    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    Well My birthday is within 2 years or less of yours and I vividly remember sitting out in the field with our neighbor guy in early season and getting a poke at a doe over a pair of shooting sticks. Outside of missing, where we were hunting and it being like 80 degrees, I don't remember any other...

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    I've hunted the youth deer season over the past 5 years with my own kids friends kids. The one week season is dumb, especially in the middle of September, but it is what it is. Hunting deer when it's 85 degrees out is ridiculous. You have a better chance of catching West Nile and a sunburn...

    Pike Bite

    Those don't work on pike. Their lower jaw is too soft and they just tear out. I love mine when cranking for walleye to keep the cranks out of the net though.

    Water headed for Sakakawea?

    I would be willing to digress a little further even. Much of the snowpack that accumulated in that basin this year came very very very late. I would have to look back at the snowtel and check totals and dates but we skipped another trip out west this year to ride sled because during the prime...

    Used fiberglass boat questions

    I owned a 2000 1895 SC with a 2005 225 Opti and it would flirt with 60 mph. Great hull and fantastic fishing layout. Most of the Optimax issues were resolve by 2003 not that it matters with regard to the OP.

    Boat Title

    The boat situation is a bit goofy and has been for as long as I've been buying boats. Everything else, even UTV/ATVs and Snowmobiles go through the NDDOT so they are all title. Boats get handled by the Game & Fish and don't have a title unless you buy them new and then get the MSO for the...

    Cost of owning stuff

    I filled up the sleds, truck, wife's car and kind of drained down my 500 gal tank and ordered 500 gals yesterday kinda hedging the price assuming its going to get worse before it gets better. This is when having a 1,000 or 2,500 gallon tank would be nice. I like the 500 because it's always...

    Boat windshield cover

    you have two options, truXedo and Flackjacket. I use a truXedo without issue however I've been told the FlackJacket is a fair bit nicer but also comes with a higher price tag.

    Branson Tractors

    Deere has options but you'll pay $20k more for a new machine equally equipped. Kubota used to be the best when it came to value vs durability but they've raised prices enough so that they aren't that far from Deere. There a bunch of other brands, they are all nice however the thing to be aware...

    Christensen Arms

    6.5 PRC shooting 147 ELDM's One thing I liked about the Fierce was the 1/2 MOA guarantee. With that said mine shoots really well. I have no idea how they are to deal with if you need warranty or you had a gun that wouldn't group.

    Christensen Arms

    I wanted a light weight long range rifle for my arsenal a couple of years ago. Looked at CA amongst others and ended up buying a Fierce Firearms CT Edge. Was a little skeptical because the price was rivaling a custom built rig. Took about 3-4 months to get after I ordered it. I topped it with a...

    Smooth move seats.

    That's just plainly being ignorant................................ Any suspension seat base is better than nothing at all. If your budget only affords smooth moves (SM), then so be it. They do a fine job and most will be glad they have them. Some suspension systems are certainly better than...

    Youth Shotgun reviews and comparison

    As my kids grew of age to start shotgunning a couple years ago I went through this exact situation in the quest for a good youth gun. I always thought the youth nova's and 870s were like a tractor, they get the job done but do so in a crude way; they kick like a mule; and they still cost $400+...

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    To be honest, I was only trying to match and build a giant version of the actual "Sewer Skewer". I spent some time on their web-site looking at there different products and extensions and decided to build my own out of better material and larger/longer. I assumed the sewer skewer has closed ends...

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    I capped mine just like the sewer skewer and then drilled holes through the horizontal section of the T. Very similar to the sewer skewer. Because of how corrosive H2S gas is, I used heavier copper, soldered al the joints and ran two stainless self screws in at each joint for insurance...

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    not always, just came in the house after climbing the ladder to dump hot water down our east vent to thaw it out. Used one of the original sewer skewers with no luck, then a year later tried the insul-vent from menards, maybe better but still had issues. This year installed a 12 ft copper tee to...
