Been drinkin' since 2 and came to a few realizations.....
1. I have WAY TO MUCH STUFF and need to pass it along to some young bucks just starting out.
2. I have NO WAY OF KNOWING who might need the aforementioned "STUFF".
3. I'm in no need of some youngsters money, so my stuff will be...
In the last few years dealing with youngsters and hunting in MN, I've come to realize that VERY FEW of those that deer hunt know how to skin and butcher a deer, let alone a cow, hog, or other big critter. Most seem to take their deer to a locker to be processed. Many know how to breast out a...
I didn't understand before, but I do now. To leave your families behind and travel to a foreign land to fight, to be in fear for your life, to sweat, to cry, to bleed, to watch your brothers die and not know when it was going to be your turn, to mourn their loss, to return home to a different...
Some fellow NDA'ers helped me build an 8X8 wheelchair accessible blind awhile back and with bow season only 6 weeks away, I thought I'd better get organized so here goes. If someone fits this description, or knows about someone like this that's looking for a place to kill a deer, contact me...
I thought I'd put some good stuff up here for us to tip our hats to and celebrate!! My beautiful bride and I have been married for 20 years now!! I don't know how she does it. I can't thank her enough. I love that woman with everything I have or ever will have. She's given me a beautiful...
I'll apologize right up front. This is a RANT. Here is an account of this evenings events at my house and it really bothered me so I thought, 'What the Hell, I'll send this to the peanut gallery on NDA." My daughter had a girl friend over tonight and as we talked, I was brought to...
Greetings NDA Community!!! Time once again to get our youngsters into the field and out of their phones and computers for a time. I have some fair to midlin deer ground that needs a few young ones to hunt it. I have a ground blind as well as a double tree stand that can hold both the hunter...
WOW!! A whole 35 cases of criminal trespass according to the NDGF released information for 2019 across the entire state. Where is this Tsunami of Trespassing we are allegedly having in ND??? Come on you members of the SB 2315 panic party, where are these armies of inconsiderate hunters...
Some of my family is big into genealogy stuff and it never fails that "we" or "they" are descended from some "royalty", nobility, or somebody famous, but can't prove it with documents or facts. Talking with other folks that do the same thing for their family, they too, all seem to have royalty...
If the following is true, I guess we can chalk one more good thing shot down by pigs, slobs, and bureaucratic money grubbing....
Greetings from Festival Headquarters
It’s with a heavy heart we announce the cancelation of the International Eelpout Festival for this season. Over the years...
We have some folks that want to paint the skulls of their trophies, but we don't know if the chemicals we use to whiten the skulls will jack up the paint over time. Any of you members of the peanut gallery have any insights into this?? Thanks in Advance!!
Just read this from the minot paper concerning proposed changes to the fishing regs........
Power told the gathering about new rules for cleaning and transporting fish. The proposed new regulation, said Power, was that “any two pieces of fish would be counted as one fish.” The reason for that...
Just came back from getting the last few items before the weather hits and saw 2 cars and a truck in the ditch on the on ramp in Valley City. It's VERY slick out here. If you don't have to travel, please don't. Be Safe Out There!!!!
Nobody in the family will be rifle hunting this year, so if there is someone that's looking for some above average deer hunting land in 2G for a youngster to take their buck, give me a shout. There are lots of bucks on the place with a fair number of 120+ deer on it and one or two 140's if your...
So I caught the "Bug" last night and by far my favorite symptom has to be the aching teeth and hair. I just CAN'T get enough of that wondrous feeling. The zingers one gets when trying to lay down or drink something is just plain fabulous. (Grrrrrrrr)
Watched a small forkhorn bird dog two does across a field like they were giving away cash on a first come first serve have to be in attendance every 5 seconds kind of way. He looked kind of desperate to be honest. He was almost wearing the closest does backside for a nose ring. Seems a bit...
I saw the thread on the youth season and realized I'm WAY behind the power curve this year. (Big Eye Roll on myself) I completely forgot to find some youth hunters. So... If anyone out there has a youth hunter and is looking for a place to hunt and wants to hunt the Valley City Area, shoot me...
Trail cam pics have been kind of fun this year as I have some really interesting racks on some of the bucks. I know these aren't the only weirdos out there, so I thought it would be fun to see some deer pics of what kind of whacked out, strange, weird, and downright goofy racks other guys are...
Just a thought here, but I wonder what this AWFUL flooding in the central states is going to do to food prices?? Lots of dead cattle and unplantable land right now that might not grow crops this year. Just a thought, but what a kick in the nuts for this nations bread basket. Be Safe!!
