    pines for deer bedding area

    Morton Co. Soil Conservation District sells 2-3' trees (2-3 years old) for $3.75. Their 3+' trees cost $5.75. Their surplus tree sale will be around the first or second Friday of June. The popular trees sell out fast so people often show up an hour or more early. They don't have a lot of...

    Whats your favorite CEREAL?

    Coco Pebbles for an evening TV snack or Wheaties with a sliced banana, big dollop of heavy cream, whole milk and three tablespoons of sugar, let it set until it's nice and soft then slurp it up. MMMMMMM, darn I wish I had some bananas in the house now!

    Fishing Kayaks

    Really like my USS Mud Puppy. 10' x 4' and stable as a table. Weighs 150 lbs stripped down and about 350 loaded down with 2 deep cycle batteries and a 12v 40# thrust Minn Kota w/auto pilot. Decked it out with an anchor, rod holders, oar clips, old cooler for a live well, storage bin for...

    24v or 36v Minn Kota

    If you use autopilot in a strong wind even a 24v setup will suck down in 4-6 hours, especially if you need to run the motor at a high speed. I think the autopilot uses a lot of juice when it's windy as it is constantly adjusting your direction. If you can get by without autopilot you can...

    small fish graph for 14' boat

    I believe the X series (4X, 5X, 7X etc.) do NOT have GPS or mapping capabilities. That's why they are cheaper. Last year I bought an Elite 5X HDI CHIRP on sale from Cabela's for $199 and got a $50 rebate from Lowrance. It doesn't have GPS or mapping but I like how clear the CHIRP feature...

    Fishing toon

    Have a buddy who bought a pretty nice one to use for fishing and partying. Nice platform for casting and on still days it's OK for trolling but he said it's a nightmare to handle in a normal windy day and it takes a full time driver when trolling. He also said it's nearly impossible to come...

    Spinning Reels

    Started with an old Zebco like many people but then didn't fish for almost 40 years so relearned on left handed spinning reels. Bought a couple of line counters and felt bass-ackwards so only use them for bottom bouncing. Bought a Black Max Abu Garcia last fall and they had a left handed...

    retirement

    I retired at 62 with my employers paying their share of my BCBS for as long as I don't cancel it. I turned 65 last fall and since I have that BCBS I figured I wasn't going to take Medicare Part B as it covers most of the same stuff that my BCBS covers and why should I pay for the same thing...

    Tree planting ?'s

    My neighbor to the west bought some cheap ass tree fabric from a box store last spring and all summer long the wind shredded it and the shreds were blowing into my yard. If you buy fabric get the good stuff from soil conservation.

    Tree planting ?'s

    I agree. I work planting trees for the Morton Co. Soil Conservation District and even when the grass is killed with Roundup ahead of time the results are usually not pretty. Work the ground up good ahead of time and put down a weed barrier and you will have decent survival most years. Also...

    Seeding Large Areas of Grass

    I and at least one of my neighbors have some composted horse manure piles that you can have for free if you can find something to haul it with. I have a loader tractor and will load it. One of my neighbors has quite a pile and several people have gotten loads from them too.

    Seeding Large Areas of Grass

    I also live just west of Harmon and work for the county soil district part time. I believe they are getting a drill seeder. The way it sounded they don't plan to rent it out but will hire out to do the seeding to avoid renters damaging the machine. They have a broadcast seeder on a 4-wheeler...

    Seeding Large Areas of Grass

    Talk to your local soil conservation district staff. They should be able to give you some good advice. Some districts even have grass seeders for rent or hire. Don't know where you live but I just found out that Morton County is getting a grass seeder this spring and will do seeding for...
