    MWA Dispanding after 52 years

    The Des Moines Water Works actually attempted to sue three northern districts because of how bad the downstream water quality was. A judge threw it out and said it was up to the legislature to decide. In a grossly agricultural state like Iowa, who do you think lines their pockets?? Clearly...

    Numbers are in: Up, Up, Up

    We already do! You smart sumbitches capped your NR duck hunters numbers a while back and all the rest come here for some damn reason. Makes no earthly sense.

    MWA Dispanding after 52 years

    Basically nonexistent here in the east. Nothing but pigeons and coots. Better off going out to Gackle. Or up by Devils Lake.

    Clearly, South Dakota is still the place to be to shoot pheasants. I mean, it's pretty obvious.

    I get that when you're at zero, the only way to go is up. but I'm still excited. I think this at least gives hope for this fall and maybe more falls to come. Pheasant, Sharptail and Partridge Numbers Up Mon, 09/09/2019 North Dakota’s roadside surveys conducted in late July and August...

    MWA Dispanding after 52 years

    I know Delta sends out an annual report with just that information, as well as plans for the following year. I have to assume the others do something similar? Transparency is key to stoke confidence among the members, I'd think.

    Best conservation organizations to be a part of?

    I think they all have their pros and cons. I think Ducks Unlimited is almost "too big to fail" if that makes sense. They have so many good ol' boys with deep pockets, combined with grants and funding from all corners of the country, they're basically self-sustaining. At least that's the feeling...

    This is also what happens when you have a sharply decreasing rural population and a burgeoning urban population. And you reduce habitat and access. And you're fighting against bigger, national nonprofits that have a way of drawing more attention.

    MWA Dispanding after 52 years

    I realize this is a North Dakota site, but we have enough border hoppers (and MN transplants) where I thought this was relevent. I'll be honest: I can't remember the last time I heard of the Minnesota Waterfowl Association. When I was younger they seemed more visible, but in the past 10-plus...

    Land for Young Hunters

    I feel like there are 3-4 main contributors to ND Lock Out. And I'm 99.9 percent sure that GST is actually either an admin or moderator (or maybe even founder) of that page and actually responds to his own posts with likes and agreement. Bizarre doesn't even begin to describe the "conversation"...

    Should I or Shouldn't I submit a head.

    Aaah yes, the midgets post. NDA gold. How could I forget???

    Should I or Shouldn't I submit a head.

    Just got me thinking: Is CWD the same as Blue Tongue, or are they different?

    500hundred dollar make you hollar!!!!! Bison UND

    I hope it's at least entertaining. Keep it close. Make the fans stay through the fourth quarter. Even if UND lost in the end, making a battle out of the ordeal would be fine by me.

    Should I or Shouldn't I submit a head.

    The flipside is nobody does anything. Then CWD runs rampant and everyone is crying and moaning because nobody did anything. Catch 22?

    One ear hearing protect?

    I should clarify that I'm mostly talking waterfowl hunting. 12 gauge magnum loads are loud, and seem more so amplified off water or walls of cattails. It's nothing for me to go through a box-plus of shells just getting my six ducks (hey, it takes a while to get the rust off!). So 30-40 shots...

    One ear hearing protect?

    So I've heard a theory that your gun-facing ear takes a lot more brunt of the damage than the ear on the other side of your head. I have electronic ear muffs, but I hate wearing them. Even though they are low profile, I find my cheek stays too high off the stock and my shooting suffers. I also...

    SB 2315 - Database Study Comm Mtg 8/26

    I honestly believe this will be a landowner's worst nightmare. Trespassing will get worse. Think about it this way: There are, what, 12 wardens for the entire state of North Dakota? Each one is charged with covering hundreds of square miles of land. Landowners must police themselves (i.e...

    SB 2315 - Database Study Comm Mtg 8/26

    What I want to know is the number of trespass violations during hunting seasons compared to trespass violations over the entire year. THAT would be telling, since this apparently is such a monumental problem that we have to completely upend the entire system in order to get a handle on it. My...

    Early Fall?

    Or an obscure porn title.

    Early Fall?

    I'm sure this is "normal" but August sure seemed cooler/more moderate than what I perceive as "normal." Plus, we started getting mice in our garage about 2 weeks ago. Caught 5 in 10 days. They typically don't start until September-ish. I suppose the joke will be 80s all through October, then...
