    New Boots

    I think I would have to check out some Baffin's if I was getting a new pair. The reviews on every other brand Lacrosse, Sorel, Muck, Korkers are all pretty hit and miss especially when it comes to durability. I believe the Baffin are still made in Canada which would give me some hope. The...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    K drill we’re kind of the original “drill bit” and gained popularity because of it but other than really dirt ice are the worst option. By far the slowest and use twice the battery life. They had a good run but there are better options 99% of time. Most guys I know that started with them have...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Since I went to a milwaukee/eskimo set up 4 years ago, I think I have used my gas auger maybe 3 times late season. Probably wouldn't of had to, but I have it and figured I should use it once in a while so it still works when I need it. If I had nothing and was buying new today id probably go...

    SNOW

    Sounds like NOAA is saying Bismarck got 17" officially at the airport, but said there are other accurate reports of up to 24" in the area. Just missed our "official" one day snow record of 17.3"

    iFishPro or Finicky Fooler?

    I have two I-fish pros that I think I got for like $25 on clearance several years ago, and that's about what they are worth. Its pretty much got to be above freezing and low wind for them, and they are still just clunky and awkward to deal with. One thing they do work pretty good for is over...

    Financial Status

    What first time home buyer is making $150k to be able to afford that same house like your parents did at their age that’s now 300k? Not to mention now they are buying a 50-70 year old house that probably needs a fair share of updating.

    Financial Status

    I think the thing most of you guys who are talking about the interest rates from the 70's and 80's are missing is how much faster home prices have risen than wages in that past several decades. Your buying power was much more back then. Could you have afforded those first homes if the price was...

    Financial Status

    Yeah its going to be interesting to see what happens in the next couple years. There may finally be some deals to be had for cash buyers, because I'm not sure who will be taking out loans at these rates. I'm sure companies will try and extent loan terms even further and a few idiots will fall...

    Take the bench seat out and get an electric auger and you instantly drop 50+ pounds. I don't put my bench in until I'm pulling with atv, that thing is a heavy POS.

    New Flip Over

    Id go try and sit in both and see which one you like better, maybe see which one is easier to remove and replace a seat to keep weight down when you are alone. Other than that id look at window placement, pole construction and sled durability. If they seem pretty even, id probably lean Eskimo...

    3 Class Bball system in ND?

    Yep this is an issue nobody thinks about, much more travel for the lower classes as you will have fewer teams near you. The middle class would likely be traveling all over the state during regular season.

    3 Class Bball system in ND?

    This whole thing is going to come down to a political pissing match of small schools wanting private to be out of the bottom classes as they should be, and the privates threatening lawsuits if that’s forced upon them. My guess is things will stay the same as they are. It’s my understanding that...

    Why do you reel left and right handed?

    Casting with your right hand, then having to change rod hands to also reel with your right hand has always seemed counterintuitive to me. All of my casting rods whether spinning or bait cast are left hand reel. For cranking/trolling it doesn't really matter although I still prefer left hand for...

    What will you do different this ice fishing season?

    I plan to spend a few more nights on the ice in my pop-up this year. I did it for the first time last year and it was pretty cool being the only person on a random lake all night. I plan to do it on some more popular lakes early before the ice castle army hits and then later on lakes...

    A Woman Walks Into a Bar

    If your going to illegally own a wild animal, probably don't be an idiot and bring it to a bar for attention. It sounds like even after she was asked to leave she still walked around with it for a bit and then tried to evade authorities when they were looking for her and the coon. Play stupid...

    (Poll) Fall: Hunting or Fishing?

    I wish I did more fall fishing because I love the lack of crowds and cool days, but Oct and Nov are really the only months I put the rods down to focus on hunting. I can see myself trending more toward fishing those months as I get older though. I used to hunt Sep-Dec.

    `/*%$ taxes

    Nope, sports are a money losing endeavor. UND Hockey and NDSU football are the only sports in the entire state that generate a profit and its not much, and they have to be selling out every home game. When it comes to high school sports I'm not entirely sure how much they cost the tax payers...
