    Lonetree WMA is nearly void of deer

    The state could and probably should look into raising the cost for non resident deer tags. SD is $286, but Montana is $600 and Iowa is $550. So its cheap compared to them, that would limit some. However I am not up there enough to know if it gets overwhelmed with out of state hunters anymore...

    Lonetree WMA is nearly void of deer

    I wouldn't say this is only a problem with Lonetree. This can be seen on all large tracts of public across the state. Habitat has been reduced across the state, access to private gets more limited every season, access to public gets easier and easier as technology advances (phone apps, GPS...

    Too warm to drop a deer.

    Very good point. Some elk hunting is done in 90f weather. The problem we see in ND is some don't seem to change their methods of care. So many don't know how or would rather not skin and butcher their own deer. They would rather just gut it and drop it off at the butcher until they get a call...

    How hard is it to get an elk tag in ND?

    Sounds like you didn't need any help. Where do you think you will find the elk? To stay on topic, chances to draw cow tags in either species seems rather high. Most people who apply for cow elk seem to get drawn in 1-2 years. Cow moose seems to take a bit longer. A ND cow elk hunt is still a...

    Freshwater fish tank

    Between some childhood friends and I we had a mix of pike, walleye, perch, bullhead, bluegill, and bass at one point or another. Large snails, baitfish, mud puppies also frequented the tanks. All the tanks were set up an ran just like you would for goldfish, but filter systems were probably...

    Any mule deer tips?

    Yeah, It will be plenty busy even with the 400 tags, then another 300 whitetail tags and of course a few bow hunters. I'm not picking my dates based on predicted hunting pressure. Just made the comment, because like you, I believe you wont see much of a difference between the opening weekend and...

    Any mule deer tips?

    Everyone I have talked to with a mule deer tag said they are going to avoid the first weekend and focus on the second weekend till close of season. This is probably over a dozen people. I'm starting to think opening week will have less hunting pressure out there.

    Any mule deer tips?

    Here is Eastman's guide to field judging.... First determine the distance between a buck’s ears, ear-tip to ear-tip across the forehead. This measurement will be used to evaluate inside spread width. Unfortunately mule deer ears will vary in length from 9 to 10 inches depending on the unit or...

    Opinion on hunting stands on Public Land

    I wouldn't hunt anyone else's stand. It wouldn't stop me from putting up my own stand in the area. If its an old abandon stand or one that is never taken down, then report it to G&F or if obviously abandoned, take it down yourself. Public is Public and I take a first come first serve stance...

    Wirehaired Griffon Owners / Breeders

    Thanks for all the replies and PM's guys. Appreciate it. In the last few days I ran across a versatile dog website and forum and it is pretty active and focuses on these breeds. Just FYI for anyone else currently looking.

    Cooter and Jal1 - would you mind sharing where you got your pup and if you'd recommend?

    Wirehaired Griffon Owners / Breeders

    Question to you and DSlayer. Of the Griffs you have seen do this, was it a shock to the owner? Did the pup have the bloodlines of dedicated field dogs and come from a selective breeder who focuses on the traits required to succeed in the field? And did the owner put in the required work? I am...

    Building a Wall Tent

    Knowing this, a wall tent is overkill and in this temperature and season not my first choice. Wall tents don't have a floor and thus take some work to get completely sealed up (bug proof). Wall tents excel in colder months and with a wood stove. The breathability of the cotton coupled with heat...

    Wirehaired Griffon Owners / Breeders

    Not at all. I have my search window far and wide and I haven't ruled out any dog/pup. All I was getting at with my last post is if a breeder has the stud and bitch, reputation, and characteristics I am looking for I don't care what breed of dog it is. I have seen GWPs look the same as GSP...

    Wirehaired Griffon Owners / Breeders

    In my search I have seen so many different looks and traits between the Griffs, PP, GWP that is seems difficult to just generalize a breed. DuckSlayer I have seen enough pics of your GWP's that I know that are just as much a family dog as field dog. Physical characteristics seem to range by...

    Wirehaired Griffon Owners / Breeders

    I have read similar a few times already so I completely believe what your saying. IMO the importance of the breeder and bloodlines would come into play here. It would be hard to discredit a pups drive or instinct from a litter where there is a long line of NAVHDA Champions. I understand nothing...

    Wirehaired Griffon Owners / Breeders

    I am beginning to think about a pup and right now a Griffon seems like the lead candidate. I have a 2 yo daughter at home and a wife that would like to minimize the dog hair/shedding (i.e. no lab). Anyone on this site own one and/or have a recommendation on a breeder? I don't have any...
