    Trail Camera Advice

    Most of the cameras won't be used for direct hunting. We have property a long ways away and it is fun to see what is around. That said, it does add some fun and excitement to see a deer on camera you "may" have a shot at. Sure it may give a bit of an advantage but to me it's not about that...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can anyone tell me why my started tomato plants all died? They came up great, got to about 1 1/2" tall where I was just getting ready to thin them. But then, they all wilted and died. I think they were too wet possibly? They appeared very spindly right at the soil. I planted them in seed...

    Trail Camera Advice

    Thanks for the feedback! The M80's aren't really much more. I am glad someone mentioned the C batteries in the A5! Looks like the 1st generation was C and the 2nd is AA.

    Trail Camera Advice

    Thanks! After doing some research tonight I am leaning towards Moultries. A-5's can be had for a pretty good price these days.

    Trail Camera Advice

    Looking for some guidance on trail camera purchases for this upcoming year. Looking to get 4-6 if possible for use in various locations. Some locations will be public ground so I don't want them to be that high end. Just a decent camera that takes decent photos. Any thoughts/advice on which...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got my seeds going and typical me have too much water in them. Starting to droop, hope I can save most of them. Onions have been in and are growing like crazy. Didn't do much for fall garlic (forgot) but have a bunch of spring garlic in, will see how it goes, not expecting much. It is coming...

    Bacon

    I did my first bacon batches this winter and they turned out great. I used Tenderquick at 1TBS per pound. Cut them into 1 pound chunks, rubbed with the TQ, then sealed in a bag. Let them sit for 1 day per 1/2" of thickness plus a couple days. Usually 6-7 day cure, flipping once during that...

    Smoking Pheasant breasts

    Smoking Pheasant breasts

    I did a bunch this winter. I learned a few things. First, brine is necessary. Second, cover the skin with something, I used bacon. the outer layer becomes almost leather without it. And last, either go beer can style or stuff them to help them from drying out. My first batch I did bare...

    Kicker: Tiller or Steering Wheel?

    I much prefer the tiller if you have good room to stand and use it. It all depends on boat setup. I like having all the rods in front of me rather than beside and behind me. I see the fish hit or snags before anyone else in the front of the boat. I hate looking back constantly from the...

    Spinners

    Silver, brass, purple, green, and chartreuse. I have too many colors as I have seen a color totally dominate a day. I keep them short when I tie them, 36" max. Seem to get more snags when I went longer. Big beads and blades too. Oh and I really like willow leaf blades too, especially for...

    Coming to a reservoir near you

    The best you can do is what WY is doing. First, require inspection of each and every vessel that crosses into the state. Provide decontamination units at each station. Second, put out a HUGE public information campaign to educate boaters in the state. Provide decontamination at popular lakes...

    Sweet Jesus whats next

    You won't have to be that close to take a peek at it. It will be similar to driving down the street and being able to watch a big screen TV through the window. Might actually be nice, you get one guy on each side of you and who needs side imaging LOL!

    Questions about Last Mountian Lake in Saskatchewan

    The disappointing part of Ft. Peck is the almost never reliable ice conditions. Way to many gas pockets and big winds that make the ice crappy. Add in the garbage access to the lake and then you understand why there are such big fish there.

    Boat Trailer Replacement Fenders

    Has anyone bought replacement fenders for their "average" Shorelandr trailer? I have the white ones with built in top and side steps and am in need of replacement. Shorelandr is a PITA to deal with and it seems like there are lots of similar options out there for a lower cost. But, nothing I...

    Tree planting ?'s

    Yes, it is hard to work between them. Our smallest disc is 14' and it does not fit, well it does if you tear the shit out of the fabric. We may have found a smaller one and hope to be able to use it. I would like to do a bunch of hand replants and then keep things black.

    Tree planting ?'s

    We did a good amount of trees in the mid 2000's with fabric into CRP type ground. The conservation folks recommended not mowing or tilling along the rows, only to rely on the fabric. Well, it was a pretty big failure. Some made it but they are all stunted IMO. Really disappointed and wish we...

    Montana Big Game Combo Tags

    Do they still allow you to send them back (minus the 10% or whatever) if you don't draw your special unit? Basically, you apply for the combo. Once you get that, you can apply for the special units. The unit we used to apply for was like 8% odds. Enough better over the counter options that...

    Do-it-yourselfers strike again

    PrairieGhost, hope all turns out well! This HGTV crap just makes me wonder how many people get into "oh shit" mode not very far into their "easy" project. They omit about 99% of the actual project and show nothing other than huge issues. I have been in the industry for a long time and I still...

    Used boat shopping.....

    So I'm just getting started doing a little new to me boat shopping. Nothing crazy, just looking at 17' is aluminum, four stroke 115hp +, 15k-20k range. Just a good used rig. I've always watched online ads (Walleye Central, etc.) and have saved a lot of different boats for price comparison...
