    Sportsmen and women- be mindful out there. ESPECIALLY this year

    Yep, it's always easier to blame younger generations. I'm sure when we were 18 years old our parents were so proud of how well all the kids are behaved. If I heard it once I heard it a million times when I was in high school "The kids today are the best. So kind and caring. And I'm so amazed...

    Gun and/or reloading issues. Need help.

    Unless I got them mixed up, they were in a bag that I had marked as "Shot 1x". So this would have been the second firing with this brass. - - - Updated - - - As far as accuracy, it's possible that there is something wrong with the gun/scope and is separate from the brass issue. The scope is...

    Gun and/or reloading issues. Need help.

    I checked the casings before they were fired and they were fine. It happened on two of the 15 shots I fired on Friday.

    Gun and/or reloading issues. Need help.

    I have a 6mm bolt action and reload my own ammo. I don't do a lot of reloading but I believe I know mostly what I'm doing. For the last several years I have been using a recipe that works for my gun and haven't changed it. I went out to sight in my rifle a couple of weeks ago and my groups...

    Thoughts on recurves?

    Definitely get something with a low draw weight for his girlfriend. I would suggest 15 pounds. Its a lot more fun starting out with something lighter.

    Rock Pigeons

    Funny you mention this subject. Just shot some this weekend along with morning doves and eurasian doves. Pigeon tastes just fine. Don't know why people freak out about eating one kind of bird and are just fine with another. Ducks quite often live in filthy, shitty water and people claim they...

    What kind of fish are these?

    Interesting answers. I've asked a number of people and can't get a definitive answer but most say they are both rainbow. I just didn't know that rainbows could look so different. I've never liked the taste of trout or salmon caught in North Dakota and so I'll smoke them. However salmon from...

    What kind of fish are these?

    Also, look at the difference in teeth: - - - Updated - - - We thought one was a rainbow and one maybe a cutthroat but the cutthroat doesn't have the distinctive red marking. So maybe a cutbow trout which is a cross of the two - - - Updated - - - They were caught on jigs and minnow. Had...

    Big Fish vs Big Critter

    I have hunted and fished for over forty years. I have never gotten a trophy walleye. I have taken what I call a trophy buck, about 162, but it was complete luck that I found it. To catch or shoot those trophies consistently is definitely a skill that takes patients, time and usually money...

    Can anyone help a gal deer hunting?

    First off, if your gonna lecture about putting in the time and effort to find a spot to hunt then quit reading here. Don't need that lecture. I have a very nice young gal that I work with who really wants to go deer hunting. She has zero hunting experience and either does her dad who may go...

    What mushroom is this?

    Found these several places in Bismarck today. I don't know if I've seen them before.

    Morel Mushroom

    I regularly eat puffballs and shaggy mane which are commonly found in North Dakota. Both are good. Lots of shaggy mane in Bismarck right now.

    Which wild game meat tastes the best?

    To each their own but after one year of eating moose, I have to say it is the best. Tastes like grass fed beef. I shot cottontail earlier in the year. It was very, very good. Just make sure that when cleaning cottontail that it doesn't pee on the meat. That gave it a flavor for sure.

    state record walleye

    Or if you're not cynical you could say they don't have enough evidence to convict but they do have enough evidence that they don't have to put it in the record books because they unofficially keep the records of fish. There is no law about what fish are records. The GNF makes their own rules...

    state record walleye

    Why let him keep it if they believed it might have been snagged? I'm no attorney but I'm guessing that the evidence wasn't there to prove in court that he did snag it, thus being illegal. But a walleye record isn't determined in court so they don't need that kind of evidence. They had enough...

    Wife needs help. Need ideas

    That flooring would work with different color trim and cabinet color. If you like the flooring color, just paint the trim and cabinet or at least the trim. Wood color trim is out anyway.

    Ground blind question

    ^^^ That does make a lot of sense. I think I tend to overthink things and make it more complicated than it needs to be.

    Ground blind question

    I will be doing hunting on public land and was thinking of getting a ground blind for bow hunting. I also want one for rifle season. Do any of you have success setting up a blind and hunting the same day in it using a bow? I really don't want to leave it up on public land. It would be in...
