    ND Game & Fish

    I don't believe it was totally weather, but combined with loss of habitat that accounted for a huge loss of deer for a couple of years. In my opinion far more than the 140K licenses sold by G&F. I happen to know several landowners in a pretty big block of land that were very fussy about who was...

    ND Game & Fish

    I agree with Wags, there are ways to improve your chances of drawing a tag. I don't know if the ND system is perfect but it's better than some states. Where there are no preference points you can wait a long time for a tag. In a state where you can purchase points it can turn into a rich man's...

    Olympics

    Let's be honest. Whom among us didn't feel a sense of "good for you" during the last Olympics when Costas came down with the eye infection. Didn't it feel kind of good watching him on TV looking like he'd spent a few rounds with Ali or got a little too involved with the local spirits and ended...

    Olympics

    I agree with others who don't like certain commentators. I also get tired of soap-box rants. Nonetheless I do have the ability to tune those people out and concentrate on the athletes and the games. I often wondered how some commentators became such experts considering I'm pretty sure most of...

    Olympics

    I like several sports, several of which rarely get televised. TV is sometimes terrible coverage. Remember one year the entire Marathon was covered. One of the most non-competitive races possible until the last few miles. Might have been interesting to watch the beginning couple of minutes, a few...

    Youth Shooting

    Congratulations to all of those who get involved in working with youth in any form of outdoor activities. When i was growing up most of us had family that we could learn from. Not necessarily the case any more and that's too bad for some of our youth. Have worked at the State Fair a few times in...

    Disgusting

    I don't think anything pisses me off more than crime clearly geared towards injuring someone or wrecking something with absolutely no possible benefit to the criminal. If someone steals my gas I'm frustrated but can see the benefit to them. If someone slashes my tires it pisses me off and the...

    Drone Footage of Northern Pike Strike

    Never thought much about having a drone until recently. Have seen some really neat footage from people who are accomplished in flying them. At first thought they were just a toy, not so much anymore. Some really neat videos are possible.

    Wind Turbine Ordinance Bismarck

    Exactly. City ordinances in most cases aren't designed to make a residents life miserable. They are designed to keep everything orderly. Imagine living next door to a wind turbine with 120 foot blades. It's not common but blades have fallen off. Might put a dent in your house. You will also have...

    Swearing

    For me there's swearing, and then theres' filthy language. Hard to define but know it when I see it. Same as porn. I guess if I wouldn't say it around my grandkids then I shouldn't say it anywhere else where people I don't know or might be offended by it may hear or read it. Don't want to have...

    Trail Cam Pictures

    Does that buck on the bottom left have the mass I'm seeing or am I looking at something different. Can't see much for points in that picture but he looks massive in circumference unless there's an optical illusion. Nice pictures.

    Slab, Crawl-Space, or Basement

    Lot's of good points. If it were me and I wanted a basement I would have full 8' ceilings and floor heat. If there is an area that is not going to be finished install everything that you might need later and will be a pain in the butt to install later. Plumbing and wiring are 2 that immediately...

    Storm Damage from 6/21/16?

    After checking Ericb's info from what I found he is correct. Matching is not necessarily covered for all houses. However the insurance people I visited with lean very heavily to at least covering a whole side to match but not necessarily the whole house. I guess it would depend on how much has...

    Storm Damage from 6/21/16?

    Vinyl siding is the most common type of siding to have hail damage. That isn't necessarily a bad thing as it's pretty obvious that it is damaged. There are visible holes, kind of hard to miss. The same is true for shingles. May look ok from ground, go up and you will see the damage. Most...

    4th Amendment is Gone

    I'm not sure whether I agree with this court opinion or not. First I haven't fully understood where the illegal stop occurred. A car leaving a residence of reported narcotic activity doesn't exactly fit my definition or an illegal stop. Some judge might consider it illegal but hard for me to...

    Savage or Tikka?

    USMCDI - Can't argue with the hydrostatic shock value. That shock, according to the laws of physics, works both ways. My point was if the gun isn't any fun to shoot, your accuracy will suffer. If you don't mind recoil then shoot the biggest you want. Once had a friend tell me when I asked why he...

    Savage or Tikka?

    There is no winning the caliber debate. Always a personal choice. One thing that never changes for caliber is the question "What if I need to buy ammo at the local sports shop. Is it likely to be available?" If you reload I would guess you could just about always develop an accurate load. So...

    Roofing contractors

    I'm a little confused about a Grade of B+ for a roofer who leaves garbage in the yard and nails as well. I would think a roofer would own a large magnet to pick up nails as they can be dangerous. Roofing nails stand up easily because of the larger head. Easily go through shoes when stepped no so...

    Frying Oil ???

    In my experience peanut oil is good in that it has a higher smoke or burn temperature but if you are careful to not get the temperature to high and use a thermometer I find that canola oil works just as good. Canola oil also has no taste and is less likely to induce an allergic reaction that...

    Anyone Install a lift station themselves?

    You are correct in the the principal of a pump pit for drain tile is similar to a sewage lift station. The ones I've seen were installed by plumbers but it's a sewer line to the pit like any other sewer line. Then the lift station pumps it up (lifts) to the main sewer line and from there it...
