    New to the ice

    The English Coulee Diversion down by Thompson is a good place to go get started. Should be lots of perch and pike in there. 20 years ago there were also plentiful LM bass, but I don't know how they are doing nowadays.

    Grain Bin accident

    For all the hundreds of times I've been in a grain bin, I can only remember once where I felt unsafe. The guy on the outside of the bin started up the auger while I was inside. It was amazingly quick at how fast things changed when the grain (durum) started moving out from under the feet. I...

    Reading that shit makes my head hurt.

    Hunting accident

    New Town is not the same as Towner. They are almost 120 miles apart.

    Any rock hounds ?

    Fool's gold (iron pyrite) is every bit as shiny, but it has right angles in its crystal structure that are easily viewed with the naked eye on large pieces, and with a hand held magnifying glass on small pieces. Real gold won't have those right angles. Pertified teredo bored wood is North...

    Any rock hounds ?

    This may not quite be true, but if you go looking for riches up there you most certainly will be disappointed.

    Minimum Wages

    Guy would probably know better on the current state of measurement of CO2 in the atmosphere, but I'd hazard a guess direct measurement of CO2 in the atmosphere doesn't go back 100 years. Instead what scientists have done is used trapped gasses and radioisotopes in the big ice sheets of...

    Toss "precession" into your next search for climate change. That also provides a lot of interesting stuff to read.

    Newer Chevy center console

    In my F250 I mounted a closet rod holder on the floor to place the barrel. Works really well.

    Worth a lookey

    Wanna bet on that one? A fair number of our law enforcement are hired from out of state and bring an "it's the law" mentality. FYI, I used to say similar shit about not needing a concealed carry permit for my hunting trips where the shotgun/rifle were buried in a pile of clothes in the back...

    Hunting out someone else's blind ?

    This is awfully reminiscent of Chai Soo Vang (sp?).

    Hunting accident

    Shit. He was the first I thought of when McHenry county was mentioned. I never personally met the guy but we chatted numerous times through the old Fishing Buddy site. My sincerest condolences to all who knew him.

    Any rock hounds ?

    Yep, mid 70s Chevy with a 454 in it, but it was pine green. You missed out if he didn't take and show you his gun collection, easily one of the largest in the state at that point. Including about 1/3 of those in the old New Town movie theater that he loaned for display. I am guessing he had a...

    I am going to continue on with the "no news is good news" mentality on this one.

    Minimum Wages

    No opinion on the article, but I've always held that if you are 20-something and working for the minimum wage, you have made some serious career errors.

    Any rock hounds ?

    I am going to hazard a guess that old feller was my step-grandfather. Name was Ed Hansen and he owned a bunch of land up in that area around then. I was probably 10, or so, when he first showed me what he called dinosaur eggs that protruded out of the ground just a few miles north of town...

    Devils Evening Bite

    Yep, I'd suggest getting in next to some trees, off a point. Find somewhere you can string a series of holes (8-10 per angler), in some pattern in 6-17 ft of water. Set up some deadsticks scattered between the depths, and run between the holes with a jigging rod using a jig/minnow head combo...

    Down Goes DAPL

    The State can start with itself. It is (unless something has changed) been against the rules to possess/own firearms within married student housing. One was supposed to keep their guns at UND's cop shop and only pick them up when you needed them to go hunting, etc.
