    So, you're out fishing on your boat, and THIS guy rolls up. Now what??

    Certainly not a fishing boat but I do have to admit, that is a cool looking boat. Would it be a pain in the ass if they were playing near where you are fishing, for sure. It is, however, still a cool looking boat.

    The Problem Facing ND Waterfowl Hunting

    I think it's common to blame non-residents whenever we have a problem but let's define a non-resident. For licensing matters a non-resident is someone who doesn't live in the state. But really, a non-resident could be anyone who doesn't live in the area. Am I a non-resident when I drive a couple...

    The Problem Facing ND Waterfowl Hunting

    You mentioned one of the major issues with waterfowl hunting. Geese are staying in Canada later than they did in the past. I grew up in north central ND and when I was younger we always had snow geese in that part of the state the opening weekend of waterfowl season. Not the case now. Snow geese...

    Kitchen Countertops

    Agree with everything above except that my experience with laminate doesn't match the problems mentioned. Very durable with common sense care. Not as durable as granite or quartz but have never had one come apart on me. And today's laminate is much more attractive than previous. Have even seen...

    243 winchester with 85 TSX for elk?

    I suspect if you're asking the question you have an idea what most of the answers are going to be. Don't have a .243 but do have a .25-06 and would hesitate to use that on elk. The TSX is a good choice but at 85 gr. it's hard to make up the penetration needed for an animal the size of elk. With...

    4F private land

    Lot's of good ideas from others, don't give up on finding a landowner who may allow you to camp on his/her property. I have found that most of the ranchers in mule deer country are good and friendly people. Not all of them allow hunting or even camping but they usually have a reason. Maybe...

    Favorite Fish Batter?

    I like Andy's as well. As others have mentioned more corn meal and less flour soaks up less oil and Andy's is mostly cornmeal. A very light breading with a mild spicy flavor. There are some other's that are good but do prefer a cornmeal based breading over a flour breading. For me most beer...

    British hug anyone?

    I might do the same thing if I had just won an Olympic medal. It's a celebration and nothing more at this point. I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of well-known hunting celebrities do the same thing after a successful hunt. Never understood that much excitement or even someone hardly being able...

    Established trails in the badlands

    Fully agree. Get all your kids hunting not just the boys. Hunting is often thought of as a male sport but I have been fortunate to hunt with a few females and they do add something to the hunt. It will be different, you might have to be a little more careful where you relieve yourself and other...

    Established trails in the badlands

    Don't claim to be an expert and have hunted the badlands many times in the past 50 years. Things have changed but have never had a problem driving on a trail. I don't use a liberal definition of a trail and don't try to cheat or get away with anything. In my experience not all legal trails are...

    Leica 1600-B problems

    I'm not very good about checking the obvious when I have a problem. Sometimes makes one feel a little (lot) stupid. Like the time I called an electrician to fix a circuit that didn't seem to be working. He pressed the reset button on the GFI and it came back to life. Better than rewiring but I...

    Olympics

    Haven't checked but I did see this morning that all events were available for live cast on your computer thru NBC.

    Owning multiple vehicles

    Can't disagree or argue with anyone about how much sense it makes to drive vehicles for a long time. I have a problem in that I like to drive something new every 4 or 5 years. Helps the economy and keeps car dealers in business. Evidently I have a need for the new car smell occasionally.

    Oh the joy of winning the lottery

    Well since I was at one time a boss it's entirely possible someone might have thought that about me. Then again, as a boss, you sometimes think that about certain employees. Lucky for me in many years of being the boss I only had 2 employees who I really wanted to see go, and they both did. Made...

    Oh the joy of winning the lottery

    Rusty is correct ."HAD" is the key word. If you have had a boss who deserved this then it's time to find a new boss.

    Oh the joy of winning the lottery

    If those of you who agree with this nutcase's getting even would you actually do that? If any of you hate your job that bad it's time to move on to a job you enjoy. Life is too short to work at a job you hate. It's easy to go to work every day when you enjoy the job. Not saying every day is fun...

    Do not call list

    Fullrut is correct about the meat salesmen. Fooled me once. Did eventually choke it down but can't say I enjoyed it. Just to stubborn to throw it out and didn't have a dog to feed it to.

    Do not call list

    Really appreciate credit card companies who take the time to do this. Have had a couple calls from Cabela's card that asked the same question. Most of the charges were OK but one wasn't and they did the same as Scheel's, canceled the card, reversed the charges and issued a new card. The others...

    Do not call list

    Fullrut, don't you eat meat? I assumed everyone on here was a meat-eater and would welcome them with open arms. Don't like door to door peddlers either but do have to admit that some of them are pretty good salesman(women). Some of them can make you wish you had a headache just so you could use...

    Do not call list

    It's easy to become aggravated with these calls, OR, it can be kind of fun playing with them once you get an idea of how to answer the call. For me life is more interesting and fun when you can turn the tables on them and become the aggravator instead of the aggravated. At least the caller is...
