    Rock Pigeons

    Yep! Eaten quite a few over the years, but you're correct on leaving the urban variety alone. Farmyard or country "Pigeons" are just fine. Breast'em out, wrap in bacon, put'em on the grill. Not thing one wrong with them. They are a dove just like the mourning, white wing, and collared doves...

    Boot shopping

    Yep! Military issue boots. I was issued insulated Navy desert camo boots to go to Afghanistan in 2007. Spent 6 months going through that wasteland of terrain with no problems. Wore them until I got out in 2010, then took them with me and used them to hunt most anything you can think of...

    Waterfowl Minimums

    No argument here snow. I wouldn't take a newbie to any of my top spots until they have a couple years under their belt. It's called "paying your dues". However, learning what it's like to hunt ducks doesn't require limits or top shelf locations. Just a place to run the newbie through the...

    Waterfowl Minimums

    My advice is to find someone to take you duck hunting before you go out and spend a bunch of money on equipment. Most waterfowlers have extra equipment they can lend a newbie looking to learn the sport.

    Big Fish vs Big Critter

    I've got two 30+ inch walleyes to my name so far this year. However, in the 35 years I've hunted the Sheyenne river valley I've seen only ONE legitimate 160 inch white tail which a buddy took with his bow a few years back. I have seen a couple 150's taken though. My money is on the fish. Be...

    Big Fish vs Big Critter

    If you ignore large sums of money and just focus on the average guy going to do either one, hunting is WAY harder than fishing to obtain a trophy IMO. Example: The chances this average guy (with boat) can access a lake where trophy walleye (10lb+) can be had are almost guaranteed. Let's say...

    Liver and onions.

    If Mrs. KDM makes fresh deer liver and onions...........I'll give you one of them "football" injuries if you get between me and the table. Any other liver is fish bait IMO. For deer liver, she cuts the liver in 1/2 inch slices from top to bottom and cuts the "skin" off the outside. Rolls the...

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    Since it's a family thing, maybe a contract for deed arrangement could be worked out that would include hunting rights with the payment plan.

    October 2019 Snowpocalypse

    Saw a guy go by the house this morning on a snowmobile. Hope he has pontoons on that thing. The ditches are FULL of water under this snow. Crazy!!!!

    October 2019 Snowpocalypse

    Getting a weathermans grab bag here in VC. Snow, sleet, rain, hail, mist, and fog all at the same time, then any combination of the aforementioned, then nothing, and then repeat at random intervals. The only constant is the wind. Nothing unusual here, move along.

    Worthless

    I think most things have a worth. Even if it's for no other purpose than to teach us what NOT to purchase or use for a particular job. However, Non-alcoholic Beer is as close to worthless as anything can get in my world.

    Dick's Sporting Goods

    The only reason they destroyed 5 mil worth of guns is because they never sold any and what they did have, rusted on the shelf and in the backroom or warehouse. They're just trying to turn an inventory loss into some sort of advertising thing for write off purposes. 'Course that's just my guess.

    New waterfowl ammo~

    Yep! Bulged the barrel on Bertha a couple years ago. I figure it was a rusted together steel shot slug as the bulge was just before the choke tube. Got lucky. I don't shoot any more "Truck Ammo" that's been in there past winter. I load up fresh ammo when I go out. At 10 bucks a box, it's...

    New to NODAK

    Excellent case in point IrishSaint73. How could I have spoken unkind words to this person "Last winter and spring" when their date of joining NDA is May of 2019?? This person was so honest and forthcoming that they needed to create a new account with a new name and instead of just welcoming...

    Federal Blue Box

    Nothing wrong with a Mossberg either. Those damn things are sure ugly to look at, but dagnabit I've seen them take a pounding and keep going "Bang". Not to expensive and just plain work. I hunted with a buddy that used a Mossberg and his gun chewed the same conditions right along with my...

    New to NODAK

    Welcome. Assuming you are/were a hunter safety instructor, you know how to contact landowners in the proper way. (Not a dig, it's just that we've had some people on here be less than honest in the past.) Respect, Honor, and Consideration are the cornerstones of that deal. As far as ducks and...

    Tailrace Shore Fishing

    1/2 oz to 1 oz white jig heads with a 4.5 inch or longer white paddle tail along with the above cranks. Long rods with larger reels spooled with 250 + yrds of 15 to 20 lb braid and floro leaders are the name of that game. 14+ lb walleyes or king salmon in heavy current are VERY possible and...

    Federal Blue Box

    Bertha didn't get her name by being dainty I can tell you that. We've chewed some pretty wicked conditions over the years, from ice and snow, to muck and mud, to bumps and thumps, to scratches and scrapes. I even lost her on the bottom of the slough for a half hour or so. She slipped from my...

    Federal Blue Box

    That was my suspicion. I've had the same stuff rolling around in my gun for years. No problems with action or functionality and I clean my gun a couple times a year. IMO, it's a cosmetic thing. Bertha is a Rem 870 pump and she's still going after 26 years of going "Bang" when I pull the...

    Federal Blue Box

    Is it actually plastic or is it some kind of sealant they sprayed around the primer and when you shoot'em the stuff flakes off in the action? Plastic and firearms SUCKS BALLS when it ends up in pieces. The plastic M16 rounds they came up with for indoor qualifying for the military back in the...
