    Bear Attack on Cam

    5575, I gotta admit, I have little interest in hunting bear, but if I had such an encounter...I'd kill every damn one the law would allow! From a distance, with a rifle.

    Bear Attack on Cam

    I think there's an old adage about NOT poking the bear that's applicable here.

    Bis-Man Reel and Rec "Take a Kid Fishing" day June 3rd, 2017 Sweet Briar Dam

    These are great events! I did something similar up at New John's a few years ago and had a great day.

    Metal roof pros/cons

    So long as the place is insured, I wouldn't worry about hail dings. That's why we carry insurance on things. Metal can be deafening during a heavy rain or hail. I'd make sure the install included some soundproofing under the metal. As far as fading, I see some 10+ year old high end metal...

    Buying new tires Memorial Day sales or Labor day sales?

    Is this the 3rd tire set for the vehicle? Two sets of tires and you are at 80k on the second set with half the rubber left is pretty damn good wear if the truck started with BFGs. I run 10 ply Hankook tires on my F250 and got about 45k on the first set, and looking like I will get about the...

    Deer are Jerks

    I think the worst I've ever seen though was the damage that happened when a fella hit a simmental bull while driving a little chevy Citation (or some equivalent). That big old bull came right through the windshield and damn near killed him. Luckily for him he was an avid wrestler/body...

    Juneberrys

    Juneberries at my place were in bloom a few days ago, up to a week ago. The berries are already being set. Look down in wooded draws (small thickets) near streams and rivers. If'n you've been to Indian Hills, Juneberries were/are common along the road going out to the low-water ramp area. So...

    Deer are Jerks

    I have not yet had a serious bump with a deer, but I have hit a horse...does that count? A frigging horse impact at something approaching modern speed limits is quite the screw-up when driving a 1977 Ford and it's grille guard. My friend who was on the passenger side got knocked out as the...

    UTV / Side by Side

    I have a 2013 Pioneer. Awesomely dependable, not very sexy though. There are three things I don't like about my Pioneer. 1. If you're a bigger guy, it's a little tight getting in behind the wheel. 2. The older Pioneers are locked axles. Tough on the grass when offroad, tough on the tires...

    A lost fisherman on the Missouri river

    Deepest water in the area is a little over 20 ft, current at the max is about 2 mph with LOTS of slower water. There are lots of eddy's and slackwater areas. I'd contact NDDES to ask for any latest aerial photos and analyze them for the noted eddy's and slackwater areas. Perhaps Civil Air...

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    I could be wrong, but is an archery target filled with heat sensitive plastic a good idea? The archery target I have sucks donkey balls. The reason for it being so hateful is how badly my arrows stick in the damn thing. It's a layered "block" style with the layers being a soft plastic foam...

    A lost fisherman on the Missouri river

    I'm not going to lie, falling in out of the bow of my Fisherman came to mind when I bought my last two trolling motors (one was actually an upgrade). I wear my IPilot remote control around my neck every time I am in the boat. Now with the ulterra, I can actually get the motor to deploy and...

    No Muskrats?

    Yeah, I don't know which virus the NDGF referenced when talking about muskrats a few years ago, but they said the rat population has always been cyclical with respect to numbers due to disease outbreaks. I'd have thought they would have rebounded by now so there may be another issue I am not...

    Vasaline and Chapped Lips

    You fags don't drink enough beer while fishing! Beer will keep them wet. Either that, or like Guy said, use chapstick with a sunscreen. That too works on my NA days.

    Knife birthday gist ideas/help please

    Yeah, go to Scheels and see what they have for high end filet knives. Then take said knife to a trophy shop and have them engrave whatever you want on it.

    Fishing toon

    Yes, especially in the damn winds that have been around here just about every time the toon has hit the water. Near as I can tell, it trolls at about 2.4-2.7 mph with no wind. A little too fast for spinners, but I can live with that while pulling cranks. It gets down to about 1.1-1.2 mph when...

    Yeah, saw this earlier on the Tribune. Another sad day.

    pines for deer bedding area

    Colorado blue spruce and Black Hills spruce do well up here. You will most likely get some deer rubbing on them and they may even browse them a bit, but the size you want to plant totally depends on your budget. If I was doing a small planting of like twenty, I'd probably try to find a deal on...
