    The tiny house craze.......

    What does everyone think about the new tiny house craze? Watching HGTV tonight and watching these folks look for tiny houses was interesting. Living in a "house" that is 100-250 sq. ft. is interesting. The concept is interesting to me but not realistic in many ways as well. I have designed...

    Garden?

    I just planted all my onions today. Garlic is coming up nicely that I planted last fall. Did a spring planting of garlic as well just to see what I can come up with. Tomatoes, peppers, and celery (first time trying), and the herb garden is planted and waiting for the good weather on top of...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    The answer to the minimum size restriction is no in lakes that receive moderate to high pressure. The over fish get taken as soon as they become legal size and soon you get a pile of fish right below the legal limit. Few get to grow up beyond that. The lake has to be able to produce a huge...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    http://gf.nd.gov/magazines/may-2013/weighing-effects-length-limits The above article does a good job of explaining each. I fish a lake in W SD that has a slot. Lake was a minimum length lake but changed to a slot. It gets a ton of pressure and harvest. The slot has been good for fishing but...

    Booyah rig

    I've tried trolling umbrella rigs and it's just too much drag for me. Didn't light the world on fire either as far as catching. That setup looks good though, let us know how it goes.

    Standing Rock Deer tags

    OK lets simplify- those are deer of a lifetime in that area. You will have a shot at one sometime, but it won't be every year or two or ten. The average is much, much less. Yes, some guys always kill a big one. But that is the case anywhere. Far as numbers I can't comment on ND. However...

    Standing Rock Deer tags

    I know those deer are legit. They're just not representative of the average deer found there. Far from it in fact. The state gave out 432 tags in Corson County to Residents and non residents. 108 any deer, rest were any whitetail. Plus whatever ND gave out. So take that 550 for...

    Standing Rock Deer tags

    How many mule deer tags did the tribe sell? 550? Are you serious? The state has given out 50 or 100 any deer tags per year for the last several for all of Corson County. Unless I misunderstood the number of 550 correct me, but that is simply gross negligence on their part. There are nowhere...

    Macks smile blades or Spinners?

    I have had really good success on Smile blades. This summer had a few days where they drastically outproduced spinners. Hot, calm days where the fish didn't want to react. Otherwise I would say they are similar in success for me. Yes, you can't fish them to 2mph but you sure can pull them...

    spinner database...

    14# to 17# XT. Keeps the tangles minimized. I tried the 6# and 8# spinners and won't go back again. Much fewer messes with heavier line.

    Spring Snows

    There has been lots of snow goose spreads for sale the last few years. People are figuring out spring hunting is hard work with little guarantee of success. Hatches, weather, mud, etc. all take their toll. If you've been in the market for decoys you have probably made out well! I sold mine...

    spring adult pheasants

    Yes I know several people that have used them. In the southern half of SD they can get three batches ran through in a summer. The big thing is the temp can't go below mid 50's at night or you will lose birds. The machine has a heater but you need temps above that range for survival. I would...

    Conservation organization fundraising in today's world?

    All the conservation organizations do something for us as hunters. DU is an easy target for people. I am far from agreeing for with everything they do but they've made more of an impact that almost any other organization. I'll still buy a membership, I'm just not going to go to a...

    spring adult pheasants

    If you are really serious and have the money, buy a Surrogator. I've seen a couple guys turn a place that had no pheasants into a pheasant circus in just a few years. 65 or so birds at a time from chicks. Survival rate is much higher than pen raised (pen raised is about 1-2%). Yes, there is...

    Odd fly fishing question

    Above response is spot on. Do a Google search for Carp flies. Selection isn't critical, stealth is. I always thought those carp I saw cruising in the boat would be easy. They're not. Gotta find shallow, feeding fish. Then be STEALTHY! Fun, maxed out a 6 wt. a few times.

    Conservation organization fundraising in today's world?

    A conversation today about conservation organization fundraising made me want to see what other opinions you guys have. I've been a member of several conservation organizations for years. I've been on committees, been the chairman of the event, been the chapter contact. Been through it all...

    Hernia

    I had in inguinal hernia not a bilateral. However, I was stiff/store and didn't want to do much for 3 days. I took a week to feel good, probably ten days to be running again. Mostly healed by 3 weeks, no pain or signs of the surgery after 6 weeks. Wasn't bad. I don't like doctors...

    Skid Steer's what to get?

    I have been through John Deere, Bobcat, and New Holland. JD is last on my list for lots of reasons. Bobcats are tough and dealers are everywhere. A little crude at times even with newer machines. We have a brand new Bobcat and New Holland and I would personally take the New Holland any day...

    Portable Ice House- Heater Options

    The Buddy I've got works fine. I just get sick of how big it is. I have a 5# I can use, so tanks aren't the issue. Mainly, I'm looking for the most compact, light heater that will heat my shack. I'm a bit south of you guys and I often don't have enough ice to do anything but walk on. And...
