    SD Nonresident Fishing License ...WOW$$

    Yeah, that whole charging of out of staters more on camping has been around for many years in other states. Back in 2002 the dump known as Wisconsin had an out-of-state surcharge for North Dakotan's camping in their state parks. When I saw that I was literally dumbstruck that any state would...

    Timber wolf found~

    You laugh, but there are people who actually do use GSPs as bait for wolves and coyotes. The dogs are simply trained(?) to seek you out at full throttle once the wild canine gives chase. So you just have to sit and wait for them. Never done it, because my dog would just get his ass kicked...

    real or staged?

    Instant karma. I will refrain from trying to critique her as the guy did in the video Achucker posted, simply because shit happens too quick to judge much other than the outcome. We aren't all cyborgs. But at the same time, she got a little lucky in that he didn't seem mentally prepared to...

    Who's Ever Doing The Rain Dance.....

    I've been saying it for a while now, but if we don't get some dry weather, we are going to see a lot more than normal Prevent Plant acres this year due to excess moisture. What a difference a wet April makes...

    SD Nonresident Fishing License ...WOW$$

    Yeah, I don't know if I like the window stamp idea, much like the State Park pass. They only give you one pass, but I have two vehicles capable of towing the boat. I have to imagine quite a few others also have multiple vehicles capable of towing. Years ago, there was a deposit box at the New...

    Big Muddy

    Note, that 26" fish I caught yesterday still had her eggs. While I didn't cut her open to verify it, she was fairly plump. Granted, in any given year there is a certain percentage of the fish that end up absorbing their eggs for whatever reason.

    If you get out to the coasts, pay for use ramps exist, everywhere. And the parking sucks!

    Big Muddy

    I went out today, for only the second time this year. I caught 4 wallyes less than 13 inches, one walleye at 26 inches, a nice white bass, and a 20 inch pike. Just one of those days, couldn't catch a fish I wanted to keep if my life would have depended on it. - - - Updated - - - That was...

    SD Nonresident Fishing License ...WOW$$

    In today's day and age of information availability, I've always thought ND should implement a reciprocity-based NR fishing and hunting license fee structure. Well, mostly for fishing anyway. If it costs $100 for a MN fishing license for a ND resident, it should cost $100 for a MN resident to...

    Duck Lure for Pike

    Having seen pike take baby ducks a couple times over the years, the use of these non-baitfish type lures is certainly an interesting concept. I do know an absolutely AVID pike/musky guy who tosses rat/mouse based lures on a regular basis. And yep, he's successful!

    Outlawing green pastures

    I'm not sure if it's illegal in Havasu, Arizona...but if you wanted to have a lawn there you will have a tough time finding a lawn mower. Pretty much everyone uses gravel in their yards and if they want a green space they use artificial turf. It's a pretty foreign looking place to most of the...

    Hydrofoils

    I have put a hydrofoil on every boat I've ever owned, and have seen all kinds of improvement. Especially with faster on plane times and lower speed handling. The boats I've used them on include: 1. Mid-70s, 16.5 ft Alumacraft with a 25 tiller motor. 2. A late 80s Smokercraft with a 75 horse...

    Boat Insurance

    I am learning that there's some "interpretation" under some insurance companies' definition of "actual replacement with like materials" policies.

    Bad accident at NWT.

    That kind of crap happens nowadays on the Missouri River during spring fishing. Just glad nobody was killed!

    Used ATV's

    I have the 2014 Honda Pioneer 700. I've only put about 1500 miles on it, it has a locked front and rear differential so it really tears up the sod. I believe the latter year Pioneers have unlocked differentials and I would go that route for sure nowadays. Also, while my Pioneer gets around...

    Is our food source in jeopardy?

    Well, let's get mathematic on this. The world surely can't support 149,999,999,999,999,999,999 people. That's just ridiculous. So there is absolutely a point where we will hit the ceiling on how many people this planet can withstand. I think the better question is what population can we...

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Flood forecasts for river locations are generally done 1-4 times per day, depending on the complexity of the location. The forecast itself is in 6 hr increments while the river stage data is usually in 15 minute intervals.
