    Jacob Wetterling's mother says remains found; officials mum

    I was about 15 when this occurred. Scared me then and still scares me now. I have a boy his age. Never take for granted watching your kids. Always know where they are, who they are with and always have and eye and ear on them.

    Sam Bradford a Viking

    Bradford has more potential than any other prospect. He actually has talent but is just a bit inconsistent. But in his defense he played with one of the worst lines in nfl in the rams. He was on his back most of the time. Vikes now have solid line so maybe with time to operate he may produce...

    iPilot Remote

    I haven't had the best luck with my terrova either. This early summer my unit quit receiving signals from my remote and foot pedal at same time. I like to use foot pedal for directions and remote for speed, anchor etc. Well I could only use one or the other-not both. Took it in and the...

    Owning multiple vehicles

    I found a steal. I have an '11 silverado with 78k on it. Hardly drive except for hunting and fishing. Came across a 04 Buick lesabre 3800 motor etc. Had salvage title due to bad hail damage. But...only 80k miles. Runs like a caddy but not real pretty. Paid 3k for it. New battery and tires came...

    Burris Eliminator legal in ND?

    I'm not sure about ND but I have a couple friends that use them here in SD. They are pretty neat. I know they have killed deer at over 500 yds a couple times. I think one got one at little over 600. However, you can hit big game that far but can you ethically kill them? Often times deer are hit...

    Ipilot remote issue

    Out fishing yesterday my remote working properly. Won't shut blade off, speed up and down won't work or rabbit, anchor etc. Only thing that does is directions. Tried new battery. I've had for about 3 summers so I suppose I'm screwed. Any thoughts?

    ND fishing lodge. Profit or bust?

    Ive guided on and off here in northeast SD. I'm thinking DL is similar to my area. The problem with the dream that we've all had...is that it's not just fishing everyday. You make decent money guiding each day but big money is in rentals. You would need to build some cabins and probably a...

    Broken G-Loomis

    I was guiding one time and a young kid broke my loomis pulling on a snag. That was maybe...6 yrs ago?? I contacted company and sent rod and $50. They replaced it.

    Boots

    any advice on narrow running boots? I wear size13-14ish. 13 1/2 would be perfect. Most shoes/boots are too wide. Any thoughts?

    Official NDA Guide to Mountable Fish Lengths

    I agree with what someone else said...weight should be included. I have a 30in eye on wall that was 9.3 and a 28 in eye on wall that is 10.2. Weight can play a major roll when full of eggs.

    Tubman Ousts Jackson on $20's

    I'm not crazy about changing faces on our currency. Waste of time,funds and effort. However...Since a change is being made, I have no issues with Harriet Tubman on the bill. She was an incredibly brave woman. If my history serves me right she made 19 trips through swamps, sloughs, forest at...

    Dumpin the Dip!!

    Ive been dipping now for 23 yrs. Quit recently for a month but of course came back. Hard to quit when many of my pals do it. I love having one when hunting/fishing or driving. I have developed bad acid reflux. When I quit for that month it got ten times better. Now back doing it again the...

    The walking dead season 6

    I think Glen too. I think I read somewhere his contract was only for six seasons. I love the show and thought finale was pretty good. I'm no critic just like the entertainment.

    2016 Tracker Pro Guide V-16 SC

    I looked at a new Tracker boat in Fargo a few years ago. Kinda wished I bought one. Ended up with a Lund. I really like the lund but would have never bought it new due to crazy prices. Trackers have come a long ways in the boat world. Years ago they were a bit behind in quality but in the...

    Do RED hooks make a difference??

    I find it hard to believe a red hook matters. How much of the hook can a fish actually see? Small, thin, not to mention probably a minnow, plastic or worm hooked on. I doubt they see much. Plus...I was always under impression red disappears after a certain depth. So if it did make...

    lyme disease

    I was diagnosed with lymes 2013 after going on a bear hunt in northern MN. Has changed my life. I think for the most part I beat it but have many post lyme symptoms that come and go. Many nerve issues, sensitive eyes, arthritis in knees, dizziness and fatigue. These come and go but not as...
