    Build a root cellar?

    The ceiling of my neighbors cellar does freeze as it's covered with frost most winters. However, the air inside the cellar stays around 35 to 40 degrees which is perfect for storing veggies. Even on the floor, the veggies stay good as the floor has never frozen. His biggest problem seems to...

    Build a root cellar?

    Might not be. It depends on the soil characteristics and every location is different. My neighbor has a BEAUTIFUL root cellar (10X12) that comes out from his foundation that has 8ft concrete walls, concrete ceiling, a dirt floor, and only a foot or two of dirt on top and his doesn't freeze...

    Sb 2315 - reborn after house gutting!

    CORPORATIONS CARE ABOUT PROFITS!!!!! NOT wildlife, NOT habitat, NOT hunters, and NOT what is even good for the land!!!! They won't think twice about bulldozing every tree, slough, grass patch, or drainage if it means they make more money. Just look at what is happening to the shelter belts...

    Build a root cellar?

    Good thread!! Most people think of digging when it comes to a root cellar, but in fact all one is looking for is the insulation properties of soil to preserve foods. There are lots of locations around the world where the water table is to high to dig much of anything or it's just rock so they...

    Gee Loomis...

    Over the years I've bought several rods from some of the top brands of rod makers, GLoomis, St. Croix, Fenwick, along with some saltwater brands and it's come down to two words for me the more rods I've bought.....Custom Build. I get exactly what I want, how I want it, and with the components I...

    This program is about as useful as a boat anchor in a baby carriage. I wonder how many tax dollars were spent to come up with this "Gem"?

    Booby Trap vs Trespasser

    This vid has been around for quite a while and discussed at length. The way I look at it, BOTH guys were WAY outta line here. If the landowner knew this hunter would be trespassing on that trail with enough regularity to put a tripwire there AND film it, the video evidence should have been...

    Pheasant Food Plot Mix

    Yeah, you guys might be right on the Russian Olives. A guy could go with a double shot of caragana instead. That stuff grows thick enough to stop some snow, suckers like crazy, and has plenty of stickers to make a predator think twice about pursuing something through there. Nothing stops wind...

    Pheasant Food Plot Mix

    Could be, IDK. I haven't checked in a while. Lots of them on my land and I've seen plenty of hawks, coyotes, and owls stopped dead when the rabbits, pheasants, and other little critters get under a russian olive tree which is why I like'em for pheasants. Them things poke the hell outta you.

    Pheasant Food Plot Mix

    I would go with a mixture of willows, caragana, russian olive, spruce, and junipers. Winter cover is where you will make your money if you want to keep/increase pheasant populations IMO. They can fly to find food, but will flat out just die without winter protection.

    I guess ole Gabey Baby didn't get the message that WE WON'T QUIT EITHER OR BE STEAMROLLED BY FEARMONGERING AND EXAGGERATION!! Trespassing wasn't rampant then and it isn't rampant now. Hope he cuts and pastes this post too!! Here's winkin' atcha GST!!!!

    Confidence Crank

    Lycan, I use these where there is enough current to make a seam or below dams or behind obstructions that makes white water. Try throwing them across the swift water and DON'T reel. Let the current create the action all the way across the current. I've tried to retrieve these faster, but with...

    Fort Berthold Big horns.

    You're right sweeney!! I didn't attend the meetings so I guess I'm not in the know. What I do know is this. In the 20+ years ND has had Bighorns, the population has grown to a whopping 300 animals WITH the full backing of fully trained and staffed State and Federal wildlife agencies as well...

    Fort Berthold Big horns.

    We aren't in the southwest. We are in ND, in winter. Are they going to be fed? Are they going to be contained/quarantined to make sure they make it to spring? How about preventing Mountain Lion predation or even coyotes? Dumping 30 bighorns in the middle of a reservation, collaring them...

    Confidence Crank

    For my beloved Sheyenne River.....nothing better than a Yozuri Crystal Minnow shallow runner in Blue n Silver!! It's heavy enough to cast very well in the wind, AWESOME wobble in side current and sloooooowwww retrieves, and durable enough to take rocks/trees/and hammer handles. The bottom one...

    You'll get arrested for child abuse, violations of child labor laws, child endangerment, contributing to the respectfulness of a minor, and just plain being mean. I'd try to refrain from raising your children to be helpful, respectful, and just plain good people if I were you. What a...

    Fort Peck

    Montana has very different regs so unless the rules changed recently, expect EVERY, and I do mean EVERY walleye point, hump, edge, and other structure to be FULL of tipups that get checked once a day by 4 wheeler or sled. Some of these guys are pretty territorial and many will have probably...
