    Helping the deer herd

    KDM brings up a good point with the cover that also provides browse. Each parcel will be different, but I think variety is key. Especially in this region when we have 4 full seasons. If I had 20ac I was tying to manage I don't think I would have much more the 1-3ac in a switch grass and that...

    Helping the deer herd

    It seemed like your use would be for bedding reasons, but Yoby mentioned he was looking to plant a food plot. Anyway, sounded like the Sudan Grass wasn't very strong after it dies and gets hit with wind and snow. I have seen many recommendations for Cave in Rock Switchgrass as the go to for...

    Helping the deer herd

    I have read a few articles and opinions on Sudan Grass and from those I gather it really shouldn't be put in as a food plot targeted for deer. The seeds would probably help the birds in the winter though. From a deer management stand point it seems like it would fall under the screening category...

    Helping the deer herd

    Some good info and experience there. Where are you located? What type of cover is holding the 400 deer you have right now? Are they in that cover because its the closest to the food source or are they there because it provides them the best shelter?

    Helping the deer herd

    Producers have the equipment and quantity that would bring the total cost to plant (and leave standing) down. So that is the right direction, but I would take it a step further and specific locations need to be targeted. Deer herd up where there's cover and habitat. Deer might travel for miles...

    Christmas Blizzard

    In years past I have seen promotions by car dealers or jewelry stores stating "Anything you buy during this week (usually around Thanksgiving time frame) will be free, if it snows 10" (or around there) on Christmas day". Anyone know of any this year?

    Well this is going to get interesting

    That is the issue and the concern that this could get way out of hand. The media and all other supporters of the riot are spinning it to make it look like the opposite. People truly believe the First Amendment is being attacked. No freedom speech, no right to assemble, etc..

    River birds

    The weather and weekend forecast don't look too bad so I don't think it will be as large of a flyover as I was thinking. 30 and sun for two days this weekend should knock down a fair amount of shallow snow on the hill tops and as of now there isn't a lack of open water. The glass that was half...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    I haven't read all of gst posts on here, but this whole thing needs to end before stuff like above starts to gain more momentum and more $$. To the opponents of the pipeline it started out as a water source/pipeline issue and the people protesting were the people in ND and SD who thought they...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    This planned Veteran movement is something to be concerned about. The cold isn't suppose to hit until Tuesday and this is turning into something that has little to do with a pipeline or SR tribe. These "veterans" are getting their trip paid for and who knows what sort of crap they think they can...

    Euro Mounts done at Fort KDM Now.

    KDM, They look great. You ever make it to Bismarck area for a pick up? I have no immediate plans that take me your direction.

    River birds

    yeah maybe this is too negative of thinking, but the snow totals looked to have peaked right in the MO River and Sak area. up to 24". With the lows temps coming early next week I think central SD might be holding all the geese. Some will stick around, but with all the pressure this time of year...

    Small Food Plots for Deer

    Yeah I have no personal experience besides seeing different phases of the plots the G&F plant on various public grounds. So my advice is worth what your paying. Im with KDM, if you are looking at something that small I would expect to have to fence it in (electric might be easiest). Many of...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Water levels have been pretty low all fall. Typical once the lake freezes over there is a pretty good increase in ice and water level around Bismarck due to the ice backup. Anyone know if the Cannonball area sees this and if any of the camps will see some flooding?

    Can you hunt state school land if it is posted?

    Also, it is possible for lease holder to own the surrounding land. If he puts up a posted sign on the fence post right at the property line he might just be covering just that the section or property transfer point. If it isn't obvious the land changes ownership he intentionally or...

    Can you hunt state school land if it is posted?

    Yes and no. For 99% of instances they can not. A call into the ND Trust Lands Surface Management Office will give you the info you need. https://land.nd.gov/surface/Contact.aspx Public Access Information Public Use Facts School Trust Lands are generally open to non-vehicular public access...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Yeah I have heard every excuse there is defending why they didn't participate in the planning of this. I believe if they did participate this would not be happening right now. They would have chosen a different route. It still comes down to $$ and DAPL has lost a ton of money with the delays and...

    Lonetree WMA is nearly void of deer

    I believe the 1% is a rifle tag allocation. No limit on NR statewide whitetail bow tags. I have been up there in the past where there were many Non-res bowhunters during the month of September. I spent many opening weekends of rifle season up there and you are correct, very little NR. Lots of...
