    2016 ND Deer Opener

    Many years ago had a chance to be done in the first 5-10 minutes. Nice buck came out and I decided I could do better if I waited. Waited the whole season and never saw a better one. Filled my tag the last day with a 1 1/2 year old little basket rack. As I watched that first buck run away I was...

    Meth much? One more reason to carry.

    Correct. Was on the news they got him either last night or early this morning. Someone reported a person of interest camping on his property. Police checked on the report and a fire-fight began with the killer not surviving. That's good news for me as there will be no trial and expense. Thanks...

    Converting Camper into Ice House

    It will work. Don't have any idea how close your estimates for material are without a little more detailed (measurements, etc.) plan. If you're going to sleep in it make sure your heater is ventilated and consider a carbon monoxide detector. Regulations say any fishhouse must be floatable but...

    A Nervous Father.............................

    Never had a girl of my own but I do understand the nervous part. I sense you trust her from your comments and that is most important. If you trust her you believe that she knows right from wrong and that will make all the difference. Enjoy your time with her, they grow up to fast.

    ND g&f

    I had no idea that G&F was also in charge of camping. I don't think they can be blamed for not providing that information. What disturbs me most is the inconsideration of a call not being returned. Very unprofessional in any line of work. As far as being harassed by a game warden, I've been...

    Gun storage

    Have had good luck with wiping them down and storing in silicon sleeves. Pretty inexpensive and seem to prevent rust for me.

    What do you make to eat for hunting?

    How is it that no one has mentioned fresh deer liver and onions. Add some fried potatoes and a few beers and you have a fiest.

    Vintage sled heads

    Are you sure it would do 75mph? My Polaris 432 would do about 50mph on a smooth hard surface. With the suspensions back then I always thought 50mph felt like 75-80mph.

    Vintage sled heads

    Pictures bring back a lot of memories. I had one like the Polaris 432 that is pictured. Thought I really had something. Never really checked for rules and not sure how legal it was but there were a lot of foxes hunted with snowmobiles back in the day. Never got in trouble for it as there weren't...

    Bincoculars---what to get...this don't get discussed enough

    That will depend on how steady you are and it's different for everyone. I'm not as steady as I was when younger. Still stand by my advice to try different sets to see which you prefer for the same reason, everyone is a little different. Don't use a tripod with binoculars but do rest them on...

    Bincoculars---what to get...this don't get discussed enough

    I like my Nikons. I suggest you go to a store and look thru some (not in the store, take them outside.) Look for clarity all around the lens. Find what fits best in your hands, how they feel against your eyes and then buy the best pair you can afford. If they won't send a salesman outside with...

    One of the best quotes I've read lately.

    9 man football play offs

    9-Man is so hard to predict. Every region has 1 or 2 good teams and then the talent generally falls way off. That and there aren't many common opponents to compare with. What it seems to generally be true is that in 9-Man, speed is the key. Same size field as 11-Man and 2 less defenders. For...

    Wood or synthetic stock?

    For me there is no argument on which is better for all types of hunting. Based on that I would take synthetic. However, there is just something about a nice wood-grained stock on a gun. Love the look and feel. For the shooting I do I've never had a problem with accuracy on wood-grained gun. Long...

    Things my dog has rolled in

    Wasn't my dog but a buddy had his dog find a hole in the ground. Nothing special about the hole other than at one time there was an outhouse parked on top of said hole. Parked at one time indicates that the outhouse was now gone. Dog had great fun digging in the hole. Not a pleasant smell when...

    Need youth stock for Howa 1500 long action

    Have no idea what your current stock is like but if you like the stock you could look at an even cheaper stock and cut that off to install and you still have your current stock for later. Just for my interest why would you be looking at a .243 when you have the .25-06. There are a lot of...

    Things my dog has rolled in

    Old oil from a fish fry. Thought I dumped it far enough out in the field.

    Granite or Quartz Countertops?

    Yes granite can stain, it's a natural stone. Then again, how often have you walked in a house and thought "Man, that's a nasty stain on the granite countertop"? It's just not that common. Now, think about how often you have been talked into buying something other than what your really wanted...

    Been so pissed at the old lady you wanted to cut her nipples off?

    No woman has ever made me mad enough to even consider raising a hand against her. Walk away? many times. I'm sure they exist but have never felt anywhere near enough threatened by a woman that any form or abuse was a consideration. Walk away and the argument is over. At least the part that...

    Euro Mounts done at Fort KDM Now.

    KDM - You don't say how much experience you have had with horned animals. If you've never done an antelope and are learning on the job you do need to know that the beetles will eat the horns because they are not antlers like on a deer or elk. Take them off before placing in the beetle bin. Good...
