    Bad News - Ash Borer

    Uhh, once every two years. From your link: "One trunk injection treatment of emamectin benzoate provides 99% control for two years and must be repeated once every two years to continue protection."

    Sharp-tails/ MT

    Very true. I am pretty sure nobody hunts the sharpies where I used to bow hunt out in the Badlands. By end of October, even without being shot at those birds would fly at well over 100 yds away. Kind of the same as the sharpies on our land, but those I knew were hunted. Field edges, grass...

    Bad News - Ash Borer

    There are systemic insecticides that can be purchased. All you have to do is pour it on the ground around the tree and the tree takes it from there. Expensive though. When the birch borers hit Bismarck back in the early 2000s, I planted a birch tree. As it got older and the birch borers...

    Bad News - Ash Borer

    One thing a lot of the old ranchers used them for was fence posts. Trying to pound a fence staple into some of those old gnarly fence posts was a near impossibility unless there was a crack you could wedge a staple into. I can't imagine there are still a lot of them in use, but back in the 70s...

    Uggh, once that SOB hits the Missouri Coteau, we won't have to shoot the beavers. The native trees on our land have to be about 80+ percent green ash.

    NFL News (Vikings)

    Well, it's not common that the 6th or 7th seed in a conference goes on to win the Super Bowl. As I tell people, if you want to be recognized as the best...go out and demand the best available and beat the crap out of them. I follow the Vikes and would love to see them win it all, but they...

    Switch to hunting edible creatures and let us know how that works for you. Geese suck! And yes, I've done just about everything imaginable to them to try and bring them into the realm of reasonable table fare.

    Landowners lose, big time. They are setting themselves up to not be in any kind of position to curry favor from the voters.

    insurance paying for flood

    Start with a miserably cold and wet winter that leaves us with 4-6 inches of water equivalent in the snowpack and follow it with a very sudden warm spell in mid March that brings a 2-4 inch rain from Dickinson up to Garrison. and over to Steele. A sudden loss of Heart Butte dam would...

    insurance paying for flood

    I like you as well, but I am telling you as someone who works with water that there is non-trivial risk of flooding in that area and I would be very uncomfortable as a homeowner. One can believe what they wish, but the numbers are what they are,

    insurance paying for flood

    I would disagree with it being "meaningless". It represents the volume of water that can be stored up above an icejam and the potential for it to fail catastrophically. Could Garrison have tamed that event? Yes, but I am not convinced it would have been able to prevent catastrophic flooding...

    Yes, by one year. They started filling Sakakawea in 1953. Your point of it being pre-dam is correct in that there is a very good chance the dam would have lessened the problem. The gage at Williston recorded 170,000 cfs and there was another 40,000 cfs coming from the Little Missouri...

    insurance paying for flood

    April 6th, 1952 saw an icejam up by Wilton catastrophically release and send 500,000 cfs through the Bismarck area. In 2011, we hit about 155,000 cfs at the peak in Bismarck. A flood of roughly 3.2 times the size of the 2011 flood will certainly cover the entire flood plain. Even if that...

    Yes, those are the rules of a gratis tag. So, you are correct in that 52 landowners in the unit believe they have a chance to fill a pronghorn tag on their land. Or something like that.

    Given that 52 of the 55 tags in Fritz's unit are Gratis Tags, what are the chances one of the three license holders are on Nodak Angler? https://gf.nd.gov/licensing/lotteries/summary/pronghorn

    Property Tax Credit

    I would suggest you greatly underestimate the ability of businesses to take advantage of any tax change. They will maximize any advantage they can find.
