    Trophy Hunting:. Killing or Conservation

    It's true that I don't need to hunt to eat. but I do eat everything I shoot. Enjoy finding recipes that enhance the flavor of game. I'm also a trophy hunter, it's just that my measurement of the trophy is the hunt. How the animal was taken, who was involved in the hunt, the conversation, the...

    Trophy Hunting:. Killing or Conservation

    There are all kinds of guided hunts. I've been on a few and enjoyed every minute of them. I am also of the age where a DIY hunt isn't as easy as it once was. Age is creeping up so having a horse to ride in helps immensely. Not interested in owning a horse to use for hunting once every few years...

    Trolling with Spoons

    50+ years ago when I first started fishing, tackle boxes were much smaller. Assorted DareDevles in a variety of sizes and colors, a couple lazy Ikes was about all you needed. If you were in the upper class (16ft boat w/25hp instead of 14ft w/10hp), you might have also had a couple Flatfish. The...

    Lilac advice

    Planted a few in my backyard many years ago. They were about 3' apart. Plenty close as they can really spread out. Love the smell of them in the spring when blooming. Seems to me that they are fairly easy to get going. Once established they can get pretty big. Didn't keep mine trimmed very well...

    MPG towing the boat

    2018 Chev that when I bought it loved the mileage. 20+ on the highway at 70mph if the wind wasn't to bad. Then I hooked a trailer and it wasn't close. 10-13 as above, dependent on the wind. For me it doesn't seem to make much difference whether it's 60mph or 70mpn. Have a friend who had the same...

    Fingerprint gun safes

    No experience with that type of safe but I hope they work better than the fingerprint access on my phone. That was very questionable whether the phone was going to open.

    Native Treaty Rights

    Various treaties were agreed upon by the government and tribes. Are all parts of those treaties being followed or only the part that benefits either party? For example: Did some tribes agree to be able to hunt certain lands forever if they would agree to live on reservations? At the time of the...

    Amazon River Piranha Fishing

    I've never caught a stingray but I was fishing on the east coast one time in a river that varied from fresh water to saltwater depending on the movement of the tide. We were fishing an inlet that emptied into the ocean. About 50 yds away a guy began to play a big fish. It didn't take long and it...

    Amazon River Piranha Fishing

    Not sure I would have tried the worm. Will eat a lot of things but that didn't even look good to me. Failed to see the thrill of fishing for piraña. More like fishing for stunted perch. Would have been interesting to see what of fish was lost. Appeared to be a big fish but never saw of no...

    HB1286 reforming asset forfeiture laws

    Had no idea this was a problem. Never been an issue for me so never paid any attention. How often has someone innocent of any crime had to forfeit their property? I guess all I know is when I see an ad for the G&F having an annual auction to sell confiscated outdoor equipment. Just assumed all...

    2019 M6 Moose

    Worked up the energy to look up the M6 unit. Holy Moly you have a lot of territory to look over. Biggest unit in the state it appears to me but I'm sure you will find a moose with the proper amount of time put in and hooking up with enough contacts. My experience with moose is that most people...

    2019 M6 Moose

    Don't know where M6 is located and am too lazy right now to look it up on G&F website. Have been along on many moose hunts. Scouting at this time IMO is more about finding where moose like to hang out, more than finding a specific bull, and making contact with landowners who may be able to help...

    Dept of Ag Sec. Purdue and DU

    That initiative hurt DU big time in ND. Sportsmen and landowners alike were pretty much in agreement that the initiative was not good for ND. For duck hunters it's hard to argue that what DU's basic goal of raising more ducks is not good for waterfowl hunters. If a duck lands on a farmers...

    Big 3 Results are Out.

    Drew cow elk in E2. Have hunter elk out of state and shot my share of bulls. Decided to increase my odds in ND and hunt a cow. Worked out and it will still be an experience. Will now know if they taste any different than a bull if successful. Moose gratis are also different than elk in that...

    Dept of Ag Sec. Purdue and DU

    I'm confused. Where in the article does it say anything about how DU is involved in the soybean trade issue. Or, where does it tie Perdue with DU. I also used to be a member of DU until they tried to fund the organization with oil tax dollars. Firm believer that such organizations should be...

    2019 deer license numbers going up

    I obviously don't travel the entire state. In my part of the state, north central, I'm seeing more deer over the winter than I have for the past several years. Compared to the SE part of ND we have had less snow and actually not that bad of winters the past couple years. Surprisingly I have seen...

    TR 'Library', Yea or Nay?

    From what I'm reading someone has the wrong idea of a Presidential Library. The ones I have been too aren't libraries in the sense of what your school or public library is. I would class them more as a museum or a history of that president's life. I find them extremely interesting to visit and...

    Need to build an approach, suggestions?

    Concrete is good but it's like the guy who wanted to sell me shingles with a 50-year warranty. I was 65 at the time. I went with the cheaper 30-year warranty. One thing I do know about culverts is that no matter the amount of water, you want at least an 18" diameter and preferably a 24". Smaller...
