    The Decline of Devils Lake

    Agree 100%. Snow goose is the same. Waste of time anymore with all the guides. Wonder how many landowners know paid hunters are on their ground?

    The Decline of Devils Lake

    The legislature sure shot that down quick. Apparently having a license and insurance shouldn’t apply to fishing guides in SD. It’s funny how you have the “small government” and “we don’t need regulations” group complaining we need to regulate guides. Convenient when beneficial I guess...

    And the Dow cracks 50k today. Interesting markets these days.

    The Decline of Devils Lake

    Lots of fish get taken the other 9 months of the year too. A closed season for that reason alone doesn’t make sense. Protection the spawning fish but if they get caught in the summer it has no effect? I know they may be more vulnerable then but still the other harvest drastically offsets...

    The Decline of Devils Lake

    4 walleye 10 perch is reasonable. Slot limits are feel good measures but scientific research shows little overall effect. I do like SD one over 20” rule as a middle ground for walleye. But a 10” gill or 14” perch is equivalent to a 28” walleye. So how do you protect them? Lower limits imo.

    Buying gold and silver.

    Bitcoin and crypto are getting hammered too. I wonder how many took their gains? My little sum is sitting there still but it’s not enough to feel sorry about. Still sitting ok.

    Cheaper Lithium for FFS shuttl

    I know one thing, I don’t leave li batteries unattended on chargers any more. Too many bad stories. Garage fires these days are not often battery fires.

    Buying gold and silver.

    The metals guys I know are like prairie dogs. In good days when the sun is shining and prices are rising they’re out of their holes chirping all day long. But when things go bad and a few shots are fired they’re down their holes quiet as can be lol!

    The Decline of Devils Lake

    Anyone else find it harder to be motivated given the current status of things? I’ve struggled to enjoy the current without thinking back to the good old days. It’s not with every activity, some things are better (Sak for example). But some of the ice fishing and hunting in general sure had...

    500,000 acre habitat program

    You’ll never be able to tie it to access. Or at least it won’t be successful. In SD, if you use GFP programs, you have to provide “reasonable public access”. If you let a couple friends hunts, that counts. I too agree it is a net gain for all and that the picture is bigger than roosters and...
