    As far as cost of attendance and colleges go, my son received a $4k academic scholarship from a South Dakota school for this fall. Along with a $1,090 Pell grant and a $1k private scholarship, that's $6,090 off of the advertised $21k cost of attendance. Like I told my boy, you will likely...

    Right, I think we're on the same page with there possibly being a trigger associated with glyphosate. However, as you mentioned there may be many other contributing factors in the soil such as pH, nutrients, etc. If that were the case, I think CWD would still be largely contained to those...

    Wyoming muledeer

    To say we have gotten better at testing for CWD, would be quite the understatement even though it's still got a long ways to go. Nonetheless, ever since the creation of state agencies for wildlife management, there have been people calling them and reporting strange looking/behaving and dead...

    I have known several hockey parents over the years. When they are being honest about the cost of a full-time hockey kid, $10k/year isn't out of the question. I'm sure it can be done for less, but if the parents travel to all the away games and tournaments, the vehicle expenses, hotel bills...

    While the discussion on modern ag chemicals and their potential effects on cervids is interesting. The spread of CWD has been pretty classic in the sense of a disease spread, not the spread of the use of glyphosate. If CWD was primarily associated with glyphosate, CWD would have arisen at...

    Why doesn't an otherwise great meme have a basic understanding, or use, of English grammar? This bothers me, immensely.

    More funnel clouds being reported to the NWS today. These are up just north and east of Minot over the past several minutes. Keep your eye on the sky for the next few hours! Note, there's also been some hail reported, nothing I've heard of yet that's damaging to anything other than crops.

    Last I heard there were 2 confirmed tornadoes. One by Trotters and one over by Dickinson. Lots of other pics of funnels that didn't make it to the ground as well. Hail? Largest I heard of was ping pong ball sized. So, no...not quite gorilla balls sized. Kinda sad to hear so many that feel...

    bastardization of muzzy season

    One can call it selfish if they wish, but the bottom line is the season was originally asked for and approved by the legislature by those who were primarily interested in an opportunity to shoot a deer with at most a cap and ball type of muzzleloader. One didn't see the explosion in ML tag...

    Lottery

    It's technically the 3rd drawing. Remember when you apply, you are asked for 1st choice of deer in your 1st choice of unit? That's the first drawing. Then there's the 2nd choice of deer in your 1st choice unit, that's the second draw. The 3rd drawing is the 1st choice deer in your 2nd choice...

    Odd. I had a WT buck tag in 4E last year. The only WT buck I ran across on public land was a small buck that ran across the highway by Amidon in the wee hours of the morning. And it was crossing over into 3F1. Terrible deer season for me.

    It's Sioux County. Tags are available, but access is tough from what I know and made even tougher as I am pretty sure you will also need Tribal hunting licenses to hunt public land down there. I've never hunted that unit, but maybe someone with more experience in that neck of the woods can...

    F5's are not common in ND. Then again, if you get steam-rolled by an F1, you may not know the difference. An F1 can absolutely demolish an older home, been on a few storm surveys when the damage estimates come in at an F1-F2 wind speed and someone was damn lucky to survive (or didn't). Hell...

    Flathead Catfish in ND ?

    One thing's for sure, I have now learned to count the rays on my cats. That's some useful information!

    Flathead Catfish in ND ?

    They also didn't have Atlantic Salmon on the list before I caught one 4 (?) years ago. That one took a little sleuthing to figure out. As it turns out, SD tossed a few thousand into Oahe, and I caught one up by Fox Island. So far as I know, it was the first caught in the state, so I laid...

    Flathead Catfish in ND ?

    FWIW, stories from divers on Sak often included tales of 100 lb catfish in and around the 4 Bears bridge. If those divers weren't BS'ing, there's only one species it could have been. This would have been in the 70s and 80s.

    Flathead Catfish in ND ?

    Many years ago I would hear of blue cats being caught in the tailrace. Haven't heard yarns of any in quite a while. I am almost certain I've never caught a flathead, but with the subtle differences between a blue and a channel...if they are still around, there's a good chance I've handled one...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now that I remember it, I planted a Honeycrisp back in 2004. By 2010 I was threatening it with the chainsaw and tordon combination because while it was a great looking tree, it wasn't bearing fruit. I finally trimmed the heck out of it and it was loaded with apples the next couple of years.
