    New 2020

    Its called bottomfill, but one has to realize its just another filter that might make the screen less cluttered, but that also means the screen isn't showing maximum detail. I could see it being ok to used if chasing Bluegills, Crappie, Salmon/trout but when after bottom hugging eyes/perch I...

    anyone heating with coal?

    Some good points above, but the key take away is "it depends". Lots of variables at play with your specific heat loads, utilities available to you, and your geographic location. Some rural electric coops will offer different incentives, off peak vs peak meters, excavation costs and well depth...

    Sb 2315 - reborn after house gutting!

    I think this sums it up well. I agree, unfortunately, I don't see this going away and the attempt to weaken public interest in recreation wont ever stop because recreation is in direct competition with there motives and business. Take a look at land parcels for sale and the value wildlife...

    7mm Rem Mag vs 300 Win Mag

    Like you said pros and cons to each. Both great calibers. I have a 7mm and a 300 NM (not far off 300WM ballistics) I would lean toward the 300 win mag given you want to stick with factory ammo and use for Elk. I would also put a brake on it, but do your research on brakes, not all are designed...

    Inflatable Rescue for Side by Side

    But they float! Agree with your points. But in there price range nothing is perfect. A stiff suspension ATV/SxS with tracks isn't much of a joy ride over rough ice or hard snow nor fast. Not for everyone, just surprised I don't see more on the ice.

    Inflatable Rescue for Side by Side

    Why don't we see more Argo's out on the ice? I operated an 8x8 Argo for 2 summers of work back in college. Very capable machine, never any mechanical issues.

    Venison sausage smoking without casing

    Use a non edible fibrous casing (like used in some summer sausage / salami) and smoke the sausage just as you normally would. Then remove casing before eating or even cooking. Pan simmer the sausage, half covered in water. Keep the water to a light simmer so you don't get to a temp that will...

    MT vs ND

    Buck tags in MT are not OTC and for the most part not unit specific on the east side of the state. There is only one special draw unit/hunt on the East side of FT Peck. All other units in region 6 & 7 are covered with the General Deer Tag. You have to apply for the tag in the spring and the...

    Waterfowl Minimums

    This is true to an extent, but how many gadwall, teal, bluebill, redhead, canvasback, etc. have you shot over your field spread? As great and fun as field hunting is, I don't think I would recommend it to someone starting out. It would be a sure way to have someone drop $$$ on gear and quit...

    Can anyone help a gal deer hunting?

    Spent some time out there however cant say I have seen any consistent whitetail areas besides private river bottoms. While a middle age male might have 1% chance of gaining permission on some of that private land during rifle season I would put her odds very high if the landowner knew the...

    youth bows

    I have been looking into this a bit as well. One thing that comes up (and I seem to agree with) is also pay attention to the overall bows weight, not just draw weight. 3-4lbs out at full arms length can take a way from the enjoyment of shooting for small kids. Bad form as well. Focus more of...

    Anyone seen this around town?

    I'm surprised your own insurance company didn't go to bat for you sooner or with more pressure. Seems like that should fall into their wheelhouse and from a business standpoint they have more to lose than you do. If its $5k fix with $500 deduct, seems like they have $4500 at stake while you...

    This is the reason why I hate the Pats

    Winning solves many problems. The Patriots can get contracts and interest from free agents because they keep winning. They show no loyalty to players, its all a business, but they keep drawing interest from players because they are in it every year. Other teams cant just copy that approach and...

    1400 hours on a 250 Yamaha

    Seems maybe a bit high from the info I have gathered. You seem to see a number of guys start to repower around the 2500-4000 hour range. Not that the engines are bad and not good for more hours, but for many its a business and they have to weigh the risks of a motor going down mid season or 50...

    Alkaline Lake Campground??

    LOL. $25 daily use fee for the boat ramp? I assumed that included a camping spot. Even Sconies can't be that dumb to pay that amount for use of a boat ramp, can they?:confused:

    Montana mule deer

    Your tow straps comment brought up another thought. A little rain can make the roads out there be as slick as ice. It packs into the treads and will send your pickup in whatever direction the slope is going. Will push you in the ditch just by the slope of the road crown. A level ground 2 track...

    Montana mule deer

    Seems like you have most covered. Gun bearer would be a good addition. hard plastic bottle and holder on the pack belt comes in handy. Doesn't require you to remove pack to drink and the hard plastic (nalgene) is a lot quieter than the crinkly disposable bottles. Water bladders can be great...

    Mini-truck vs UTV

    To add to this, I have also heard the automatics are the way to go if running tracks. Owners say the short pauses while shifting a manual tranny on a machine with tracks also leads to situations where they sink down slightly in deeper snow. Also there are 4WD machine that have locking...

    Casinocup bs

    Ray, that's a huge selling point. Market it the crap out of that. Put that in bold letters on the flyers or rules sheet. Not just the 100% pay out, but the fact the 10% NDGF fee was covered by the Casino.

    Casinocup bs

    Yeah its kind of funny and ironic at the same time that you have these casino tournaments that always leave negative tastes in peoples mouth but are always full and have people come back for more. Then you have what seems like a well run tournament in the AIM series that cant even fill the...
