    Youth Deer Season

    Took my boys out today for their first deer hunts. Well, actually ALL of our first deer hunts - I didn't grow up doing it and now at 42 I'm in it with them! Did all the work together - research, scouting, cams, gear, and safety. Picked a spot and went to sit this afternoon. On the walk...

    Wild Plums

    I stumbled into a very large stand of wild plums yesterday, ready for pickin'. Went back tonight and got 10 gallons of them. Plenty more if I need them! I can do my own research and find a jelly recipe but wondering if anyone has one they'd recommend. What else do people do with them...

    Magnet Fishing

    I guess my kids don't hold my real fishing skills in high regard so they bought me a magnet fishing kit for Father's Day. They watch too many YouTube videos of people finding treasure I think, but it should be a fun way to spend some hours with them! Anyone else have experience doing this? I...

    Father's Day

    Happy Father's Day to all out there with kids and grandkids! Make sure to think of the good times for those whose Dad's are no longer with them. Mine passed three years ago - I took his boat out after some walleye yesterday to spend a little time with him!

    Deer Lottery Deadline

    Ice Fishing Is Over

    Who else got caught off guard by it being done? I got busy with kids stuff this past 3 weeks and suddenly realized my ice time is over when I went to the landing on Saturday! Time to get the boat ready I guess! Got hunter's safety under our belt this weekend so that's a plus....I sat through...

    Boneless Northern Help

    I'm looking for how you guys fillet northerns to come out with boneless fillets. I've watched a bunch of videos and tried a few different methods. Latest was the "5 fillet" way - didn't come out boneless. Had bones in both the top and tail sections, so 3 of the 5 pieces. I'm an experienced...

    Smitty Sled

    I do a fair amount of walk-out ice fishing trips and now that we have snow my gear is hard to pull in the Otter sled. Amongst a few other mods, I'm contemplating something a smitty sled similar to the video. Ability to breakdown would be preferred I would think.... Anyone else run one? Other...

    Ice Fishing Boots and Socks

    What's everyone wearing to keep their feet warm while on the ice? Looking for boot and sock suggestions. I'm tired of my feet being cold. I currently own some Columbia Bugaboots that are light weight but aren't very warm. I'm looking at these...

    Big Buddy Cooking Ideas

    I've seen mods on other sites, but wondering what folks here do to turn their Big Buddy into a cooking machine! I've flipped the grate around but had to support with wire - mine wanted to rotate down. There have to be better options out there. And I'm not sold at all on the "Flex" - seems...

    Elite 7 HDI Ice Fishing

    I've got an unused Elite 7 HDI that I'm going to set up for ice fishing this year. Does anyone else have experience using one on hard water? If so, what are your thoughts? I've done my research on transducer, settings, and power. However, I'm struggling to find many cases that will work...

    Pressure Washing Satisfaction

    Ahhhh......Not sure there are a whole lot of things more satisfying than pressure washing, especially when the results are astounding. Just finished the top of the pop-up and it went from black to white again. Only regret is that I didn't think to carve "NDA" and snap a picture haha. Of...

    WTH are these?

    Was digging around in the garden today and found these.....thought they were bulbs but to my surprise they moved in my hand when I went to show the kids. I think I know what they are, but wondering if you do?

    Potatoes - Hill or no?

    I planted potatoes in the garden this year and want to hear what others do. I've read you should hill them as they grow to get more potatoes. Do you do this? I planted some in pots last year and didn't add dirt - didn't get many potatoes. Also, can I add wood mulch over the top after...

    Metigoshe State Park

    We're contemplating camping at Metigoshe State Park in June. Me, wife, and 13 and 10 year old boys. Just looking for thoughts from the gallery on things to do in the area or at the park....I've heard good things about fishing and I see there are some hiking trails. Wanted to hear from some...

    Pheasants 2020

    Seems like the birds had a good go of it this winter in eastern ND. A fair amount of corn still up provided food and lots of cover. I've been driving quite a bit of gravel to hit some river fishing spots and I'm seeing good numbers of roosters - and roosters chasing hens - everywhere I go...

    Snowrona

    Well, can't go out because of Corona, couldn't if I wanted to thanks to ice and snow, and power has been out a few times throughout the day in the house! We are truly confused on what we're supposed to do? Snowmobile, soccer, snow blow, basketball???? Board games it is! What is everyone...
