    This a-hole needs a better ride as well.

    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    Coyote, I feel for ya. I drove through the D4 area last week and was amazed at the lack of grass in some of the hayfields. I could see where a guy went in to cut it and then just said "screw it, it ain't worth the fuel" on several fields. Have you checked NDSU's webpage and the ND Ag...

    The Deep Philosophical Question of the Day

    Down. Who's the dumb bastard going up with them?

    Monster Carp Slayer

    I butt hooked one about 1.5 times the size of that one a couple years ago and handed the rod to a gal in the boat. She fought that sucker for a good 20 minutes before the hook pulled out on the second or third time up to the boat. I hate the damn things but if you are looking for monster...

    Got rain?

    I looked in my rain gauge this morning and had a nice 1.4 inches of water. Sweet, I am now up to about 2.5 inches for the summer. I suppose 2.5 inches for Summer is all some of you normally provide, but I'm accustomed to working with a little more.

    4C Mule Deer

    I think the general premise here is that we as hunters need to do as good a job as we possibly can of staying where we have permission to hunt. I have zero tolerance for anyone laying claim to public land, and will rat their ass out to the NDGF and land managing agency when I run into it. What...

    Got rain?

    The afternoon has been good to us in the Bismarck area, still a light rain and I've now got 0.88" out by Lincoln.

    Anyone see much of this?

    I've caught pike that were blind in both eyes. Always figured someone used them as finger holds. They tended to be pretty skinny, but the sockets weren't filled in with bone.

    Bismarck Prop Works

    I've had aluminum props repaired there in the past. They do good work. One thing I will note though is I lost about 200 rpm with each repair. This was on an aluminum 19P semi-cleaver prop, Yamaha factory version. I've not had to get a stainless repair yet, but do have a candidate for going...

    Mule Deer Hunt Planning

    The meat just seemed really susceptible to spoiling quickly when thawing it before cooking. I have noticed this on an elk and a couple deer.

    Mule Deer Hunt Planning

    Err, it has been raining in the southwest. I think it will take cooler temps. The cool season grasses won't take advantage of the recent rains when it's been 90 degrees.

    Dicamba Drift?

    Sandy soil and tordon are a bad combo. Organic farmers are probably the most up in arms with their neighbors. You are talking serious problems if an organic farmer pops positive for an herbicide like this. I HATE leafy spurge!

    Mule Deer Hunt Planning

    Skip the backpack for the deer unless you are really interested in quartering and deboning a deer in the Badlands. I have recovered probably 20 deer in the Badlands over the years and my favorite is the ugly green sled I bought in 2003. It alone has had a deer on it for more than 15 miles and...

    Dicamba Drift?

    I have accidentally killed or set back a few trees of my own. 2-4D is plenty capable of putting the smack down on some trees. If only the weeds were as susceptible as my trees!

    Twp and Range for Handheld GPS?

    Several years ago I put section numbers into a GPS as waypoints at the center of the section. It worked well for knowing exactly which section I was in, etc. Even though I tried a few times, not even I could get lost by 6 miles. Tech has changed a lot over the past ten years though, so I...

    National Grasslands

    Because we are talking about the LMNG here, and public lands rented out to ag interests in general. We disagree on the level of importance the competing interests should be given. I have been very disappointed in the past when making plans to recreate (hunt) a given area of public land only to...

    National Grasslands

    Point is you were making snarky comments. So here's one for you. Outside of Antler, a stepfather and father-in-law usually are two different people. Lord, I apologize for that...and be with the little pygmies out in Africa.

    National Grasslands

    Pics are representative of the entire pasture. I don't need to cherry pick the locations within the pasture. Besides, shouldn't the grazing be done at the proper level for each pasture and not lumped all together? I know we do that as there are differences between each pasture. Nice...
