    The Water Cooler

    I think I've maybe met two of you in person, but I like this place. Full of schlubs just like me. Guys who work hard, play hard, and maybe hunt and fish more than they should. Far from me to be the downer, but other than my wife I have very few folks to vent to. I'd like to start a thread...

    Great science series

    Possibly he's doing the whole "talk to text" thing and when he said "few" it came up "view."

    Zebra Mussels Discovered in Twin Lakes

    Weirdly enough, I went to Ottertail Lake for the 4th of July to visit relatives. Figured it would be un-swimmable due to all the zebra mussels. Hardly saw a single one. Not sure if they go in boom/bust cycles like other critters, or if they're doing something to mitigate the numbers. I...

    Crappie is sorta crappy

    I'll trade you gills for crappies, straight up!

    Crappie is sorta crappy

    I much prefer crappie over bluegills, for taste and texture. I've found if any fish gets mushy, it's usually because you're either: A) frying in too low of oil temp; or B) not frying long enough.

    Deer Lottery Deadline

    I suppose laziness is part of it. I think the other part is folks (like myself) have maybe hunted family land or the same land for generations. These areas may not be more popular and/or have fewer deer than the past, so getting a tag isn't sure thing. I didn't say what I said to be...

    Deer Lottery Deadline

    Nothing for me again. But should have a good shot with 2 points next year in the unit I apply. I may actually apply for one of the units with extra tags. Boy...7,900 extra tags still out there. What's that say about the ND landscape and deer populations compared to accessible hunting land and...

    Divorced Dads

    Kill 'em with kindness. Your daughters are at an age where they're likely hormonal, easy to manipulate, and will sway readily toward whomever does what they want. Unfortunately, your ex is in their ears. Funny thing is, eventually she's going to say or do something they don't like, and they'll...

    It's hot

    I hate heat. This stuff is plain oppressive. And if you ever hear me complain about the cold, you can flick me in the forehead. I'm that odd duck that relishes cold October and November days that greet you with frosted cattails, and tease snow on the wind. I've always said, it's easy to add...

    It's hot

    It's blast-furnace hot. I think it hit 102 here, and the forecast for the next 10 days is 90 and above. Time to blow up the kiddie pool and drink some Blue Nums until Monday.

    Smart thermostat

    Honeywell 9000 WiFi stat. Will give you alerts if you're away on vacation in the winter and the furnace takes a crap and your ambient temp drops too low. Allows you to call the local HVAC service team to get over and save your pipes from freezing. Plus the Honeywell app is really easy to use...

    NDGF: Steinwand Retiring

    Just wait until the next drought, and all the farmers who used this lengthy wet period to rip out tree rows, burn sloughs and drain every drop off water off their land, are crying in their beers as their topsoil blows into the next county. It's already happening. It's amazing how short-sighted...

    NDGF: Steinwand Retiring

    BISMARCK – The director of the North Dakota Game and Fish Department is retiring after more than 15 years at the helm. Terry Steinwand took over leadership of the agency when he was appointed by then-Gov. John Hoeven in 2006. He began his career with Game and Fish in 1982 as a fisheries...

    Mn Fishing Opener

    They taste like mud because that bay is nothing but mud.

    Mn Fishing Opener

    I've crossed off that bumper-boat shit show years ago. Used to do it annually, but just kind of lost its luster. I like to wait a couple weeks until the shiners run and the boat parade dwindles. Usually a lot better weather and more consistent fishing.

    Electronic Posting

    I asked this question on FB when the GNF made the post regarding the law change. BLEW ME AWAY. So you're going to make it even more difficult to access land?? And how does that make sense, wherein a physical post needs to have name and number, but electronic ONLY needs a name?? Unreal. They...

    Monster's Lurk~

    Funny enough, my Grandpa Ray grew up north of the Twin Cities near the St. Croix River. His mom would send him and his brothers down regularly to catch fish for supper. He said his favorite by far was sturgeon. And this is a guy who later on in life spent his days fishing for crappies on a cold...
