    Little Minneapolis Drivers

    I installed a dashcam this past winter, I consider the $49 spent on it as exceptionally cheap insurance for bad drivers, etc.

    Notre Dame “accidental” inferno?

    Having been to a few countries in Europe, including France, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised that there was no fire suppression system ever installed. It would wreck the historic value of it in some people's view of it all. I've never even seen anything remotely equivalent to our...

    New State record

    Yep, the fishing wasn't "great" on the river by Fox Island yesterday. I ended up catching a mere three fish, two of which were significantly injured by what looked like a pike attack. So I ended the day as follows: About 15 bites (they were some tail grabbing SOBs), lost 4 after 2-10 seconds...

    Winter kill

    Bacon, Despite me tending to agree with you that farmers are cost conscious, the simple fact is that fertilizer is well over applied even in the rural areas since no farmer wants to think his crop has not reached its full potential because it was nutrient limited. Hence the tendency for it to...

    Snake creek pumping station

    I'd suggest either calling Audubon NWR, or the Bureau of Reclamation offices. They would know the schedule for transferring water.

    Sb 2315 - final house vote delayed!!

    Having never hunted in Texas, I saw an article recently that claimed they did away with posted signs by going to the color purple. Basically, paint portions of your fence in purple (or trees) and that is recognized as a permanent (to the current landowner) no hunting or trespassing sign. Can...

    Winter kill

    While this is true, there's a pretty large disparity in the number of acres of each contributing to the problem. There are many, many wetlands in the countryside that look like a putting green in the summer and there isn't a house in the watershed. Personally, I refuse to fertilize a lawn...

    Keeping big pike

    Not a fan of slots without a biological reasoning, and as has been noted the big lake has always had a great pike fishery. I say enjoy the good times we are currently in as low water years will again be with us some day.

    Shock collar

    If you play in the cattails, get a GPS collar. I used to always worry about losing my dog to the point I'd not enjoy the hunt. Now I run a Garmin Alpha and I can ignore him for a few minutes if I need to without being worried that he's out of earshot. Not cheap though, but still a lot less...

    Nice member of the deer family, what exactly is a "shiras"?

    Where to bass fish.

    Larimore Dam out west of Grand Forks had LM bass in it back in the 90s and early 2000s. It was a fun little place to go chasing LMs with top water lures and buzzbait spinners. It's electric only and most of the places I'd catch bass were tough to get to from shore, so a boat of some sort is a...

    I can't believe stupid shit they come up with

    Hmm, seems we have plenty of prickly pear cacti around, but maybe we have something more exotic and difficult to grow????

    Arrowhead hunting

    There were a couple dickheads in news stories as of late that were caught with thousands of artifacts illegally dug up from Native American gravesites. I have no issue with people picking up a rock that's in the shape of an arrowhead when out for a stroll, but if you are digging up graves and...

    Several dead in Mandan

    I know when RJR took over that trailer court they implemented rule changes that were not very well liked by the long-term residents. Many were feeling like they had no option but to move.

    380 for CC

    One evening as my stepdad sat in the bar, I shot a street light out with a .22 LR using a vice grip. If you can put the round on target, they all work. - - - Updated - - - Note, I wasn't near as accurate with a ballpeen hammer.

    Dumb & dumber

    I knew, but never hunted with, some yahoos that would take the bb's out of shotgun shells and then shoot each other. I guess it really, REALLY hurts to get hit by a wad at near point-blank range.

    Winter kill

    Winterkill is a pretty complex problem but can be simplified a little. Once ice cover is on a body of water, sunlight gets really restricted in the water column. Hence, algae struggles to survive, much less thrive. So the dead algae along with any other dead organics begin to decay. Aerobic...

    Several dead in Mandan

    I read that book many years ago. Then a few years later when I lived in Williston, I found several spots not far from the Pumphouse that had all kinds of satanic crap painted on trees, and evidence of people gathering for more than just a few beers and some harmless fun. Always kept me on my...
