    Drowning death

    I can't imagine any tougher thing to deal with than the death of a child. Sympathies to the family.

    Any idea when deer applications will be available?

    Don't have an answer for youth mule deer tags but did read where the mule deer count was another year with an increase. That article suggested that the G&F is most likely considering mule deer doe permits in most if not all units. Don't know about whitetail but it seemed to me that during the...

    Well my boat has built in AC now....

    Wonder why it takes 6 weeks to get a windshield. If this was your car or truck you could have the windshield tomorrow and probably installed that day or the next. I'm also pretty sure your car or truck windshield cost would not approach $1000. Then again it's been a long time since I've...

    The story of Luca's Avitar

    Kind of like some TV shows such as Jerry Springer. I can't watch for more than a few minutes and think "People can't be that stupid." and then realize they can be and that they vote and breed. Hilarious for awhile until you begin to think in reality.

    Summer softball 2017

    Played a lot back in the day. Tournament most weekends but rarely did we do to a 2-3 day tournament. A Sunday tournament in towns less than an hour drive away provided lots of entertainment without costing much and taking the whole weekend. Quit when I realized I could no longer go from 1st to...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    I find this all very interesting but am beginning to think it might be easier to just sneak a couple hundred yards closer and use what I've been using all these years.

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    Therein lies my problem. Just about all of my hunting has involved deer and the 130gr. bullets work great for deer out of a .270. For that reason I'm interested in this this post so I can maybe learn from the experience of others.

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    I love the TTSX as well but do you find them a little slow expanding for lighter skinned animals like deer. That is one reason I would like to try the 110g on deer if I can ever get a tag. The 130g performed perfectly one a bull elk. entered one shoulder, came to rest next to skin in the far...

    Our "Real Job"

    My most important job is being grandpa. Teaching grandkids about the important things in life (mostly fishing and hunting) takes a lot of time. On my days off I enjoy watching them in other sporting activities.

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    Haven't done a lot of experimenting because I have had really good results with the very common 56.5gr of H4831SC and 130 gr. bullets. Have shot a lot of 130 Nosler Ballistic Tip as well as Accubonds. They do fine on deer size game, a little thin skinned for anything bigger I think. Have also...

    Restoring stock and barrel on shotgun?

    If you have some worn spots on the stock I would consider a good rub down with linseed oil as well as the rust inhibitor on the metal.

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    I'm amazed this topic received this many comments. Some cats need to be taken care of and should be done quietly so no one knows. In town, live traps and exhaust works well. Especially if you're the only one who knows where the cat went. Quietly take care of the problem is the key.

    Unit 30 Turkey

    Everything that was said above and don't think you have to do all your calling early in the morning. Once hens start nesting toms will respond to calls during the middle of the day. Patience is key. When you think you don't know anyting about calling a turkey, all of a sudden one is going to...

    Wood ticks

    I have had some success in reducing (not eliminating) the amount of ticks with a good dose of insect repellant on lower body before going out. Especially spray on boots and lower legs. Then again having a few ticks is a good reason to have your wife check the nethe-rlands of your body after you...

    Septic Holding Tank question

    Proper drain fields work fine when installed properly and per the rules. If I'm not mistaken, one of the rules in ND is a minimum size lot to have a drain field. Thought I read where a minimum lot size was one acre of land for a drain field. Not many lake lots that big. That does not explain...

    Are Weber grills worth the $$

    I agree with the others. Well worth the money. Don't know it will always be this way but as mentioned they are easy to overhaul. Grates from a grill 20 years ago are still the same size as are the burners and other parts. Today's parts fit in grills of old. One reason they are so easy to...

    Boots for mountains

    Have had Meindl and Kennetrek. Both very good but a slight nod to Kennetreks. Think Flatrock has the best answer. All depends on the fit. I have a wider foot and it seemed that both of the brands I mentioned fit better than Danners, for example. When I bought my Kennetreks I thought the Irish...
