    What is This Fish?!!

    Bugle-Trout. That's a universal term for every fish with a carpesque mouth-shape.

    Youth Shotgun reviews and comparison

    Circa 1984/85 my dad brought home a shiny 'spankin new H&R single-shot 20ga. The case colors on the frame I thought were the most beautiful thing in the world. The problem was I could BARELY operate the button to break open the action and the hammer-spring was so strong that it was dangerous...

    Youth Shotgun reviews and comparison

    2nd vote for a youth Beretta gasser. Really anything in their lineup from a 302 on up through the A400. Beretta recently launched an A300 Outlander in 20Ga that's <$800, not sure if they're offering a short stock yet, but, that's what chop/band saws are for. I started my now 13yr old off...

    Number 1 Game and Fish violation in 2021.....

    In the pictured cases, tags were all filled w/a few days left before we had to be home so no issue regarding missing out on anything other than maybe trying to shoot a few varmints.

    Zeroing .22 LR

    CZ should shoot much better than that assuming it's being driven properly. I suspect the problem is the nut behind the trigger.

    Number 1 Game and Fish violation in 2021.....

    It's been a "better safe than sorry" situation. Neither of us looked deeply into what needs to be done, but we knew there's no way we'd have a problem doing what we did. As far as the "stuff" goes, it's kind of like the 2nd spare tire. You make/leave space because you know that piece of gear...

    For the "over-limit" counts, I'd be more inclined to look @ groups w/2-3 boats and 4-5 guys/boat staying in town/resorts/campgrounds for 5-7 days. Same goes for waterfowl and upland hunters who use their 2 7 day periods back-to-back, where are all the birds going? - - - Updated - - - Neither...

    Zeroing .22 LR

    Always been a 50yd zero for 22LR guy. For gophers that are close you just aim where the body line and the ground come together.

    Number 1 Game and Fish violation in 2021.....

    Either baiting/using luring scents in one of the units closed to baiting/scents, OR, moving any part of the brain/spinal column out of one of the CWD designated units or from out of state. Spent a couple of days doing this in order to bring intact deer skulls rather than just skull caps back...

    Well, when ND G&F did game-checks at the airports and reported the results, people got righteously irritated with the ~90% violation rate. So the solution became to stop doing game checks at the airports. Being checked 1 day on Devils Lake out of ~500-600 days on the lake is an awful long ways...

    European Mount Hanging

    For Mule Deer I like a board that tips the nose up about ~30 degrees, otherwise the antlers just stick straight out off the wall. A mount/board like this: For Whitetails I don’t use a board/mount at all. I either use this pictures hanger or just tie a short loop in the 3 skull holes in the...

    1.1 Tickets/day in Ramsey County? With just a little effort they could write 20-30 tickets/day on Hwy's 2, 20, and 57 on any given Friday afternoon, Sat AM, or Sunday afternoon from Memorial Day to Labor Day for drain-plug, live well, and out of state bait alone. With a bit of a concerted...

    If enforcement of game laws rather than protecting tourists $$ was the primary concern of wardens who patrol the DL basin they’d be writing 300 violations/Mo rather than 1.1/day. Fri-Monday there should be game checks of both incoming and outgoing vehicles/boats. Incoming non-ND purchased...

    Midsouth has N165 today. Also, Powder Valley has Ramshot Big Game which looks to be just a touch faster burning than N150.

    And the 'Sconi's roll in with hulls/lower units full of zebra muscles and everybody looks the other way. 400 tickets in one year on/around Devils Lake???? They gave out over half that many at stings at the Fargo and Bismarck airports on the Monday after Pheasant opener somewhere between '05...

    That number means that Devils Lake area wardens are averaging just over 1 ticket/day, must be some real "Go-Getters!!". Apparently tourism has been prioritized over any hint of actual enforcement.
