Took up "Gator Giggin'" this past winter and discovered how much like bow hunting it is and had a blast doing it. So much so, that I bought a spear and built a spearing house. I have scoured the Youtube Encyclopedia and have a couple questions for the spear guys. First, is it better to use...
I called MT Game and they apparently rewrote their internal programming and to quote her "It's been working a little funky." Nodakbowhunter is correct, the system did an automatic redraw and I was lucky enough to get a combo tag turned in by an unsuccessful special permit draw person that...
With the past snowy winter and the inability of many of us snare guys to get out, the coyote populations will need a bit more thinning this year. So, I thought I would bump this OUTSTANDING thread to the top to help anyone wanting to help do the thinning........ All Hail JMF!!!
Yep!! That boat has been beat like a rented "Red Headed" mule. 3 years and it looks like THAT!?!?! My 1997 has a couple dock scratches, but NOTHING like those pics. Brunswick doesn't have the best customer service reputation, but even I can't blame the dealer or Lund for their stance on this...
For fishing mostly current areas, I plan on getting a Jackson Coosa HD. I was going to get one this spring, but I bought a ATV and blew the toy fund all to pieces. Most of the rivers in ND are too shallow and snaggy for a hobie and those fins that stick down and weeds really don't go well with...
We've used a version of the bimini and they work, but the wind really messes with boat control and puts a whole lot of pressure on the attachment points as well as the top itself. It also restricts the area a guy can efficiently fish out of as rod holders, hook sets, playing fish, and netting...
Activated for the Fargo Flood Fight and spent 90 days walking dikes, guarding pumps, drove our humvee to pick up anybody that needed medical attention or had appointments, directed traffic, sand bagged, yadda, yadda, yadda. Closest thing to combat without the bullets I was ever involved in. We...
Yep, I suspect a crack as well. No other explanation that makes any sense. Also, a drain field lined with pea rock and covered with about 18 inches of dirt works pretty well in our clay soils around here. We have 3 fingers about 150 ft long that works for our house. Something to think about...
Kind of up to each individual. Is it worth the effort to spend 2 hours looking for a downed bird? Is it worth the effort to fish in the rain? All good questions, but each is answerable in a different way for each person with many many variables. The legs on my birds get used in stock if they...
The turkey legs and the chicken legs were good enough to put on the table. The goose legs went into stock with the turkry, goose. and chicken carcasses once we were done picking the meat off them for sandwiches. Very little goes to waste around here.
Yeah, those work great IF you can get the DAMN COW into the barn!!!!! My uncles barn would hold about 10-12 cows at a time. He had 90 head to calf. Couldn't keep all of them even around the barn. To much mud and wet. Scours are a BITCH!!! Ah memories!!!
I've got a commercial cylinder plucker and it won't touch waterfowl. I've tried it several ways from dry to wet to scalded wet and mine won't pull hardly any feathers from a duck or goose. It might be the fingers, but the ones I have will pluck a chicken in about 30 seconds. I might need...
Best if you can pluck them warm. If you can't, take your time as getting in a rush will result in torn skin. Get the main feathers off and then submerge the bird in melted wax. DON"T gut the bird first. Doing so will make it much more difficult to get the small feathers off the back end of...
Had a goose, a chicken, and some turkeys in the freezer that I've been promising to run through the smoker for a couple months now and finally got to'em. Soaked them in kosher salt, apple cider, brown sugar, onions, garlic, and black pepper for 12 hours in the fridge and added a heavy smoke for...
