    Glacier National Park

    there's a vehicle size limit on Going to the Sun. No longer than 21 feet, no wider than 8feet. My crew cab dually pickup, even without the camper, is too big. Take the Red Bus tour to Logan. When you're a passenger, you can look at things other than the road and traffic. after school starts...

    pontoon speeds...

    Check out the videos of Manitou pontoons. There is/was a dealer in Garrison. I saw one on Sakakawea a few years ago, and it was impressed by its speed and agility.

    What's in your garden?

    My wife's garden has little stubby plants and fat cottontails. My neighbor to the east warned me there are "bunny huggers" in the neighborhood so don't use my pellet rifle. Someone called the cops on him.

    Firearm insurance

    Will the coverage be what local shops want for a similar used gun or the much lower price that can be found in various used gun buying guides? Stores like a much greater markup % on used than they can get for new. A big used dealer near where I live is insisting that a rifle that's worth about...

    Dealerships ads

    An easy way to determine the approximate cash value of any vehicle is by entering all the information into www.kbb.com., then pretending to want to trade it in on a new vehicle. I found this value to fall between what my bank and my insurance company said a vehicle was worth. The difference...

    New Truck Gear

    I've always thought if I were to buy a topper it would be one of the steel ones contractors use. Less stylish, a lot more secure, and you can actually add a top rack and carry things up there.

    New Truck Gear

    If you have lockers both front and rear, you'll need a friendly farmer with a 4X4 tractor to rescue you.

    New Truck Gear

    If it's a 4X4 and you will be using it in winter, add a long-handled square nosed spade, a handyman jack, some coffee cans filled with sand, a tow strap, and carry your receiver hitch insert so a helpful 4X4 can pull while you spin. When the new pickup fills you with confidence, you will get...

    Flathead lake/Polson Montana

    For a real string stretching, there are large bull trout in Flathead Lake. There may even be a "no fish-no fee" guide service.

    eating devils pike...

    I haven't found the flavor of pike to change with size (walleye get "fishy" once they start adding girth over length), but the texture gets coarser with increased size. I once had "blackened" pike (look up a recipe for blackened redfish), courtesy of a summer help college student at Graham's...

    Type of action for youth .22

    I still have the bolt action, box magazine 22 my Dad bought for me when I was 9. It's a Marlin Glenfield that says Sears Roebuck on it. It is still accurate almost 61 years later. A semi auto may instill bad habits like "spray and pray" instead of deliberate shooting.

    Drift socks

    I have two. I don't much like them because of all the wet they bring into the boat when retrieved. Try drilling a 2" hole in the bottom of a strong plastic 5 gallon pail. Drill holes where the handle attaches for carabineers and the rope.If you don't like using a sea anchor (that's what a...

    ND fishing lodge. Profit or bust?

    Keep the overhead low as possible. Indian Hills is one of a very few resorts that have lasted on Sakakawea. As for DL, you'd be competing with the one on Creel Bay and even Graham's Island State Park. Remember you'll have to give up fishing to staff and maintain the place. Resort owners have...

    Worst tasting fish

    Mahi mahi is the Hawaiian name for the bright green fish also called dolphin (not the mammal). It is considered the finest tasting fish of all, but I've bought some poor stuff at grocery stores. Most fish can be tasty if they're prepared right. Drum is good if it's cooked like blackened...

    Starting Battery

    I run my depth finder off ONE of my deep cycle batteries that power my electric trolling motor. Just don't hook it up to the whole 24V circuit.

    Scope reticles?

    My BDC reticles have hash marks instead of circles. For game hunting I like a fairly heavy reticle, even in the center. It's easier to see in low light. For varmints, I like a fine center.

    Dies

    For brass that doesn't need to be full-length resized to fit into the chamber, I have taken a liking to Lee collet dies. For full-length sizing I'd prefer a die with an elliptical expander button, but I'm not going to buy another whole set to get the smoother expansion. I think Hornady or...

    hunting bullets for 308 winchester

    I don't have a 308, but I hunt with both a 300 Savage and a 30-06 so I have the 308 bracketed. Use whatever is accurate in your rifle and gives you confidence. At 308 velocities, ordinary cup and core bullets perform well on deer and black bear. Remember since the 308/30-06 are the most...

    Gas power washer??? Which one to buy?

    This is one of the items that Northern Tool does well. Check them out before buying anything. Their Fargo store also services what they sell and even competitors washers.

    It becomes addictive

    I first reloaded in 1967. Over the years, I've been known to buy a different brand of bullets so I could find an accurate hand load when I already had a perfectly good one for that rifle. Why do I have rifles in both 257 Roberts and 6.5X55 Skan Mauser? That's like owning both a 270 and a 280...
