    Boat fails/shit happens 2020

    Maybe, we are supposed to be going into a La Nina weather pattern for late fall and winter. If that's the case, a good indian summer is not unusual for late Oct and Nov. Just the same, since I live close to the Missouri, I can always take advantage of "nice" days in Nov and Dec. I've fished...

    Boat fails/shit happens 2020

    Outside of losing a drift sock at Beaver Creek Bay on Sak, I've had a relatively uneventful fishing year thus far. With respect to mishaps, anyway. As far as I can tell though, I still have some 3+ months of open water fishing to make it through.

    Nature's Reflections Taxidermy

    All he has is my cape and a few bucks, so it wouldn't have been the end of the world. I was just more worried something happened to him that I hadn't heard about. Super nice guy to sit and shoot the breeze with... - - - Updated - - - Nah, if push comes to shove on supplies, I still have...

    Nature's Reflections Taxidermy

    OK, just got off the phone with him and everything's OK, he is just in the process of moving to a new place. Great guy to BS with, and while we all already know much of the impacts of the stupid pandemic, it was eye opening to hear yet another on how the dominoes fall. Hides for taxidermy are...

    Nature's Reflections Taxidermy

    No, this is not a complaints thread, but I tried to stop into Nature's Reflection's Taxidermy east of Bismarck earlier today to drop off my deer antlers from last fall. I figured he should surely have the cape and form in by now. Well, it appears to be closed and up for sale. Anyone know...

    For you weather geeks: China

    Oh, having been to Hoover, I don't think I'd call it mediocre. It just didn't make the list of the top 20 in WIkipedia, for whatever reason. Probably because the narrowness of the canyon at the dam site, it just isn't that much concrete. About 2.9 million yards. When compared to the amount...

    For you weather geeks: China

    There are many ways to compare dams. How tall, how much fill was required, how much water does it hold back, etc. You can compare the world's biggest dams here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_dams

    More of ND's public land at stake

    Super disappointing.... :( - - - Updated - - - This, right here, is what pisses me off about the Republican party in ND. They support this shit.

    For you weather geeks: China

    75,000 cubic meters per second is equivalent to over 2.6 million cubic ft per second. To put that into a little perspective, the Missouri River in Bismarck is at 26,400 cfs today, flood stage at Bismarck equals right around 72,000 cfs, and the flood of 2011 saw a max of right around 155,000 cfs.

    2020 Sheep In The Books

    Now THAT'S my kind of hunting. A challenging critter, miserable conditions, and success = life-long memories.. Super damn jealous. Note, all my best hunting stories involve all the above criteria as well. It sucks getting old and lazy.

    Something every single American should watch!

    I am with Davey. I find it very unfortunate that Trump (who I side with on the vast majority of issues) is a dyed in the wool, asshole. Seriously, is it so fugging hard to not try to piss everyone off? His turning on people that were in his own administration at one point is nothing short of...

    New Vexilar

    For fuck's fucking sake! $789 plus tax? My 20-some year old FL-8 is looking like a great investment as it still sees fish!

    Our Neighbors to the East

    lunker, I don't think that video will help the officers physically holding Floyd down, it may help the one that was wearing this camera because it puts him in a position of crowd control, not George Floyd control. I believe Derek Chauvin is going to spend some time in prison. There were a...

    Nicholas Winton

    I had seen that years ago. We should all be so lucky as to have such a positive influence on so many lives. And he did it all at great peril to his own safety. That, is a great man of principle.

    Grinding

    The colder, the better. Mine still has a LOT of firmness to it as I chunk it up for the grinder.

    Its offical cormerant~

    Yeah, that's part of the problem. With federal protection their numbers have increased significantly.

    Its offical cormerant~

    No problem, I do know they had permission in MN a couple years ago to use govt personnel to shoot some cormorants, maybe up on Leech Lake, not sure. I just don't think there's been any progress in getting to the point where ND/MN outdoorsmen will be allowed to kill them without fear of some...

    Its offical cormerant~

    Uhh, Nipissing is in Ontario. As is this article. Do you have some other article that talks about being able to shoot cormorants in the U.S. that is a bit more relevant to ND/MN cormorant populations?
