    .45 ACP vs .357 Rem Mag

    I don't want to be the pisser offer of anyone holding a pistol in either caliber. - - - Updated - - - Or a .22 Long Rifle either. Crap, probably not even a .22 Short. Shit, who am I kidding? If you have a 1300 fps modern air rifle (do they make a pistol with that velocity?) I am still...

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    You are missing the obvious here. Given all other inputs holding relatively constant, and with a river I would have thought it would be simple enough to use as an example, the human effects on the river flow are pretty amazing. Around 2,500 years ago we were coming out of the Hypsithermal...

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    Just to be clear, the water in the water table comes from rain and snow. Also, the Red River of the North is roughly 12,000 - 14,000 years old. So I shall refrain from commenting on what the streamflow was there, or in the James River basin a million years ago. One certainly doesn't need to...

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    What, in your opinion, would be another possible cause to look at in the overall increase in runoff during the past 100 years? And don't say more rain either because we have those records and there is not a correlated increase in precip.

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    Reread my post, I don't mention climate change as a cause in the James River basin discussion. My point was simply that we humans clearly have the ability to change things on a pretty good-sized scale. And yes, there is pretty good statistical support that the region has about a 22-25 yr cycle...

    Wouldn't that suggest there are plenty of bigger fish in the lake? I mean, if the average joe is cleaning a limit of 4-10 lb fish, they should be easy to find, right? In reality, walleyes in particular tend to hang out with fish of similar size. I don't know exactly why that is often the...

    Corner jumping court case.

    It will be interesting to see how the courts handle this. ‘Airspace’ trespass suit advances against corner-crossing hunters A federal judge refused last week to dismiss a civil suit against four corner-crossing hunters, ruling that Elk Mountain Ranch owner Fred Eshelman has a “plausible...

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    I totally concur with you in that the Earth's climate has been evolving/changing ever since the formation of the planet. However, there are numerous examples of where people have indeed impacted things to where we can observe, or at least surmise, changes over time that are human influenced...

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    sl, It's not the floating ice that can be a problem. It's the ice on Greenland and Antarctica. Those are an island and a continent, respectively. As their ice melts, it will most certainly affect sea levels across the planet.

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    I got the text from NDGF earlier today that listed 1,970 tags available this year in 17 units.

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    Well, I'm 56 (not 80) and there were no youth tags at all when I was a kid, you waited until you were 14 and went in the general lottery. The tags for 14 yr old kids were the first to come around, but the lowering of the age requirement to 11 is not 30 yrs, because I am pretty sure it wasn't an...

    Merc 150 4stk 2012ish help

    First of all, two good batteries being used in a 12 volt setup should run that engine for a few hours. Going out on a bit of a limb here, but I'd be checking not only the charging system on the boat since something sure seems to be fried, but I would also check out the onboard charger. It...

    Hybrid Poplars from Hell

    I get it, they grow like a damn weed. I have some that grow 6 ft per year. In that sense you can buy a treeless piece of land and have some shade in just a few years, but every time the wind blows you get limbs galore everywhere! Only thing worse IMHO are willows, and guess what the majority...

    2022 Governors Cup

    OK, so not being a tourney angler, I have a question. Why when you look under the Fish category does one see some teams with 4/4 and some with 5/5? Does ol' Clayton get penalized for past wins?

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    SuppressYourself, I think the reason it's restricted to the youth only season for those under 14 is because they (ND Legislature) didn't want really young hunters (11-13) out doing deer drives, etc as just a member of the hunting party. Rather it was intended to be all about the kid, so...

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    Well, not that many years ago there were no youth tags, you had to be 14 and apply in the regular deer gun lottery just like everyone else. It was a concession made for people who were willing to put their kids' hunt ahead of their own interests, there is ALWAYS something going on somewhere...

    Piping Mississippi River water west

    Unlike open cropland, green houses have an initial investment in construction and then long-term maintenance costs that exceed that of ordinary cropland. This will always make greenhouses a losing investment because the ordinary shopper cares way more about price of the commodity than they do...

    Piping Mississippi River water west

    I don't know if they are still operational, but there used to be some operations in ND that used greenhouses for growing tomatoes and other veggies. Agriculture is indeed a huge water demand down in our southwest, but it's also a tremendously important part of our food supply. I've been down...
