    Interesting read

    This guy "learned" while he was in college. Back in the 90s while I was at UND we would get the occasional "climate change" modeling expert. I was the jerk in the audience back then who would always ask how they handled the solar output. It never failed, they always would say that it was a...

    Bakken formation in1988 and fracking.

    The first frac job I helped with while working on a workover rig was back in 1985. Basic frac'ing has been around about 30 years longer than that. The difference between then and now is that these are horizontal wells. The Bakken itself has long been known to be hydrocarbon rich, but it's too...

    Better or Worse?

    Marbleyes has been paying attention to the world around him. My take on congress and our federal government representation in general is that...they ALL suck donkey dick. I got screwed by ACA as I was one of the people they thought needed to help pay for everyone else's health insurance. And...

    Another tire thread, for SUV this time.

    After perusing tirerack.com last night, it doesn't look like Cooper wants to make tires in the Toyota size of 265/70-17. I run the Hankook ATM's on my 3/4 ton. Pretty happy with them overall, but I don't think I want them on my SUV as they're a little too aggressive and not that great on ice...

    Property Tax Increase

    Marbleyes, I am going to hazard a guess and say that those mineral royalties held in trust because the heirs/owners can't be found are the prime ones to get usurped by the current surface owner.

    anybody here a saltwater disposal well lessor?

    I know I wouldn't necessarily want a salt water disposal well anywhere near where I lived, hunted, or anything else. Lots of traffic, increased potential for a SW spill, etc. The amount they pay to the surface owner is not something I am familiar with though, so maybe it's attractive? One...

    Property Tax Increase

    I am a little out of my league on income taxes, but I thought for sure you paid income tax to the state in which it was earned. shorthairs can probably correct me if I'm wrong on that. The caveat though to that is that if you were coming here only to work from a state like Minnetucky that has a...

    You guys make my head spin when you get rolling on all these custom firearms. Where or where do you find the time?

    Heck, it looks cold all the way to the New Year at this point.

    Property Tax Increase

    But you are OK with the teachers and garbage collectors being taxed to build farm to market rural roads for the farming community? Or the farmers for being taxed to build roads into boat ramps for us anglers? I mean, I get it, the rush to develop was dumb on so many levels that it makes my...

    GSP ??

    A GSP is NOT an outdoor dog in ND and I don't know anyone who leaves one out in the cold that is anything short of a douche. They will hunt in cold weather, especially if you put a jacket on them (neoprene ones are great). But they will absolutely get cold if left to sit at temps in the...

    Property Tax Increase

    Your original post said mineral owners don't pay P&E taxes. They do, hence your original post was just wrong. Production and extraction taxes going to support the mineral development is not something that I think many mineral owners have a problem with in general. Using that money to pay for a...

    Another tire thread, for SUV this time.

    So my grocery getting, kid hauling, daily commuter of a 2015 Toyota 4-Runner needs a new set of shoes. It came with the Bridgestone Dueler HT, and they've been OK...just nothing special. Plus they are legitimately shot at about 43k. For the most part, this is a town and highway runner, I use...

    Getting Grandpa an elk

    I think I agree with Bowhunter_24. I would say either E3 or E2 units are a good choice, if you do it in E3 let me know. This is a QUALITY endeavor, I wish you the bestest of luck!

    Property Tax Increase

    You are wrong, period. The production and extraction taxes are paid by royalty owners as well, it just comes out ahead of their seeing the check. Much like payroll taxes do on a 9-5 job. One could argue that the state was just giving away its share of royalties and not the P&E taxes. But...

    Property Tax Increase

    My understanding is that the state mandated a more regular review of valuations. People that recently had their places assessed for tax purposes were getting upset that they had neighbors with similar properties that hadn't been looked at in 5+ years. So one was paying more for taxes based on...

    And of course, we can all run for public office. City, county, state, and federal elections are held pretty often.

    Property Tax Increase

    You saw my post on Burleigh property taxes. The property in my latest post has a net tax rate of 0.79% this year. Which counties are so high as to jack the state up to 1.2%?
