    Do you process your own deer?

    Bordering on Nazi-like. Hate that crap in the grinding process.

    Do you process your own deer?

    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it was illegal for processors to commingle meat from different customers?

    Do you process your own deer?

    I've gone back and forth on this over the years. I like my product better than pretty much everywhere I've ever tried, but I don't enjoy the processing as much as I should. So I literally bounce back and forth, one year I do my own...the next I may pay someone else. - - - Updated - - - Note...

    Used marine electronics

    Market, yes. Exorbitant prices...probably not. Electronics loses about 30-40% of its value each year. So you could maybe get $600-700 for what you paid $1,000 for last year, and $350-$400 for it after year two, etc, etc. By the time it's 3-5 years old, it's not worth much at all to most of...

    Buffalo Hunt

    Your wife has a funny name. I'd say you lead a charmed life, not only in locations but in finding a great partner that enjoys the same activities! That is a great job the two of you did on this one, a buffalo hunt has got to be a challenge.

    Any Birders here?

    Most likely the mourning doves' annoying ass European cousin, the Eurasian Collared Dove. They don't migrate like the Mourning Doves, but I suppose there's probably a Mourning Dove or two that actually tries to overwinter in ND. - - - Updated - - - The State Capitol usually has a flock of...

    Remington model 30 express 30 06

    For me... Original wood stock I cracked running through deadfall in cattails chasing a deer some twenty years ago. Also broke the scope and hurt my ribs. Lesson learned. Replacement synthetic I cut down to fit my girlfriend and son last year. I now have a Tikka that fits them, so I can...

    Remington model 30 express 30 06

    http://richardsmicrofitgunstocks.com/ I just ordered a stock from the above. Mine is an unfinished version, but I like doing the finish work. - - - Updated - - - Either that or Boyd's

    ND deer opener

    I'll be lucky to get out at all this weekend. Guess I'll be burning some leave next week!

    ND deer opener

    Just great, now I gotta find my dictionary. You can't use terms like vacuous amongst us bespawlers.

    spear fishing

    A chain saw will work on thinner ice, but what most people do (from what I've seen) is they use a regular ice auger to drill a rough opening and then an ice saw (google images will help with that if you haven't seen one) to finish up the job. Bottom line is that at the end you are going to have...

    Papa Smurf had a REAL GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

    I haven't heard since, but my sis reported that her husband and his group had five on the ground during MN's opener. They usually spend a full week hunting in northern Minnetucky, so I'm guessing there's been more blood shed since.

    E-Collar GPS with Beeper?

    Duck, I had heard that as well with the original Alpha, a delay in issuing a correction to the dog. I have not run into that issue with the newer version of the remote and collar setup.

    E-Collar GPS with Beeper?

    Garmin Alpha user here. Really like the collar, remote ain't difficult to use, but no beeper. Guess I have never needed the beeper though as noted above, the split second it takes to look down at the remote hasn't been a negative. That long antenna on the collar though is annoying. I put a...

    Theropy

    With a lot of prey species not doing well, I am thinking this is going to be a tough winter for the coyotes. Bummer. For them.

    Handlaoding

    I load for my 25-06 and 7 mm Rem Mag. I now have a 243 in the family as well, so I may pick up reloading for it over the coming years. Problem is...I/we just don't shoot as much as I'd like to, and surely not enough to make reloading a big financial savings.

    Neg Reps.

    I thought we measured our worth around here with the Bakken Special pickup trucks? Will I have to put an addition on to the chicken coop to keep up with the MooU crowd now?

    Sitka fanatic bibs/jacket

    When it's 40 below zero, I don't worry too much about waterproof clothing. I just brush it off. I bought my girlfriend a new jacket here a little while back and looked at some of that Sitka gear. They sure have a high opinion of it. We went with a Scentlok set and while I've NEVER been a fan...

    Lasik

    I believe I got mine done in March. Greatly appreciated the cooler, damper conditions than I probably would have the hot dry days of summer. I say get a pair of windshields on your face and get out there!

    Corn stove

    So the dumb question is, how is the overall cost of running a corn stove compared to gas, propane, or electric heat? For the maintenance of coal, wood, or corn, I would be hoping it's a significant savings above the no muss and fuss other options.
