    Increase in hawk and owl populations

    I have seen it happen many times over the years. Your sitting in the tractor doing fieldwork or making hay and the tractor flushes up an adult pheasant, and a hawk that was flying overhead swoops down and knocks it out of the air. If its that easy for them to take out adult birds i cant imagine...

    Pop-up vs Flip Style

    I started out with a couple different homemake wooden end with tarp for walls. They worked fine but too heavy to take out when your alone. Then I bought an eskimo quick flip 3 with a bench seat. I like it but there isnt much slope on the front of the sled part of it so if there is more than 3"...

    4 wheeler or snowmobile

    You could if You were 100% sure the ice was 7" thick all over the lake. Years ago I was fishing on a lake during early ice. I was fishing on 8"s of good ice but a warm spell had opened up open water about 150 yards from shore. It got cold again and the next weekend I read on fishing buddy a guy...

    So for several years now I have had hanging metal targets by the house that my family shoot the pistols at with much enjoyment. For years I have wanted to get a long range setup for rifle shooting set up but just have not got it done. Last weekend I finally did. I set them in 100 yard increments...

    remember when...

    As a youngster when we made homemade ice cream at thanksgiving or Christmas. Also grew up with a coal stove in the house so a lot of times woke up in the morning cold till we made a morning fire or it burning so hot you had to crack the windows in the dead of winter to keep from overheating.

    Ice electronics

    I just bought that soft sided blue case at scheels for $45, maybe Clam brand not sure. I bolted a square piece of 3/8" Poly type board material to the bottom of the bag to stiffen it up and i mounted my unit to that board. Buy the appropriate ice ducer for your unit and a battery. I don't think...

    Ice electronics

    You will like it. I got an ice kit for my 859 with lakemaster chip. I didnt care for the flasher mode on the humminbird, couldnt seem to get the flasher screen cleaned up enough to see what was actually going on so i use it in 2d mode. Only problem with the 7" screen is the battery wont last all...

    Jury duty

    Only time I was ever called i was picked to sit on a Federal case in Bismarck for one of the states bigger meth busts a couple years ago. At first I was really dreading it but once it got going it was alright. Very eye opening to hear witnesses recount how cars filled with meth were driven thru...

    Puller The Trigger

    There isn't a single positive aspect to prairie dogs. There are still weeds and the only grass they leave is less than 1 inch tall which causes erosion. I wouldn't wish a prairie dog town on my worst enemy.

I generally have fished the Beulah, Hazen ramp areas but have been around Douglas and Garrison bay areas and what i believe is called the Nishu area.

    Lowrance Fish Reveal

    Protecting Schools

    One thing that worries Me about all the talk about the focus on the mental illness aspect of all these mass shootings. Yes obvious mentally ill people shouldnt have guns but does that mean anyone on anti depression meds has to give up all there guns? I worry a little bit about the attitude that...

    Cancel your Scheels Card

    I admit i have let my NRA membership lapse a few years ago. After witnessing this last week how the media is trying to demonize the NRA and its members i joined again today. This fall is a very important election, from maintaining our gun rights to the Dems possibly picking up enough votes to...
