    Spring Snow Goose

    I hunted lots of years, both fall and spring, with around 600 decoys. This was with 1-4 guys....and with just me that number was way too much work. I never felt in the fall that I needed more decoys. In the spring, I never felt like more would have REALLY made a difference. Too many people...

    How thick is the ICE?

    Heard there was a sled that went down in an open pressure ridge a night or two ago too? Sounds like they were lucky to get out. 1200 fisherman and better ice than past years leads to some iffy stuff. Hope everyone stays safe!

    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    Done many a water damage repair job because of pinhole leaks and worse on old recirculation systems. Seems like one guy we damn near had his basement taken apart multiple times over three years. Elbows wore out, pin holes showed up, nasty deal.

    How low did you go?

    It is amazing how each "area" of the country is setup for surviving their normal weather, but when things go bad it gets really bad. That AK situation looks terrible, winds that high for that long are tough on anyone and anything. Texas last year in that cold spell was a mess. And even us...

    J-Wheelz?

    I know a guy that had them for a few years. Saw them in action in muddy fields spring snow goose hunting. No comparison to tracks IMO. Can't comment on snow though. Not saying they didn't help a bit, just nothing like what tracks do.

    Jumper Pack

    Amazon has had the NOCO units on their Prime Day the last few years FYI. I haven't used mine but everyone I know loves them. Just gotta remember to keep it charged!

    Massive fire in denver~

    Between Boulder and Broomfield on Hwy 36. It's foothills country, but there are no trees in that area. It's prairie rolling hills country not unlike a lot of the Front Range stuff just west of I25 from Ft. Collins to Denver. Very urbanized areas that burned too, it's almost unthinkable that a...

    Massive fire in denver~

    Mountain wave winds are freaky, freaky deals. Terribly sad situation and one that most people could never imagine happening in a "city" environment. There is really no understanding of why one house burned, then the next didn't. Mother nature is a nasty thing to deal with. I'm sure folks...

    Tribe shuts down access Mobridge

    The Corp doesn't own the land anymore. All the land on the SRST and CRST reservations was "given" to the tribe, including all the takeline land that you usually know as public. That ramp & parking lot, along with the campground and The Bay, were also given to the tribe by the Corp. It sucks...

    Conceal Carry

    Honest question- I have never considered anything but a pistol a concealed weapon, at least in terms of having a permit for one. In reading the SD concealed carry website, everything is in regards to firearms. Does my concealed carry permit really cover other types of items beyond a pistol?

    So I bought some land...

    Get ahold of the SDGFP Habitat Advisor for your area. They will come out, walk the property with you, and give you great advice on what to do. And they know every program top to bottom and what will work on your land. They are an incredible asset, we have had them out on our place and they...

    Tribe shuts down access Mobridge

    So, its OK to fill the casino hotel rooms for the tournament, but yet not allow any sort of access on the Grand ramp? If I were the Chamber or on the tourney committee, I would simply send a notice to all entrants informing them of the closure and ask them not to support the tribe in any way...

    Tribe shuts down access Mobridge

    Will this be like the whole "access permit" thing this spring that never materialized? There was big talk of no day passes, only year passes, and a guard at the gate. Neither of which made it to fruition. I'm guessing there will be plenty of yelling about it and there will be impact. If half...

    One man ice house or small two man

    Pulling by hand I disagree that a one man pulls better than a two man. I have had a Clam Pro 1 man and a Clam Guide small 2 person. First, you always have less weight in a 2 man, even by yourself. Put good UHMW runners on (DO NOT BUY THE CLAM RUNNERS) and they both pull alright by hand. But...

    Bass Pro & Sportsman Warehouse

    I agree, most SW that I have been in aren't great. There have been a handful that were merchandized well, but most seem to miss the mark of what they should be carrying in that area.

    Parents charged with 4 counts involuntary manslaughter

    In reading this morning, the school talked to the student the day before as he was found searching for ammo on his phone. The day of the killings, he made the drawings and was reported. He was taken out of class and parents were brought in. He claimed his drawings were for a video game he...

    Parents charged with 4 counts involuntary manslaughter

    The schools are there to educate our kids, not be a mental health screening service for parents. I see too many parents who just dump their kids off at school to be the schools' problem, rather than taking responsibility for their kid & behavior or even being aware of issues they are having. I...

    Parents charged with 4 counts involuntary manslaughter

    Remember there are LAWYERS on both sides. I can see the prosecutor leaving out the detail that the gun was locked up AND I can see the defense saying it was locked up, knowing it can't be proved. There are three people that know the location and locked status of that handgun and I'm guessing...

    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    I can't answer that for sure, but most units I have seen are rated at X% efficient with their intended fuel type quite equally. Last comparison I saw propane was winning the overall cost/efficiency battle, but I have no idea where propane is right now. With gas going higher I would say it...
