    Canadian Smoke

    It was god awful in Bismarck today. Visibility fell to around a half mile. SOB!

    Canadian Smoke

    Yes, it will be bad at Capital City Sporting Clays. Unless it breaks between now and then, but it's pretty crappy statewide.

    Canadian Smoke

    Yeah, I can feel it after being outside in it all day. I was in Minot yesterday and could just smell it at times. I couldn't even imagine being a firefighter and hanging out next to some of those big fires.

    NDSU to the FBS???

    I wonder how much extra in tuition and fees this would cost?

    But wait... there's more.

    I don't think I have ever given much thought to it before, but at $19.95...that was quite the Christmas present I received back in the day.

    I am not sure if I am more amazed at the ignorance of how our state works, or if I am disappointed. It really is at a minimum enlightening. - - - Updated - - - Note, I work for neither the State or the contractor.

    Kind of funny how we all rail against the NDGF on this. Given we are a Republican dominated state government, anyone ever give the slightest thought that this may be a contractor error? As in, I am reasonably sure the NDGF doesn't have the printing presses or envelope stuffing machines...

    Bait casting setups

    Baitcasters don't twist the line and there's a lot less line memory on them than a spinning reel. That being said, I much prefer spinning reels also. Pretty sure I can't cast my baitcaster worth a crap with 1/4 oz jigs. I need more heft to introduce some forgiveness to my poor form. p.s...

    Boat Value

    LOL, I can't even fathom fishing with more than three people total in my 17.5 ft Fisherman anymore. It's just too crowded, especially when the dog is also along. My pontoon has quickly become my non-river fishing rig.

    full body decoys

    If anyone is interested in a complete goose hunting setup, I know someone who has a trailer filled with decoys and layout blinds. All of which are for sale. I never counted them, but I'd guess there are 3-5 dozen decoys, 3-4 blinds, enclosed trailer, probably some of the mechanical decoys...

    Boat Value

    I know a guy who got 9k for about the same generation Crestliner, with similar features. Makes me think yours should be right around $11k. Yours is certainly a better hull, ride, and with a much newer kicker. You also have a better trolling motor than he had on his. Let's put it this way, I'd...

    When its a 100 outside

    Right, back in late May as we entered the growing season there were dust clouds for miles along highway 83 from Minot to the Garrison turn. It didn't look good as farmers put seed into dust with little expectation that it would even germinate. Fast forward to now and while germination was a...

    When its a 100 outside

    We have officially hit 100 now for five days in a row here in Bismarck. Little bit of a cold front moving through later today that should keep tomorrow in the 90s, so we are most likely going to fall short of tying the record of 6 days in a row of 100 degree days in Bismarck. That was in 1936...

    Leader Material

    In the past, Alkaline was a northern hotspot for me when I was chasing walleyes. Especially when using cranks I would catch 5-10 pike for every keepable walleye. It cost me quite a few cranks until I started using a titanium wire leader. It was called Knot Too Kinky and was available from...

    Black Rifle Coffee Co. hates YOU!!!

    It would be nice to go back to the day of supporting a business because of the product they put out, rather than the politics of the CEO, employees, etc. Everyone is always trying to "cancel" someone, I suppose I'll get canceled too for this post. Note, I don't drink coffee anyway.

    NDGF: Steinwand Retiring

    Let's face it, if Terry did his job (and yes, I have always liked the guy), there should be a pool of well qualified applicants in the dept. Succession planning is an important part of being a leader.

    Democrat Bill Blocks Outsiders From House Leadership

    I guess I don't see why/how this is an attempt to change the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't address the topic, many other things are not in the Constitution either and they end up getting covered by legislation from the House and Senate without us being worried about it being an attempt...

    NDGF: Steinwand Retiring

    I wonder if GST will apply.

    Fun With Marijuana

    I suppose now would be a good time to let people know that the actual videos above don't have anything to do with marijuana. More along the lines of how poor decision making skills can get you nominated for a Darwin Award.

    Freak accident. (Understatement)

    Here's the Newsweek article on it as well. Note, I don't think the author has ever fished a day in his life. I see the images didn't come through, but in the link (Man Impales Own Heart in 'Freak' Fishing Accident (msn.com)), they are using a picture of a man holding a fly fishing rod. I'm...
