    E-85 flex fuel

    Tried it in once, killed the mpg’s and it seemed kind of hard starting. Haven’t touched it since. Hard no on small engines.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    How the hell is legislators writing laws any different? It is literally yielding authority (more authority, in fact since it will be a LAW not a regulation) to someone who is less qualified to make those decisions. Comparing it to the covid response is sensationalist at best. The economy and...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    And other states ban baiting all together. Some ban rifle hunting. Some ban shooting spike bucks. So what?

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Same reason game wardens don’t write parking tickets. Not their jurisdiction.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    P Lol. If it came to that, I think that would galvanize the masses for something like an initiated measure. Their job is to manage the herd health and population for us. I think if they simply became more transparent with their end goal, it would solve a lot of problems. Do they want to manage...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    KDM I am on your side when it comes to baiting. Playing devils advocate, you can’t PROVE those bait bans did nothing to slow or limit the spread of CWD. Simply cannot be done. I agree that baiting ups your chance at a successful hunt and keeps youngsters engaged. But it’s not something you can...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I'll play that game. Show me definitive proof that the baiting regs are causing harm. Solid, science-backed numbers. I've already stated my solution. A government hearing where G&F officials are forced to defend their position. A regulation is much easier overturned than a law.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I'll go on record and say again, I am all for baiting. Done it. Don't care if others do it. I am against legislators writing new laws that take management powers from the G&F and put them in their own hands.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    And this is where I always knew we would end up. My property rights blah blah blah. Sorry you live in America, and owning land doesn't mean you get to write your own laws. I have yet to see what property rights are under attack in ND. Hopefully those blessed enough to take an animal off your...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Which is why I think an actual hearing where reps can demand answers from the G&F directors, rather than writing another law is the way to go. The advisory board meetings they are able to answer the questions they want and move on.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Probably. Also, I don’t know what an intercept feeding program is. I’ve read up to 2 years. And again, possibly. I’ll quote a rancher I talk to from the Harvey area, compare it to a bunch of kids eating birthday cake vs sharing the same spoon, what do you think would spread a cold faster?

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    In 8 years the state will have all new faces due to term limits. How many will be anti-trapping? How many will think mountain lions are too beautiful to hunt? How many will be bought by anti-hunting interests or ag groups to continue dismantling the game and fish? This is just the beginning I'm...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    No, since there's no control population. And you can't accurately show the hypothetical results of the disease spread (what-if scenarios) if they had chosen another management practice. The rise in CWD rates from 3% to 70% in Saskatchewan over 15 years, while never enforcing baiting regulations...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    This is where we enter the circular conversation. Yeah, there is no way to prove a bait ban works or doesn't since populations don't work in a vacuum. The division director's quote was "It’s more likely to be spread when they’re pulled together in times of year when they normally aren’t.” Basic...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Run unopposed, get elected and suddenly you know better than someone who's dedicated their career to ND wildlife conservation. I have to admit, the NDFB picked the right topic to enflame the masses and get hunters to do their bidding for them. Do you think guys like GST and Fritz really care...

    F-150/2.7 Ecoboost

    My last F150 had the 5.0 and I loved it, however it had enough electrical gremlins that I traded it in for a 2.7 until I buy new again. The 2.7 has been good. Pulls the glass boat or the camper no problem. 20 mpg, 11 pulling. However it just seems so “light” and not really like a truck.

    What does that have to do with your post? I’m asking you what you’re advocating for. Your post about the NAGC studying CWD and grant money leads me to believe you want a private entity managing the state’s game population.

    Would the game and fish do the management, or would it be an Ag group using grant money?

    Fritz, would it be science if it supported your opinion? I bet it would be. I’d like to read your bio as well.
