    Van Hook Resort or Brendle's

    Hotels are the best bet. The cabins referred to are booked, tried a month ago. Going to be a zoo of people up there this summer I think. I will be there to pillage in July!

    Drag racing strip in Jamestown?

    Good luck with a from the ground up drag strip. A very wealthy family built an incredibly nice track north of Pierre. It ran for several years but is now shut down because it never made enough to cover costs, they subsidized it to keep it open. Fun to go fast...however technology today...

    Which sport you watching in the winter olympics?

    We had an American man win a world championship last year. But, that was an anomaly. Think about what you need to do true biathlon- groomed ski trails with a proper shooting area. Not many places even have groomed ski trails. In SD I help groom the only groomed trails in the state. Wyoming...

    Which sport you watching in the winter olympics?

    Cross country skiing can be boring to watch, but once you have done it you have a whole new respect level for those athletes. Skate skiing in particular is well known as the most difficult aerobic activity out there. I do it and it kills you! Incredible workout. Now, add in shooting to that...

    Another school shooting~

    This is spot on. While I agree there are more and more factors that affect kids these days, including social media, the media coverage, technology, video games, etc. the bottom line is pretty well stated above. Kids today DO NOT handle adversity well. Lots of reasons for it, but I see it...

    Marathons

    Put in the time, period. Start small, make mileage gains each week. For me, seeing that distance on the watch get longer and longer is fulfilling. Put in the long slow runs, but add in some speed here and there too. A four miler faster than you have ever gone beats and average 8 miler on any...

    You get to pay sales tax in ND for cabelas purchases.....

    You've been lucky. We've paid tax on it for years in SD with the Mitchell store being the first. Big companies, like Amazon, are starting to charge tax on everything to avoid the heat from the states. SD is yelling and screaming about tax revenue below projection and 100% of the blame is...

    Smoke pole

    Honest question- inline muzzleloader with saboted bullets, open sights, what is the real effective range? I mean I am the first to say I am not a crack rifle shot. With a centerfire rifle w/9x scope I don't stretch it beyond 250-275. I can't imagine I would be anywhere near comfortable...

    Fly rod fishing - trout/salmon - Gear recommendations

    The questions above are needed to really answer. Where you are fishing, what you are fishing for, and budget all play a factor. Some of the stuff I fish a 7'6" 4 wt is great in small streams with lots of cover/trees around them. A 5or 6 wt. in a 9' can do a lot of different things and can be...

    Ice fishing DIY/shack mods/equipment

    3 inch wide strips of 1/4 inch thick UHMW plastic are better than any factory runners. Keep them off gravel and pavement and they will slide like greased lightning. Or, drag them over everything like I do and they still slide well. Best twenty bucks ever spent.

    The Food Plot & Habitat Thread

    Yes, there are some good starting points down there. We just have no attracting power, there is good ag land all surround and lots of pheasant driven food plots. We are hoping something different out there will help attract deer to the area rather than just passing through. Plenty of cover to...

    The Food Plot & Habitat Thread

    I've read a lot of good info on here and thought it would be great to have a place where everyone could share their food plot & habitat work in one place. Sharing what worked for you/didn't sure is helpful to those of us starting out. I'm just starting out on a couple different projects, the...

    Trail Cam Pics 2017

    Velvet sure makes them look big! First year testing out cameras and it is addicting! Really adds to the anticipation of the season. Each time I sit in the tree I see the pictures in my head and hope they show up. Hasn't happened yet but it's been fun!

    Scent drags?

    Anyone use scent drags with much success? I have a couple stands that are just a few yards off where they should be and I need to be able to pull a buck across into range. Thoughts? I know a few guys who swear by dragging scents, they say time after time deer cross the scent and follow it...

    Vintage snowmobiles

    Got some Moto-Skis sitting around collecting dust. Nothing racy just 73 F340s and an older doo clone. If anyone is interested they'd go cheap. New sleds are wicked. Mountain sleds weigh less than 420 pounds and make 165hplans stock. The old tanks weigh 450 pounds and make 30hp lol!

    Lowrance or Humminbird for ice fishing

    That makes sense with the DI/SI. I never looked at the DI capabilities on the ice version, which there are none. So, Helix 5 ICE for $500, or the Helix 5 G2 GPS for $300? The ice transducer is $100 while their complete setup is $250. Blue Box and I think I'm good. Just need to know if the...
