    Species Introduced to ND

    Just rereading the Lewis and Clark journals and they mentioned seeing turkeys along the Missouri north of St. Louis a couple of months after starting their journey. They were also running into grizzlies and mountain sheep already in Nebraska and South Dakota. They were shooting black bear and...

    Range Finder Question

    Bought a new Simmons Volt Rangefinder on EBay for $70 last year and it does a great job for what I need. Supposed to be accurate out to 600 yards but all I need for prairie dogs is out to about 300 yards and it seems to be pretty accurate at least to that distance. I've come to depend on it...

    Bird dog out hunts half the group

    Both my labs have brought me wounded birds that none of my party shot. Problem was one time I was alone and already had my limit and was walking back to the vehicle when she picked up the wounded bird. It just had a fresh broken wing so I hated to waste it. Probably should just have tossed it...

    Which one of you?

    Last night about 5:30 I was coming back up Hwy 6 south of Mandan and passed 5 troopers and Morton Co. sheriff's dept. cars heading south. Don't know what was going on or where they were headed but I didn't see anything happening all the way from Selfridge to Mandan other than a private vehicle...

    New Smart phone user with questions

    A while back I read somewhere that 60% of the Flashlight apps for phones had malware or viruses in their code. Can't remember anymore where I read that but it was a reputable source.

    Sheriff investigating shooting incident at gun range

    Me and a group of friends were at BWW waiting for another friend after the play at Dakota Stage yesterday evening and when she came in she was a real mess. She only stayed long enough to tell us that she had to get home because one of her daughter's close friends had been killed in a shooting...

    22 ammo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUbE8USQU2s&index=6&list=TLDkem29PP5bbqVMUmFuqKjJI2XkIY1VcE Take a look at the you tube video at the link above and you'll get an idea of how the WSM compares to the HMR, WRM and .17 Hornet. There is absolutely no comparison to the .22 LR so it was not included...

    22 ammo

    Since I moved out of gopher country and into prairie dog country I've had no use for my .22 LR and .22 WMR for years so I sold them both and bought a .17 WSM. Awesome little rifle that can reach out and touch pdogs past 200 yards. And, you can get ammo for it.

    Refurbished Graphs?

    I've bought many refurbished electronics over the years and have never had any issues with them. From what I have heard many things classified 'refurbished' are actually just store returns that someone decided they didn't like and brought back with nothing wrong. The stores can't legally put...

    ND DUI laws

    My beautiful 30 year old younger sister got killed by a drunk driver who jumped out of his car and ran off after hitting her so I have very little sympathy for people who drink and drive. That being said I think cops could take it into consideration when someone tries to do the right thing and...

    Your roots

    Maternal great grandfather came over from Russia in 1890 and homesteaded south of Napoleon. Paternal grandfather came from the same area in 1904 and homesteaded east of Napoleon. If I look hard enough I should be able to find some relation to Carson Wentz. Pretty sure he has relatives in the...

    Lowrance Elite 5 HDI

    I think they were closing out their Elite 5x series because of the introduction of the Elite Ti and Hook series. Don't even see the Elite 5x listed any more.

    Lowrance Elite 5 HDI

    I picked up an Elite 5x CHIRP from Cabela's this spring for $199. After the $50 rebate it cost me $149 + tax. I have an Elite 7 HDI on the bow with the ducer on the trolling motor so didn't feel I needed another GPS unit. I just wanted a depth/fish finder on the consul. I was amazed by the...

    Uss mud puppy

    Well the USS Mud Puppy passed her maiden voyage with flying colors. Auto pilot motor peaked out at about 2.3-2.4 mph on a calm sea. Lowrance worked fine and the ride was smooth. One thing I will change though is the location of the batteries. Found I was most comfortable toward the stern and...

    Uss mud puppy

    Looks unstable as hell but the videos on you tube show that it's really solid. Saw one video that showed two big guys both standing on the top of one side of the boat and it wouldn't flip over. Hard to believe but I'll find out myself in the next day or two. Supposed to float in 8-10" of...

    Uss mud puppy

    My plan is to back the trailer into the water to load and unload. If I end up at a lake with no ramp those two batteries in the back will be a problem dragging it into the water, especially if the water is any distance from where I have to park. In that case I may need some kind of dolly to...

    Uss mud puppy

    My fishing buddy weighs 120# but I plan to mostly use it alone. That's why I got it because it' a bitch unloading and loading my Lund alone. Also I want to try fishing Harmon, Fish Creek, Danzig Dam, Crown Butte, Nygren, etc. and I think this should do the trick.
