    yeah I really hope he can avoid Cleveland. but I know he will make the best of his opportunity. manziel had a golden ticket to life and drizzeled it down his leg along with a lot of expensive booze. san diego or dallas would be a good place to learn. makes a guy wonder if goff and the rest...

    Braving the ice

    haha, we had marinated ourselves a tad by the time we noticed it so im sure I put a few gallons of pressurized hot water onto the same spot a few times. noticed a small whirlpool where the water was draining back down and it took us all a few minutes to realize that's where I had been pissing. a...

    Braving the ice

    walked out in SC ND. Ice was pretty good yet. around 12-14 of solid blue ice. by the end of the day it had up to 3 inches of water in spots. water was draining back into the holes. kinda sketched out when my original pee spot somehow managed to cut through the ice and started a drain hole for...

    Spring Snows

    haha we've played the teeter totter game for enough years with these front edge bastards. actually the guys I hunt with call it "just the tip" because we end up getting birds staging just across the border and with the teeter totter weather they come into ND and retreat just as quickly. I agree...

    Spring Snows

    canadas are on the move big time today. didn't see any snows while out fishing today. did see a couple flocks of specks though. they may move a little tomorrow but with a strong wnw wind probably nothing earth shattering. . . will be interesting to see how the cold snap affects any birds near...

    Spring Snows

    was on the ice this afternoon an hour or so east and maybe a touch south and a lot of big cans where moving at sundown. a few squeakers mixed in but not a ton. I hear what you're saying dean but IMHO I think itll play out like the past years. birds will push past 212 tomorrow and hole up...

    Spring Snows

    that's because they tend to stage up somewhere southeast of you kurt. if you can find where they stage up for a period of time and catch a few heavy north winds it can be good. but in most years they push threw our area in a matter of two days. - - - Updated - - - also there migration route is...

    Spring Snows

    the wc birds all keep together though so there is no separation between juvys and adults. I've never seen a straight juvy flock west of hwy 14. I've played the 65 degree south wind day with these wcf birds and I'll bow out it after years of bashing my head against the wall. if they ride the...

    Spring Snows

    I wouldn't doubt we see a few flocks poking around by Saturday either, looking for open water. anything that come into nd this weekend will likely go back south at night. keep in mind there is a big temperature gradient from west to east this year. I think Aberdeen was only 33 yesterday while...

    sick of not drawing!

    then add the fact that a lot of the units out west are limited quota meaning western states know how to manage deer and hunters. kinda like our. . . . ah nevermind what the hell was I thinking. I got a crisp $20 that says with this mild winter they over do the tags again next year to appease...

    sick of not drawing!

    Spring Snows

    no one said birds wont be killed. just saying your not going to see as many koolaid drinker pile pics like in years with big hatches. it may take more than a few hundred rags and a do er" attitude this year. guys who put in there time will still have success it just may be smaller shoots than he...

    Spring Snows

    sak u hunt snows much? last year was one of the worst hatches ever. less young birds in the flock means a higher percentage of old birds. do i need to explain it anymore than that. some of these old breeders are pushing 20 plus years old. decoying will not be easy this spring. my advice is if...

    Waterfowl Season Setting Process Changing

    It is a land access issue. MN has pretty good populations of both ducks and Canada geese. go up to LOW in oct-nov or Fergus or Rochester and you can check it out for yourself. there issue isn't a lack of waterfowl completely it is a lack of opportunity on those waterfowl. maybe we can give them...

    Arrested

    I've worked around a lot of them and one thing I cannot deny is a good portion of them are very hard workers. there hard work ethic and speed at completeing jobs is made up however by the quality they put out. some are good but a lot are lacking on quality. you get what you pay for I guess. a...

    Arrested

    a few are legit American citizens. sub-contractors will "sub" there work to the legal ones, therefore washing there hands of any guilt or legal responsibility as it I not there responsibility to know who "Juan" has working for them. everyone knows it when you walk onto a jobsite with not a damn...

    Superbowl Sunday was the answer

    :D haha thanks svn, I should have added any answer from anyone would suffice, but dean seems to be in the know on all things related to water around these parts so I figured he would know. surprisingly the guy is pretty accurate on his water knowledge :;:cheers
