    E Bikes

    I haven't followed it that closely, so could be off, but it seemed like the use of them on federal land restricting motorized vehicles was a grey area that came down to interpretation of the current laws. Seemed some interpreted the "pedal assist" variety would be accepted while the throttle...

    Non-resident deer tags

    You will never get an honest number, but don't overlook the wound/kill/unrecovered amount. I hear of plenty of this and can only guess the additional amount that never get talked about. It cant be ignored for management of mule deer archery tags. There are plenty of opportunities to sling...

    Non-resident deer tags

    Exactly If you don't like it, voice your opinion at the town hall meetings NDGF holds and talk to your local ND legislature reps. Anyone know when this law was put into place? Without any further facts, gut feel it seems years ago many of these "any deer" tags were purchased by a mix of...

    Garmin, deal or no deal.

    Also Cabelas has some 10% codes out there right now so try to find one of those if you are buying...

    Maceration for European Mounts

    Im not sure I see any time savings of this maceration method vs boiling. You have to have a tub of water large enough for 9 deer and then monitor the water temp for 4-6 months?? Go buy a galvanized tub that is large enough for 3 deer skulls and put it over propane burner. Do it in 3 batches...

    Advanced Sausage Making

    Ill agree with the others that you must be getting it too hot in either the smoking process or final cooking process. I know everyone's preference and tastes are different but 60 pork/40 venison should not be even close to dry. I prefer that ratio switched around and never have a problem or...

    Badlands mule deer

    I'm not sure how you interpreted my response, but I want to be clear that I could not care less if someone wants to just fill the freezer or hold out for the Booner'. I really don't care what people do with their tag. The point I was trying to make relates to the difficulty of drawing the...

    Badlands mule deer

    I share some agreement in this, but I do believe this has changed in the last 5 years and it doesn't really hold true anymore with the topic of badlands mule deer. Why would a meat hunter apply for mule deer buck in the badlands and only draw a tag every 4-8 years? If you are just after any...

    Badlands mule deer

    This surprises me and has not been my experience over the last 5 years including archery and rifle seasons covering south part of 4E to north part of 4B and areas in between. Lots of road traffic and pressure close to the road during archery season. However, come rifle season I have seen people...

    Badlands mule deer

    Like most things I think its an "all of the above" situation. Can debate all you want about what each potential reason is the worst. Are more deer shot and killed (including wounded or not recovered animals) during archery season than ever before... yes Is there increased pressure on public...

    Blenders~

    Picked up a Vitamix certified reconditioned Next Gen straight from Vitamix website about a month ago. They had some sale and total was $300ish shipped. Im pretty sure 3-4 years ago this model was about $500-$600. I found they like to charge a premium for the "programs". This is where you hit...

    New fishing boat Yar Craft

    One mans con is another’s pro and boat design is all about compromises so keep that in mind. All three manufactures you mentioned are quality. I assume the comparable boats are the Pro Guide and Competitor. Some things to think about. I think the 75hp max is underpowered. Guys have more gear...

    Boot Review - Scheels Crispi Summit

    Anyone try the Crispi Titan GTX? It is exclusive to Midway USA. Can’t find any reviews on them but they seem to be somewhat equivalent to the Guide GTX but one step lower in stiffness and I think the leather is a bit thinner. Both of these differences saves some weight. Also $150 cheaper...

    Aluminum parts for ice house

    I have been looking at the skid house market for a few years now. Have any of you asked if these builders would custom build the bottom frame /sled portion? I still see all these guys are building them like and old toboggan. Just 2-3 skinny skis. Why hasn’t someone actually designed one to go...

    changing nonresident bow season

    I didn't make it out west for the opener this year, but also heard from some they have never seen so many hunters and MN and WI plates out there. My opinion... One needs to look at the larger picture and understand why this is an issue. Even larger than just ND. If there was enough access and...

    Nitro zv18, ranger 619 or 620

    Out of those no question, get the 620. Best resale out of the bunch, best ride, more room... etc. it is also the most expensive. I guess what I’m getting at is it’s hard to compare a zv18 to a 620. Size wise the 619 is more comparable to the zv18 however you don’t see many available on the...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Don't have any large plantings, but have put in about 150 conifers of various sizes and species. Meyers, Black Hills, Norway, Blue Spruces and Scotch and Ponderosa Pines. I don't have them in rows so I put in a drip system of 3/4", 1/2", and 1/4" diameter tubing over 2.2 ac and the 1/4" tubing...
