    Don't Mess With ND Farmers

    even if the dog did go for the throat, a quick finger in the dogs butt would stop it.

    Work from office or home?

    I've done both and I will be honest and admit I am much more productive in the office. I like the structure and it also helps to keep my work life and home life separate. For me, there are just too many distractions at home to stay motivated. I do know some who work from home and it works great...

    auto inflatable life jackets -- do they need to worn to count

    They are comfy once you get used to them. There have been plenty of times were I forgot I had it on until I jump in my truck to go load the boat. I had one deploy during a hot/humid week when I left it in the boat which was covered. Also had one deploy when I was a dipshit and speared a huge...

    Winnipeg

    we tried live minnows on dead sticks in a very target rich environment and not even a bite. Hopefully the bite improves later in the season.

    Winnipeg

    fished all day Saturday and Sunday morning east of the mouth. Found plenty of fish but they were tight-lipped. Spoons and rattle baits were about even. Most of what we did catch was 18-22". Biggest was only 23". Fished 12-25'. Tons of suspended fish.

    Winnipeg

    I've been up there many times (heading there this weekend) but have never used a guide. Blackwater cats is probably the most popular. For the most part he is a tag-along service. You use your own truck and follow him and his network of guides around. If lake travel is really difficult I think he...

    New Boots

    I'm not sure that they make 1/2 sizes. I think a 12 would work just fine. Lots of places have free shipping if ordering online. Order a 12 and a 13 and return one. I think I ended up ordering 3 different sizes until I found one that fits. As others have mentioned, they are a great for sitting...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    I think I'm on m 4th season with the 40v SM. I was very sceptical giving up the gas auger since I fish lake winnipeg fequently and the ice gets very thick up there. I have been very impressed with it! If you fish a lot of dirty ice you will go through some blades though. I also have a...

    10/22 Stuff

    Mostly true. There are some autos that will cycle them reliably. Remington 552 and 550-1 will cycle shorts. I have both rifles. 552 is prettier but 550-1 shoots better IMO.

    10/22 Stuff

    I have a bunch of different 22 rifles but didnt have a 10/22 until a couple years ago. Nice rifle and shoots fine just not that exciting for me. I'm partial to tube fed rimfires.

    New Flip Over

    i had a one man flip, and 2 man flip and a hub house that were all clam products. I now own those same sized houses but they have been switched to Otter. IMO otter is a better quality product. Most of my use is up on Winnipeg where conditions are more unpleasant. If I was only fishing out of my...

    Looking for mid-size pickup

    for the tasks you listed I would stick with a 1/2 ton. My previous job had me flying all over the country and renting trucks to haul my gear way out in the sticks. renting a full size truck on short notice was often not an option so I frequently had to go with a midsize. I had the colorado...
