    Increase in hawk and owl populations

    So few foxes around anymore that I gotta believe coons and skunks have the most negative impact on nesting.

    Cattle in Plots

    Can't say I've seen that one but have seen the opposite, where PLOTS signs are still up but it's not in the book or on the app. Wonder if they ask the landowner to take them down if it comes out of the program. I know of one spot that's been out of PLOTS for a good five years and still has the...

    No Trespass Prognostication

    Couple other points - I think license sales would go down but not dramatically. Loss of habitat is a bigger factor in that IMO. I've hunted in many areas of the state and have never found a lot of unposted land; I've hunted around 30 days this fall and can think of one unposted spot that I've...

    Cattle in Plots

    Thought I've read that they will work with landowners to develop habitat, e.g. tree rows etc. If you look at some of the PLOTS signs closely they say 'Coverlocks' - that might be a separate pot of money though. To the O.P., I've seen lots of PLOTS with cattle in them. Eastern Burleigh...

    Christmas Weather Event

    Isn't that a solid 6 hour drive on a good day? How'd you pull that off?

    60 minutes

    The piece definitely came off as pro-wolf, as one would expect from a national outlet, although they did a decent job of getting both sides.

    2019 ND Legislature and ND Sportsmens Etree

    Very true. Most people who own a quarter or two 50 miles from where they live and don't post it could care less if someone hunts on it. Getting a hold of them can be a real chore. Same goes for the big farmer who doesn't post much.

    Which wild game meat tastes the best?

    Sliced into 1/2" thick strips or so with a healthy amount of pepper and thrown on the grill for a few minutes, I've fed duck to the pickiest of females. Makes a great appetizer. This is very yummy too: http://www.ducks.org/hunting/waterfowl-recipes-wild-game-cooking/philly-style-duck-sandwiches

    Which wild game meat tastes the best?

    I would put mallard well above goose & grouse.

    Pats or eagles?

    Almost no QB makes it through a career without some injury troubles - Brady blew a knee, Brees a shoulder, etc. Or any NFL player for that matter.

    NDSU’s head coach Chris Klieman hired by K State.

    In defense of his first sentence, I did see some talking head yesterday say that they are discussing expanding the FBS playoff to 8 teams; I'd bet it happens within 5 years. Only problem I see is kids are starting to skip bowl games to protect their health for the draft, some of them might balk...

    NDSU’s head coach Chris Klieman hired by K State.

    No doubt college athletics spending is out of control but a lot of it comes from TV...no wonder cable is so expensive ;) Haven't done any research but I bet Klieman's contract isn't in the top 30 of FBS. I believe Fleck at MN got more, and that was 2 years ago.

    NDSU’s head coach Chris Klieman hired by K State.

    Not really a Bison fan (und grad); but he definitely ran a first-class program in Fargo so this is a well-deserved opportunity. Hope it works out for him; there will be plenty of skeptics as he's following a legend plus the fcs jump.

    Have never had any issues with my hb fishing next to people with vexilars or marcums. Nor have they.

    Next to nothing in Bismarck and what we do have is basically an icy crust. Looks like we will be all grass a week from now.

    Ice Fishing around Bismarck

    Beaver Bay on lake oahe is probably the most popular spot within a hour. I think you've said you're at Mary so that's an easy one to slip off to from that end of town. Never has been very good to me; but alas. Audubon obviously also popular. Otherwise, study the stocking reports in...

    Badlands mule deer

    My couch potato point of view is that the badlands just aren't vast enough. Happy thanksgiving all.

    2.7 Liter Ecoboost F150

    I've put about 30k on mine; no problems. Heater is as good as any vehicle I've had. I would estimate 18-19 mpg on the interstate although I've seen it as high as 24 over 300-400 mile trips. Pulls my 19ft boat no problem and gets around 12 mpg doing that. Does seem to slide around a little...
