Land ownership has it's pitfalls and frustrations doesn't it?? You pay for the fantasy of having your own "Honey Hole" to groom and tailor to your preference. You can see your kids, smiles aplenty as you take pics of their successful hunts. You walk the edges and picture what it will be...
Let's see......Kentucky Windage.......Yep........KINGSFORD for him!!!!
ItemB, I don't like telling folks that jeans and long johns work. I'd rather show folks that jeans and long johns work just fine. (Grin)
I just returned from a MAGNIFICENTLY SPECTACULAR hunting trip to Montana with Kickemup and I hope he composes his own thread on his experiences as I don't want to steal his thunder relating my own story. We spent 7 days in the beautiful Montana mountains and another 5 days in the more prairie...
Started at 19 in the ND Air National Guard from 90-02, went AD Navy 02-10, AF Reserve 10-17. I joined to blow things up, get away from a girl, and do a bit of travel. Signed for 6 and stayed for 20 more. Played both enlisted and officer sides of the fence and I would absolutely do it again...
Buncha trigger happy hoodlums!! If we could JUST LET some of these fawns get some age on'em, THEN we would have some REAL trophy deer. Instead, what do we get in ND?? Everyone shoots the first average deer that comes by and thinks they're "The Man". Shoot a REAL deer for a change fellas...
Thank You 2400 for your service and for keeping the veterans and current warfighters in the forefront. Your statements are iron clad truth and I share them in abundance. I appreciate what today represents and wish to Thank those who take time to consider the sacrifices of the servicemen and...
I don't like pushing the block under the ice. It reduces my visibility when the fish come in and I can't lift a whole block of ice out of a hole so I bust it up into basketball sized chunks that I can get out with my scoop shovel. When I'm done I just knock the chunks back into the hole. An 8...
I drill holes close together and then bust the ice between the holes out with an ice spud. A saw would work better when the ice gets thick, but I managed to cut several holes in 2+ ft of ice without one. It just takes a little longer. Have Fun, but I must warn you!! Spearing has been known...
Screw you cock'a'roach!!! How dare you blemish our time honored traditions of bashing each other on the eve of murder and mayhem where each of us can, and does, complain, point fingers, argue, criticize, and try to utterly destroy anyone who hunts deer different than we do while simultaneously...
I'm the VERY LAST person to ask when it comes to why the ND game and fish does what they do!!! I haven't the foggiest idea why the Friday noon opener exists. Though it was a great excuse to get out of school for the day. (Grin)
If it was me, I'd block the view of the plot with tree tops and other brush. Shouldn't take more than a few hours to drag enough brush to do the job. Then I'd put a blind right in front of theirs facing them with a camera inside. When you get a hit on the camera and see someone hunting, go...
