    Concealed carry

    I'm thinking of picking up a concealed carry here in SD. I have numerous shotguns and rifles but just just one handgun. A .22 revolver. Can anyone give advise on what to look for in a cheapish concealed type gun? I don't have a great knowledge on handguns. What size caliber do you recommend? I...

    Buying vs. Leasing

    I read somewhere from an author that was a financial wizard that...if you want to do well money wise in vehicles- the best thing you can do is buy a vehicle that is in good condition with 80-100k miles. Drive it until it's dead then buy another with same miles. They don't cost much so you pay...

    "Off" Brand Crankbaits & Effectiveness?

    Im assuming that is the price difference on the "cheaper" cranks vs say shad raps. I pull # 5 shad raps all the time and have great luck and they stay true. I have had a ton of luck with the perch colored smash shads as well but I often have to tune them. So that is the $$ difference...

    North and South Dakota

    Lived in SD my whole life. Solid state and think ND has to be pretty comparable. However, we have Sioux Falls. So with that being said..ND wins. SF is a cancer to our state.

    I read some of the other discussion but am still not sure what Im looking for. What type of fishing bib would work best for fishing in the boat on cool days and ice fishing with reinforced knees. I guess it doesn't need to be super warm. Can someone give me an exact model to check out. I see...

    What are your thoughts on this?

    Its an ego thing all the way. Guys just have to say " We got our limit." I used to guide a bit and still do on a rare occasion and that is what the majority of clients want. A limit. I admittedly in my younger days wanted the same. Now I just enjoy catching any fish. I do however want to...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    I have been a teacher/coach for 20 yrs now. As others said...probably like any other job. Good days and bad. Also like other jobs where you have certain people making decisions that really have no clue. But you have to go along with it. Can be frustrating. My best advice for being a good...
