    Sturgis, anyone going?

    Sounds like a pretty weak rally coming this year. Everyone got fired up for the 75th and now not near as many are coming this year. Buddy runs a house rental outfit and he has had very little demand this year. Which for me is nice! I hate rally week LOL!

    SD West River & Black Hills deer lottery results out .

    Last year while elk hunting I ran across a group of nice mulies. The biggest was probably in the 175 class and he is by far the nicest muley I have seen in the hills. Some of the foothills areas can hold nice deer but this was up high in the middle of the hills. That said, I would not for a...

    $700 rifle

    Some good points brought up. Here is my personal opinion- 1- Your $700 price range is good. Still a quality gun to interest people yet keep costs reasonable. 2- AR's will bring money but a quality bolt action rifle is the widest appeal. Either work with a dealer that will allow you to...

    full body dec's

    Some of my best hunts have been on the "little" or "crappy" feed. I finally figured out, especially with snows, that the mega feed isn't always it. Give me a fall hunt in a field with good cover and 5k snows any day over the two sections of geese a few miles away. Same goes for ducks and...

    full body dec's

    A few of the best options I have found (or thought of) for leading edge snow geese, may or may not include decoys- 1- Anti aircraft guns 2- Sneak in the dark to their roost, then Arkansas them as first light 3- Garbage and grocery bags (they work as well as full bodies with leading edge...

    Arrow Hypothetical

    Side subject but had a buddy find a 280" elk shed with a G5 Montec stuck squarely in it. That guy what concentrating on the wrong "spot" when he squeezed the release. Amazing you found that buck skull like that!

    Salmo Hornet Favorite Colors

    That is a good deal from Cabelas! I have had great luck with the Dalmatian color. Seems like it imitates small white bass and crappies.

    Salmon & Downriggers- Tackle Recommendations

    Any recommendations on colors? Green is a must from what I've been told. I've also had guys tell me black and clear flashers can be a must have. Any of course silver/holographic. One neat idea I've seen is running the flasher off the ball of the rigger on a short leader. Then, run your...

    full body dec's

    I too would say the average is 10 dz. plus. The guys hunting the Missouri River are running 3-400 on a regular basis. And, IMO, birds are getting used to it. I switched to silos and have seen ZERO difference in how the birds work. Before I sold all my FB's I mixed them and had great hunting...

    Salmon & Downriggers- Tackle Recommendations

    After doing some salmon fishing in Alaska last summer I have gotten some interest in chasing them on Lake Oahe. Seems to be some guys on here that chase them on Sak so figured I could get some advice on tackle. I've acquired a two downriggers and mounts for the boat for basically nothing. Am...

    Roughrider Gamebird Taxidermy???

    For anyone who has been in the business, does a 1 year law make it difficult to make the business work? I mean for a full time guy I don't see it being an issue. But would it be hard for the part time guy? The WY law is something I think most states should have. One year from drop off to...

    Cargo Trailer Conversions

    I had the same size trailer and set it up exactly how you described. Divider to the rear area separated the front from the back. I kept all the goose decoys and duck full bodies in the rear area. The front was use for blinds, floaters, etc. I like the trailer lined with plywood and something...

    Changing lawn mower oil filter ( epic fail)

    My cheapo mower doesn't run a filter. And, the drain is right tight to the deck before it rises into a curve. Impossible to change without getting oil everywhere. F-ing engineers LOL!

    Zebras in Lake Winnipeg

    Incorrect. While an adult mussel can attach at any time, the real threat is the immature mussels found in the water that may be in your boat. These immature velligers can live for a couple weeks in the water in the bottom of the boat or livewell. You go fishing in a new lake, fill and drain...

    ND zebra mussels

    I'm not into the liberal government debate. What I will say is that the training was very down to earth and reasonable and WY has good intentions. I truly believe from the information presented (biased or not) that WE AS HUMANS are the number one way these creatures are moved from one body of...

    ND zebra mussels

    LOL this is pretty much how WY does it. You explanation reminds me of the roadrunner thrust move from the movie Armageddon, not quite perfect but gets the point across! Ask the WY folks at the I90 check station how ZM head west. They find lots of boat a year coming from infested waters...

    Another grill recommendatiion thread!

    It seems everyone is one way or another. Right now I am leaning towards the gas. The food I've had off the pellet grills is good but not mind blowing. Everyone keeps taking about dried out and burnt food on a gas and I don't have that problem. The Smoke Hollow deal is super cheap and might...

    ND zebra mussels

    While not 1000% true, it is EXTREMELY rare for a bird to be able to transport zebra mussels from one body of water to another based on the training I attended. Frist, adult mussels need a solid substrate to attach to. Second, the immature mussels (veligers) are found in water and though they...

    ND zebra mussels

    I've gone through the WYGF private inspector training. It is 8 hours long and LEGIT. It was extremely eye opening and informative. The WY program is aggressive but yet flexible in many ways. The WY legislature set aside good money as "seed" money for the program. The sale of R and NR Aquatic...

    Frying pan ???

    I love cast iron but I don't use it for frying. Must be just me, but cast iron gets darn hot and stays hot but heats extremely unevenly. Not really what I like in a frying pan. I have a newer Lodge skillet and a an older dutch oven that I feel are both seasoned well and neither are what I...
