    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    Thanks guys. I appreciate all the ideas, thoughts, and well wishes. Much of what I will be able to do will depend on the land manager and what he will allow on the wma. If he gives me a vehicle permit to use the truck all summer, then that's what I'll do and I have most of that covered...

    Got all those pieces except the barrels. I'll be sniffing around for them if I can't set down on a good ATV tank to buy. Thanks!!!

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    Got a Grizzly 700. I was thinking 35 gallons tops for a tank so those barrels would work if I could ratchet them down enough to holdem through the bounces and bumps. That's pushin' 300 lbs of water plus my fat azz. Pretty sure I don't want to overdo the machine too much. Thanks for the idea...

    Sure is. Glad you're going to give it a go. Spool with 60-85 lb PP and you will be in the money. If you use that lime green garbage you get at scenic sports I'm going to point at you and giggle. If you're wandering around the confluence, drop us a line and stop by for a beverage. PM me if...

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    Thanks PG for the help and if I have to have a name, I guess Public Land Volunteers is just as good as anything for a description. However, right now I don't plan on having a full blown 501c3 org. Mostly because it's just me and the guy who is letting me use his water tank. If, over time...

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    This is GREAT!!! Had an awesome conservation minded individual offer a 350 gallon truck bed water tank that I can use for my project for at least this year!! I'm pretty sure it will fit the bill just fine. Thank You for your kindness and generosity!!! I really appreciate it. I have a 1/4...

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    Maybe I'm off base here, but I was thinking that getting to the block might be problematic sometimes which is why I was thinking ATV. Regardless, it will probably be up to the Land Manager as to what vehicle he would want going to and thru the block. He's never dealt with this either so I...

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    Hopefully not. If we get enough rain on the new planting every year (with info from the land manager) then any left over funds can be used to purchase protective supplies. That way regardless of what the need is, the average guy can have a direct and positive hand in improving the habitat THEY...

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    I knew this would be fun. OK here goes.... Looked at the caged water tanks, but there's an issue with weight unless it's in the truck bed. I don't want to run trucks out into the wma as that will leave a rut trail and I don't want to make a permanent trail. An atv would work better I think...

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    I finally got mad enough to put my money where my mouth is just like Vollmer did with this AWESOME web site. With all the garbage flying around about who takes money from who, who voted for who, and blah blah blah, I took it upon myself to find out where and how an average schmuck like me can...

    Cosby - Guilty

    Kind of a tacky statement, but you could substitute "Alcohol" for "these desires" and end up with the same outcome.

    Fargo area - youth conservation projects/programs?

    I don't know if you have time for this, but for about a dollar apiece you can buy conservation sized trees and go plant'em on some public land somewhere. Watering, weeding, and just plain trying to keep them alive is an all summer gig. Not to mention protecting them from deer, gophers, mice...

    Treble Hooks

    The shipping costs if ordering smaller quantities, say a hundred or less, online might make that route more expensive so watch for that. Any of the DIY tackle companies will have what you need. I really like Owner hooks myself, but they are actually too strong for what I do. I loose too many...

    Trail Cams Are Addicting

    I usually wave to make it known to the owner their camera was found. It just shows the owner, their camera is vulnerable to theft and might need more camo or a new location. If I see guys on my camera that are just walking by, I know they are trespassing and the camera is fairly well hidden.

    Compost vs. Screen Black Dirt for Garden

    Match your soils to the veggies you want. If you want asparagus or other perennial stuff, find out what soils they like best and how to maintain that. Same for other veggies. If you are making the planters out of treated wood, keep in mind that part of the treatment is to prevent plant...

    Trail Cams Are Addicting

    I don't put out cams until a week or so before bow season (3 cameras). I don't want the deer to adjust their daily patterns due to my intrusions into the area. Once I put the cameras up, I don't check them but once every 7 days or so. The idea is to keep the noise, scent, and general...

    Pizza Corner pizzas

    Pizza in Iquitos Peru was done inside stone ovens with wood for heat. It was FANTASTIC. Garden ripened veggies, fresh meats, and local cheeses. WOW was that some good pizza pie. Thanks for the memories. DM
