    Stocking up on lures - what to get for the river?

    If you are looking to stock up, the best money you can spend IMO is to get a lead smelter, round ball head jig mold in 1/8th, 1/4, and 3/8ths oz sizes. The smelter should be around 70 bucks with each mold being around 35. After the initial outlay of cash, each jig you make including hooks and...

    Bighorn sheep recovering in ND

    The bighorns are doing great, but you can't hunt white tails over bait wherever we decide it's inappropriate. Not because we have any scientific basis for our opinion, but we are going to do it anyway. Aren't we (the nd gnf) awesome that we provide you (the pleb hunters) an animal (bighorns)...

    I'd never seen this on a walleye before.

    I've had that happen on lots of spring male eyes. I don't know if that means mortality is forthcoming or if it's just a symptom of being caught. Of the eyes I have kept that had that red line, they didn't have it when I cleaned them. Of those I have released, I can not say. I guess I...

    Explain "blowing the bait fish"

    There are two trains of thought on this idea. One is what Twitch mentioned. The other is that the wind causes the water to get stirred up and cloudy on the windy side which causes "mudlines" to form where cleaner water runs against this muddy water. The idea here is that this dirty or muddy...

    Unit 3A3 is now "no hunting over bait"

    Just look at Wyoming. They have already PROVEN baiting has nothing to do with the spread of CWD. They've had a full statewide bait ban on big game for over 25 years now and CWD has expanded in that state by 1.1 million acres per year. This info comes from their own state surveys. Thinking ND...

    Plans for the weekend?

    My "Clean Garage" last about as long as a free six pack at a Hank Williams Jr. concert.

    Just another "It's for the children" ponzy scheme cooked up by anti-hunter wolves in sheep's clothing.

    Working on Mama's raised garden beds, drinking some blue num nums, and generally making a nuisance of myself.

    New for 2021

    I don't have anything in that range, but if you doubled that, we could discuss a 1997 Alumacraft 185 with a 135 mariner with full electronics, trolling motor, elec downriggers, planer board setup, custom tarp, full canopy, and maybe even an anchor. (Grin)

    May Heavenly Father surround you and your bride with his power and mercy. May He bless you with peace and comfort. May The Christ carry you both across this cavern of despair, uncertainty, pain, and deliver you unto his everlasting love and grace. I pray for The Christ to strengthen your...

    Canning Frustration

    Mama KDM uses equal parts vinegar and water, boiling brine over cucs when in jar with dill and other stuff, and hot water bath for 5 minutes. Process cucumbers same day as picking and don't overcook. Good Pickles IMO. Good Luck!!

    Grain Bin accident

    First, I'd like to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the departed. Awful situation. Second, I'd like to address the criticisms of the farmer who fell victim to this terrible event. I've been working with a producer for 3 years and have been inside a grain bin dealing...

    First Aid Kits

    I tend to build my own. Most of the store bought ones seem to have stuff in them I don't want. I learned quite a bit from the medics while in Afghanistan on what to have in a first aid kit. Some of the more useful and overlooked items for smaller issues would be quik clot, steri-strips, and...

    Anyone Tie Flies?

    When you are done fishing with those monster streamers, how do you clean and dry them?? When I was into fly fishing pike back in the day, I'd first spray each fly with silicone, brush it out, and then store them flat in tackle trays. It helped keep them clean and light and they shed water very...

    Waterfowl snack sticks

    Pretty good advice so far. Count me in on the 50/50 mix. I would add NOT to fine grind your waterfowl meat. The fine grind IME on waterfowl meat comes out like paste and isn't real easy to mix evenly. Good luck and happy cooking!

    Hometown Hero Outdoors

    I'm NOT a guide, outfitter, or 501c3 organization, nor do I want to be involved with one. I do have the ability to make a few outdoor opportunities happen and have done so numerous times in the past. I mainly focus on the youngsters and those with physical challenges, but wouldn't be against...

    Easy winter

    Hope the mild temps hold out as we just got hosed with freezing rain. Could lock up food sources for the critters pretty good if we don't thaw out. I HATE FREEZING RAIN!!!!! Nothing, and I mean nothing, sentences critters to the slow death of winter starvation like freezing rain. Grrrrr!!
