmaltz expanded on above. I feel like there is an opportunity here that...

    ND elk tag auction

    Happens in a number of other states in some form. Usually called "Govenors Tags" and all fetch $$ that are hard to comprehend. Although I think it makes better sense on these once in a lifetime tag auctions for the G&F to keep the $$ in house and dedicate it to land access or habitat...

    big 3 drawing

    Lots can change over that period of time. including tag allocations and animal populations. Look at the draw odds last few years and should have a good idea. I think most cow tags for moose and elk are sitting around that 25-70%. Those are pretty goods odds and one could expect to draw both of...

    Lost tackle box and one ice cleat at Geier Lake on 1/7/21. Long shot but figured maybe there is a chance.

    Head Lamp for Christmas

    Yeah, a guy has to really think about the main uses of the light. If I was back doing a lot of waterfowl decoy set up the combo spot and flood would be really beneficial. The supplied 18650 battery is pretty impressive at 5000 mah. Two CR123's end up somewhere around 2500-3000 mah. So a set...

    Head Lamp for Christmas

    Just got the Fenix HL60R and have only played around with it in the house. Biggest selling point for me is the battery set up and the lumen output. The usb rechargeable 18650 battery is perfect for the more day to day short uses and the option to use two CR123 batteries meets my preferred...

    Dakota Walleye Classic

    IMO, the problem is the potential culling. If tournaments went to weighing a full limit, say 10 fish per day, it would probably be won by teams culling fish. Its just too easy of a way to cheat. I think even mostly honest people would have a lapse in judgement. Keeping the weigh fish limited...

    Muzzleloader Points

    For me its more about the quality of the hunt. There is so much more to what Muzz season has to offer than just the weapon. I am a public land hunter so the less people afield is the major draw. I also enjoy the challenge the weather can present during the late season. but the more I think about...

    Muzzleloader Points

    It certainly could, and pending the details of the system I might be in favor of something like that. However I personally dont think the bow tag system is "as broke" as the Muzz tag system. The point creep and wait times for the muzz tag is absurd. As mentioned many times before the bottom...

    Muzzleloader Points

    I disagree on the line of thinking that our muzzleloader tag system "just the way it is, dont complain". Ironically, you bring up the reason when you recommend people to switch units/choices as it pertains to rifle deer tags. Thing is we have no choices on the muzzleloader draw, either apply...

    Muzzleloader Points

    My opinion is make us choose to apply for a buck rifle tag OR buck muzzleloader tag. Draw odds will increase for each tag and it will spread out the hunting pressure over different seasons which is much needed on the state's reduced land access. Oh wait cant to that, change is bad. How will...

    It is a joke. Time for a change.
