    270 vs. 30-06

    I have never shot a caliber I didn't like. Some more or less than others, but I like them all.

    Neg Rep - Who would like it gone?

    I think it's good, but often one misjudges people. I think it would be good to be able to go in and delete a negative post that you may have given someone. I make mistakes and would like a way to correct them.

    Another Grizz~

    I think we were perhaps watching the same bear that mauled the lady in Tom Miner Basin. I think it was on the same cow and still eating. They don't destroy a bear that attacks while on a kill. There was about seven or eight cars watching the bear. We stopped and talked to a guy because at...

    Game & Fish Numbers

    You guys have as many pheasants in one county as we do our state. Years ago as I would drive from Aberdeen to Jamestown I could never understand why the South Dakota farmers appeared to have better habitat and took better care of their land than the guys right across the border. I still don't...

    Game & Fish Numbers

    Ya, kind of looks like a token release, but I think they release more around this area. I think it's mostly voluntary so your not going to get birds in the thousands.

    Game & Fish Numbers

    Your probably right about large scale Dean. Where I go shooting west of my house I have to drive slow because of all the dumb young released pheasants on the road. It takes them at least a week to learn to stay off the road. I think they release about 500 every year over about four sections...

    Game & Fish Numbers

    Kurt I loaded W760 with 100 gr Partition for my kids 30 years ago. I was getting a little over 3000fps. I see the load manuals have backed off from that. I suppose the powders have changed over the years. Hybrid 100V looks like a super powder for the 100 gr pills now. Over 3100 with the...

    Whose has the better tasting walleye

    I didn't read many of the posts, but have noticed a taste difference. People also often ask why the short fish are fat and the longer fish not so much. I think it's the Gammarus lacustrus they feed on that gives Devils Lake fish a poor taste. I notice the fish on the Jamestown reservoir taste...

    When is the last time you saw a monarch?

    I have maybe a dozen larvae in my jig on the swamp milkweed now. Less than ten percent of normal.

    Game & Fish Numbers

    Kurtr I had a fellow that drove every day from Aberdeen to work with me. He had worked with pheasants, and for a short time with Pheasants Forever. Maybe the Game and Fish isn't releasing pheasants, but other groups sure release a lot of them. Yes, and Canvasbacks are the only game bird I am...

    Game & Fish Numbers

    They are getting political pressure to keep the numbers down. Some people didn't like those high numbers we had in the past. - - - Updated - - - I think without help the natural range would be established about 100 to 200 miles south of you Kurtr.

    Game & Fish Numbers

    I agree with everyone so far, but would add one thing for the antelope. To maintain a population that can maintain itself numbers can only go so low. This may cause a disproportionate number of tags as related to drop in population. For example if you have a species that requires about 5000...

    Miss America

    Isn't that the truth. I blame the TV people for turning it political. I guess I don't worry to much because a guy watching Miss America already has a man bun, silk panties, and votes liberal to begin with. ;:;popcorn

    Prairie legacy wilderness

    Think about it with an open mind Fritz. If you owned a business in Gardner, Montana and tourism was 90% of your income would a wolf or a cow be more important to you. An elk is more important to me so I'll side with the rancher. However locals are pushing for a reduced or even ending the...

    Prairie legacy wilderness

    I don't want to mess up this thread so I'll post up some picks on a new thread when I get back. I am not expecting to actually get a wolf, but I'll try. I like the turn this poll is taking.

    Prairie legacy wilderness

    I will be headed to some of that Montana high country (9800ft) in a few days to shoot a wolf. We will be a mile or two from Wilderness, but hope that's close enough. I will have to tell locals I'm hunting something else. They don't want their wolves shot. I have to side with ranchers because...

    Tell him your a collector looking for specific cranks that you will pay premium price for. If you figure out it's him offer him five to six times the actual value if he meets you in ??????? Make it at least 500 miles.

    Caliper vs Hook Style Release

    Got back on my phone and the text popped up as if I forgot to post. I hit post and then noticed it did post the first time. This never happens on the computer, but these darn phones makes a guy look stupid sometimes

    Caliper vs Hook Style Release

    In another ten years they will go back to caliper and tell us why it's better. Marketing. When they came out with calipers they explained why it eliminated tork. Shoot what feels best to you. They all release so easily the tork is insignificant, but it sells.

    Yellow jackets~

    I have done that on winter when it's cold. I can see why you could get away with it any time of year because of the total devastation. Every few years I tear one down in winter and save it. A pinch of wasp nest between powder and ball, or powder and any greased muzzle loader projectile will...
