Round any of mine down for open mouth and they still easily meet the 12+. Hell i wouldn't mind the deduction to get one of mine below 12 for that entry. I cant find any that small:D

I think my photo above is a white crappie on the bottom? Definitely looked noticeably different then all the others (blacks) i normally catch.
I'm just not a casino guy and think casinos change the whole dynamic of a town once they are in it. Having said that, if there is one place i could see one it would be Medora, but I'm not sure Medora would want it.
For some reason tillers seem to be thought of as better river boats. I've owned a 16' Lund tiller for 17 years and although its a great little boat boat, yes it can be hard to see objects from the back of the boat, yes they are colder, and yes they are wetter. There are many times i wish i had...
I quick search revealed that there are about 80,000 pheasant hunters, 50,000 deer tags, 50,000 waterfowl hunters in ND per year. If even half of pheasant hunters (40,000) were willing to buy an extra $50 PLOTS stamp, that's $2,000,000 per year!
Do you think this private land is OPEN to sportsman for free? You are already paying for it through license fees. So it is already private land open to sportsman who are forced to pay through license fees. At least a stamp gives people the option of contributing more money to a valuable program...
One of the problem with prices on these smaller used boats is that nobody really buys new boats this size anymore, so the used market never has more inventory. Its kind of a rotation of the same 70's-80's red Lunds with a few 90's-00's. These boats hit a certain price and just never go down...
The digger has a metal L-bracket that does support the head and generally prevents it from spinning. On long bumpy runs i do usually still attach a bungee cord from the auger handle to the Atv rack just for reassurance.
Digger does have a new more heavy-duty carrier that has the clamp and...
I use the digger and i think its worth it. Super easy/secure and doesn't take up much space on your rack. I mounted the digger as far forward as possible and then made my own wood box to fill up the rest of the rack, no wasted space! Otter box for back of the atv with slide on rod case and...
As far as gas augers go, Strike master has the best engines Solo/Honda, and Eskimo may have the best blades. I have the Honda Strikemaster with both lazer and chipper fighting. On good ice there is probably nothing better than lazer blades, but this is ND! I use the chipper on the Missouri...
How well does that actually do in deep snow? Basically have you ever been stuck? The approach angle of mattracks has always concerned me, and reviews seem to solidify that concern.

Speaking of tracks, it looks like Camso (camoplast) came out with a new ATV track for Atv's...
Yeah part of the problem with Bismarck the last 5 years is lack of lots. Like you said your choices are pretty much high-end unless you want to build in a flood prone field in far South Bismarck. Part of the reason for Mandan's/Lincon's explosion is they actually had reasonable lot prices...
