    Nd aim 2017 ??

    First I am in the Bis/Man area, so I am looking at this objectively, not for any personal benefit. I did not fish the AIM this year, however I definitely like what they are doing and would like to fish it in the future. I also think more advertising and word of mouth will help the series grow...

    Nd aim 2017 ??

    Did the rules this year require you to fish all three to fish the championship? Or was the championship open to all? It looks like other states have set up there AIM format with 4 qualifiers. Do they only take into account the top 3 scores from the 4 qualifiers?

    Nd aim 2017 ??

    I understand this is all just in the planning phase so who knows what it will be. However I think it might be a bad choice to follow this format for the second year. I think the biggest obstacle they had for participation this year was a lot of people had commitments or loyalty to some other...

    Not Too Shabby

    Cabelas put this combo of head unit and ducer together as an exclusive package just for them. It's essentially the ducer that was made for the elite down imaging series. This would be an ideal set up for the front of the boat on the electric. It will give you down imaging up front. It is a...

    Alumilite Little munchkin

    I see that as more of a solution to the Big Water Fisherman (LOW, Lake Winnipeg, maybe DL) type fishermen who wants to be mobile, but also wants the comfort of a hard shack. Similar to where SnoBear's shine. I don't see this as the best solution for most of ND waters, UNLESS you always fish...

    Combining Archery Season with Handguns

    I have mentioned this on here once or twice but I would be for a proposal on a 1 tag firearm season with 3-4 seasons. Say an early muzz, rifle, than a late muzz. The main goal here would be to increase deer hunting opportunities by increasing tags and seasons, but lowering the success rate...

    Combining Archery Season with Handguns

    You limited the handguns to the same effective range. Not an equal weapon. An arrow with a broadhead costs $10-$30 each and takes probably no less than 5 seconds to load an arrow and shoot. Those handguns have rounds that costs less then a $1 and can shoot all 5 rounds in that same 5 seconds...

    ND Game & Fish

    I like preference point system. The only thing that could maybe see a change is the multipliers they use to apply to each preference point. The current system worked well in the past. Now that it is harder to draw a tag and more and more people have higher number of preference points, I think...

    Arrow Hypothetical

    Fastest bow kill I have had was using a 430gr arrow with a Grim Reaper Whitetail Special (2" diameter 3 blade mechanical). The shot was at 20 yards and complete pass through catching a portion of both front shoulders. The mature doe hit the dirt, then stood up with her back legs and plowed on...

    Arborists or Spruce Experts?

    Looking for some help on a spruce tree issue. I have tried to get someone out, but everyone is backed up 2-3 weeks and no call back from the city forestry department. I have tried the Google route and cant seem to self diagnose. Issue: The top of the tree started to brown about 3 weeks ago...

    Buying A Tiny Piece of Heaven

    I think it all depends on the requirements of the land. If your looking for treed lots, well its ND so they are hard to find, and price goes up. Same thing if you want it on a lake or body of water. You do see old farmsteads go up for sale. Its unproductive ground and small farms merge into...

    Lottery in process!!!

    Agree with the last few sentences, I play the game too. And there are positives to just buying points from a planning perspective ast you stated. However, I would argue on the no negative effect. It might not be easily quantifiable, but by allowing people to buy points only, you will get...

    Lottery in process!!!

    Careful what you wish for. Wyoming system is far from perfect and they are discovering that the past few years. It was all fine and dandy for the first 5-6 years after they implemented it. But now it is showing issues with point creep from all the people who just buy points every year coupled...

    Lottery in process!!!

    I spoke with 3 different people that immediately after the lottery their preference points went to zero and one went from 5 to 2. But they were also unsuccessful in the lottery. When they called the G&F office for an explanation they were told they (the applicant) made a mistake on their...

    Lottery in process!!!

    Good, maybe these are new checks that will eliminate the chance of repeating the debacle they created last year.

    Lottery in process!!!

    Also the example numbers above should highlight the true reduction in tags for the lottery. I could be wrong on this, but I am pretty sure gratis licenses have not been reduced, but are included in all the published deer tags available. So when the game and fish says tags have been reduced 40%...

    Lottery in process!!!

    I am pretty sure the NDGF has explained the reason for the additional 2 week delay to what we have now vs some years ago is the Gratis Tag situation. If I remember right, this is a simplified version of the situation... High tag number days 100,000 tags total estimated 30,000 to gratis and so...

    Roughrider Gamebird Taxidermy???

    I have spent some time in a well run full time shop (2-3 taxidermist) and from what I gathered and saw, a 1 year law would make it more difficult and more $$. To keep things as efficient as possible they would seem to focus on different things at different times. They would do a big...

    camera on your Lowrance display

    I looked into a year ago. Seemed like a good option to take advantage of the screens and units a guy already owned. However I didn't have a solid option for ice season. The wifi and cell phone hook up didn't provide real time action, which I wanted for ice fishing. So I still needed to buy a...

    "Excess" Corp lands above 1620 in Emmons and Morton Counties to Private Owners

    Exactly, these landowners trying to portray that the "public" lost out because they were going to take better care of the land are nuts if they think anyone buys into that.
