    Boot Review - Scheels Crispi Summit

    Have been a Mendel guy for years. This year purchased ultralight uninsulated. https://www.cabelas.com/product/footwear/mens-footwear/mens-hunting-boots/pc/104797980/c/104747580/sc/104826780/cabelas-ultralight-hunter/2498565.uts?slotId=1 Major disappointment. Slipped them on and began walking...

    Starting to go a little overbord

    Thanks for the map Davey. That is actually a map of zip codes or sportsmen who traveled to Wisconsin's CWD hot zones. It's not a map of harvested positives. CWD was diagnosed 51 years ago by Dr. Beth Williams at a government research facility doing nutritional studies on cervids. Before that...

    He has been under the radar lately. The Republicans probably have him under a microscope. Six years ago, the last time (D) Jon Tester was up for re-election, Land Tawney's non-profit Montana Hunters And Anglers Action, (501(c)4) spent $1.2 million against Tester's opponent. That's a lot of...

    You guys crack me up. Attack the messenger. But since you brought up elk. Let's go back to espringers original article. Notice CWD? Earlier this week, more than 70 of the best outdoor media, conservation experts and industry leaders gathered in Bozeman, Montana, for the Theodore Roosevelt...

    9,500,000 public acres landlocked?!

    This is a money thing so I believe it has to go through the House. Some of those who oppose are Reps. John Culberson of Texas, Darrell Issa of California, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Kevin Yoder of Kansas. So now the League of Conservation Voters are targeting them with smear ads. Give us...

    Never heard of these Wilks brothers nor why we are supposed to hate them. They got rich selling their fracking business and bought land in Montana. They inherited this access across their land mess and it would seem they are trying to cooperate granting access to public land. The problem...

    Thank you. They say a picture speaks a thousand words. This from espringers article concerning getting journalist to write the story. Usually these functions are attended by badges and other invited mandatory attendees. The journalists are only supposed to hear one side.

    Who are the Wilkes brothers? Some of you guys are waaaaay more into this than you are letting on. Meelosh, do you work for the government?

    Laughing...…..actually I'm making phone calls all morning, writing, compiling, organizing, compartmentalizing on my computer because I have to run a banquet tonight. Shit, have not even been out the door yet today.

    The issue "is" these issues must be kept in front of the public so they can get the $Millions they desire for the LWCF.

    If you believe the State has Billions stashed, well....then that is what you believe. We all know the fed/gov does not have the same luxury. $19 Trillion or more in debt. The Land Water Conservation Fund did sun set in 2015. Resuscitated since. Will it be saved at the last minute Sept. 30th...

    9,500,000 public acres landlocked?!

    Four days ago Governor Doug Burgum reported: The state drained about $800 million from reserve funds to balance the current general fund budget, and those savings must be replenished. "Our revenue numbers are up but not up enough to cover the gap," he said...

    Ha, it's fun to watch you government boyz trying to carve out money destined for a General Treasury. Kind of like the ND 5% oil revenue rip off ballot measure. Ducks Unlimited spokespersons made the very same claim, it would not increase taxes. However, oil revenue would have been diverted away...

    Yep, have one in my home town. A building burned down on main so they built a cement park with a fake waterfall pumping water 24/7. Everyone uses the City Park just two blocks away with grass, trees, kids playground and gazebo. Meelosh, do you work in government?

    I stop in but have been very busy. It's all so predictable. Espringers posts something newsworthy and then certain posters make it about bad landowners. What this issue is about was in the last paragraph of the article. Crisis....Crisis...Crisis...the Land Water Conservation Slush Fund is...

    Goose Loads

    Put up a 2' by 2' target. Back up 40 yards. Should be at least 34 pellet holes. If there isn't....get a Pattern Master. 3 inch BB Winchester or Fiocci. Buy 'em early for $12 a box of 25. A person might think that a sporting goods store would have them on sale at the end of the season but nope...

    Interesting discussion on CWD...

    I don't believe an instant test is going to be available anytime soon. The "kit" will show where to collect samples and where to send it. The results will say, "CWD not detected". I believe scrapies has been bred out of sheep. Some sheep are immune to the mis-folded protein prion or TSE. So...

    Interesting discussion on CWD...

    It takes the NDG&F awhile to collect samples. They are then sent to the University of Michigan. If a suspect is found they forward to Aimes Iowa who then notify NDG&F who in turn inform the sportsmen he has a positive in his/her freezer. This process can take 3 months. Much of a deer can be...

    Interesting discussion on CWD...

    Bobkat, sportsmen can purchase a test kit from SAWCORP for $14.95. The lab work is an additional $50 to get the results. I believe the lab work is to be done at a genomes lab in Fargo. If something suspect is found they will forward to Aimes Iowa...
