    Whose has the better tasting walleye

    Honestly, walleye are bland from both lakes. I love to fish, but can't really think of more over-rated table fare. Walleye fillets are just the delivery method for batter, breading, butter, spice with VERY little flavor of their own - what I enjoy most about a fish fry, is trying to rehydrate...

    elk pack out

    Just weighed my 8 day pack - 52# without my bow or any water. My pack to spike in 3 days into the badlands is just over 30 pounds. Again, no bow and water included here.

    new tires

    Bought Goodyear wrangler ats with Kevlar. No complaints other than $$ so far - my factory slicks lasted 25,000 and that was pushing it...

    Toyota Tacomas

    Thanks for the input fellas - never been a Ford guy - they're all nice - just not my thing. Shopping for the right deal - I'll beat it as much as possible and then give it to my boys when they're old enough. Any dealership recommendations?

    Toyota Tacomas

    Ok - here's the deal. I've almost always had a diesel pickup to pull the toys around - camper, boat, skid steer, whatever and just seen the replacement for my vehicle is nearly 85k. This is crazy, so I'm thinking of adding a run around car/pickup that would work for quick badlands trips, run to...

    Ulterra Owners???

    Ultrex is the single best motor I've ever owned. I've had ulterras, Terrovas, xi5' and a handful of power drives. This thing is in a league of its own. Went through three ulterras last year alone, that motor has ruined more good fishing than children and marriage.

    AIM Devils Lake

    Big weights on the devil this year! One would have to think an October tournament would see a 40#/5 fish daily bag.... The goal always used to be 20# a day and you'd have a legit chance at winning, now 40# barely makes the top ten. we've had some impressive walleye opportunities across the...

    Deer Feeders

    Also - careful with the pickup idea...embarrassing, but I've had my share of bad luck here. A few years back, the fall harvest was really slow because it was so wet, I thought it would be a good idea to drive my pickup out to a farmer friend and he could fill it right out of the grain cart...

    Deer Feeders

    Showing my true colors here, bought a gravity wagon and cruise that into the elevator.... despite all my "cheating" according to the purists, I have enough unused bow tags to wall-paper most bathrooms. I've only punched one in the last 9 years...

    Only one I've had success with long term is the boss buck products. I bought from bass pro

    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    Part of the game my friends - farmers lay a lot of the line, and most of it is out of their control, but anyone that's hurting financially after the last 10 years is just completely dumb, or has had a terrible run of luck. Bankers can also kiss my ___! If they lended too much, why bail them...

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    Benefits a few investors, potentially ruins a large number of residences... you'd be hard pressed to find a worse location. Now, I'm all for land owners rights, but there is NO way this is a benefit for any neighbor or for the greater devils lake area. Very few jobs, little tax basis change...

    Huk rain gear

    I'll echo Kurtr here - a week in the mountains requires good stuff. Kuiu and first lite work as well in the boat as they do on horseback.

    Walleye wings

    Every time! (Cheeks too). Lots of meat and they're a great novelty food!! The older I get - the more important it's become for me to take everything possible from the critters I kill. I know - strange - but it's the truth. Besides that - there never seems to be any left over!!

    Devil's suggestions?

    We tried fishing bobbers on a little hump in 15-16' last night towards Fort Totten Bay with 3 kids in the boat - ages 4, 2, and 9 months... I couldn't keep three rods in the water, the action was insane. We fished from 7ish to 8:30 and landed no less than 50 fish. Most between 13-16", and a few...

    Suggestions: Son Needs His First Rod

    I'll second the spinning reel suggestions. I bought the zebco things thinking it would be easier and boy was I wrong. They'll tangle anything you give them and taking care of spinning gear is much easier than that closed face stuff. Have you tried to cast a 202? Ten minutes of that BS and...

    some guys have all the fun

    I don't own an x-box or anyone of those PlayStation things, but a game version similar to the old Nintendo duck hunter in this format would be damn fun. Have a plastic shot gun, some cool little AR setup with decent optics, and I would prolly become one of those "gamers" that doesn't shower and...

    Food plot planning

    I'll try to post a photo later, but my food plot is nearly 100% failure. 4.5 acres of corn and beans eaten off as sprouts. I need some population control before we'll be having much success.
