    New run on guns and ammo?

    I'm screwed if we are preparing for the apocalypse. But, I do work with a guy who went nuts on AR's and .22 ammo when Obama got in. He has shown me photos and claims to have over 30k rounds of .22 ammo. He was putting himself on wait lists when .22 ammo was tight. Same guy also has an entire...

    0 % interest

    I don't get why they did it already. Save it for later in this mess. Interest rates don't matter at all if nobody has confidence to buy, let alone leave their house. Right now we are telling people to not go anywhere, afraid they may not have a job, etc. Zero consumer confidence right now. I...

    Missouri is opening in BisMan

    Under the bridges or more than that? So much for the last ice trip!

    Walleye Trolling Direction Matters?

    I have seen both, though I would say more often than not it is going with the wind. But, I also prefer to troll with the wind, boat control is better and you don't have to be on the wheel or tiller every second. So that could skew my stats too. Current has been a player some days, even with...

    PP Handgun- Need some advice

    Oh I think there are many out there who haven't asked themselves this question. I have thought about it a lot! But, the shotgun in the house is a good idea. Still sorting through the handgun selection, XD Mod 2 or the Sig are at the top of the list right now. Thanks for the input.

    Concrete home

    I agree with the ICF/SIPS house. The new ICF systems are unquestionably better than even a few years ago. Send them a plan and they send you a lego set to put together. You still have to have the talent to make sure it ends up level/plumb/square though. And bracing when dealing with tall...

    PP Handgun- Need some advice

    I'm finally crossing the bridge into getting a handgun for home/personal protection. The use will be at home locked up in a quick access safe, traveling, and camping in the far reaches. I most often have some sort of firearm available, but not easy access or small. I'm not a fear monger and...

    Confidence Crank

    Firetiger Shad Rap. I could pull #5's and #7's anywhere and have full confidence in them. Second would be Purpledescent Shad Rap's, then maybe Pearl White Shad Rap's. We had a nutso trip on Sak a few years ago with Bomber 24A's. Same thing a couple years on Oahe with Salmo Hornets. But I...

    Snowshoes

    The MSR Lightning Ascent is a great one. The bindings aren't my favorite BUT they may go big enough for bunny boots. I have an Atlas set that has incredible bindings, but they will only fit a hunting boot, nothing really bigger. The MSR's have the best side bite of any snowshoe I've used...

    Mobridge Ice Fishing Results.

    How was the access? That is the toughest part. If you want to go north, where can you get on? It has been a few years but last time I tried to access off Ritter's the gates were locked and everything posted. Could have went down a few ways but didn't feel like trespassing. Any with snow...

    If you didn't hunt/fish

    I'd mountain bike, ski, run, camp. I still do those things along with hunt and fish, probably even more so now. Hunting is going farther and farther by the wayside, just too much trouble finding a place to hunt the stuff I enjoy around my area.

    Wood-fired pizza oven

    A friend has one, he has it figured out to make good pizza. It took awhile to get it figured out. A few notes- Use fruit flavored pellets as the stronger pellets can make your pizza taste iffy. As other have said, there is a recovery time between pizzas. You can usually get two out of them...

    Walleye cheeks could be OFF the menu.....

    This is how SD has been for as long as I can remember. No block freezing and two fillets = 1 fish. I don't even think about cheeks or otherwise because of it. If I screw up a fish while cleaning I am careful to only end up with two pieces for that fish. Surely some ends up in the grinder...

    South Dakota giant poached

    Only thing I can't figure out is why would you publicize this if you were the guy? You are 100% going to get caught? Or think otherwise I guess? Either way it makes no logical sense.

    South Dakota giant poached

    Within the confines of the reservation yes. But neither the state park or the deeded ground the deer was on is tribal. Now, how that whole mess of it all will work out who knows, but bottom line is when/where the trigger was pulled, and where the deer was when shot, are not within tribal...

    Do soybeans kill birds?

    https://www.pfwebsites.org/chapter/browncountypforg/files/Pheasant%20Ecology.pdf This is an interesting read. Though pheasants can survive on them, it doesn't appear that they are a great food source for them for reasons others have discussed above. They can adapt and eat them....we all know...

    Sportsmen and women- be mindful out there. ESPECIALLY this year

    One thing a lot don't understand is a fully loaded tandem or semi full of grain cannot move to the side of the road when it is wet and soft. The shoulders are soft and it turns into a disaster. When meeting trucks, get all the way off the road. Let them have the center crown. There is a...

    Snow Geese

    Had piles of Canada's heading south this morning in W SD. And saw a decent group of snows sitting on water.....second time in the last 15 years I have seen snows on the ground here. Cold front is moving some. But I would guess the largest pile is still in southern Canada.

    Specklebelly migration in South Central North Dakota or anywhere for that matter

    You shoot like.....

    Tight full chokes and heavy lead 4's like Golden Pheasant will kill birds at ranges most have no business shooting. I have never seen the need to shoot 3" lead. 3" steel 2's do the same.
