    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Final update. The 24v Strikemaster is legit. I have really liked it, even with the late thick ice we have had. I do not believe it will do the advertised 800" of ice with the 8" bit. I have gotten around 650" consistently, which is cutting holes on and off through the day. I think in really...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    I said clutch, probably should have said drive. It was in drill mode. Drive completely broke, wouldn’t spin the chuck in either direction. Motor just spun. Total fluke I know, I’ve abused Dewalt tools on the job site for many years. Just got a lemon. That said, I’d have bought a Clam plate...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Saga continues. Dewalt DC999 broke second trip. Returned it. Put the pistol bit on my gas auger. And picked up a SM 24V new for $250. Happy with the SM so far. Dewalt clutch breaking was a fluke but I didn’t like it too much. Great deals out there end of season on all augers!

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Yes, thats the one. They talk about all the items you list, but saying they suggest it happens everywhere is not correct. Options that could be used, sure. I thought the NDGF employee in particular was reasonable and understanding. He gets both sides, but believes baiting if removed will...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I just listened to the Hunt Talk podcast regarding this bill in ND and CWD in general. Worth the listen regardless of what side you’re on.

    Noem under fire...

    Noem has lost me. No matter the circumstance, she finds ways to push her agenda and get what she wants. You’ve got to be willing to work through the process, rather than find constant work arounds. That’s why a legislature who is 90% Republican and very conservative doesn’t really get along...

    Deal Alert!

    There are some good deals on all ice stuff there. Drill augers are darn near half price! Picking another one up!

    HB 1377 - Party Hunting

    I agree there should be common sense. Years ago we had a federalie rip into the decoys and jump into the pit after a good volley. We had birds in piles by coincidence and he commented that if they hadn’t been we could have been ticketed. Whatever. We had no idea who shot which one. He...

    HB 1377 - Party Hunting

    For clarification, party hunting is legal only for small game in SD. Big game hunting is not nor should it be. Too many opportunities for people to do shady stuff With a pheasant hunt if 10 guys, I’m not sure how you can say with certainty who shot what. This I have no issue...

    Pork Sausage Recipes

    Pork Sausage Recipes

    50# batch we usually do 50/50 deer to pork, but all pork is good too. Blend together 1/4 cup of ground black pepper, 1/4 cup tender quick, 12-15 cloves garlic, and yes a splash of liquid smoke along with a cup and a half water. Mix well into the meat. This is a good starting point but may be...

    F-150/2.7 Ecoboost

    What is turbo lifespan? I have had two friends that had turbos crap out at around 110k. One torched his pulling his camper in the mountains but the other was just normal driving. The second only had one go bad but they said when one goes the other will shortly. 6k fix at the time. That’s...

    Portable fish houses

    I’d suggest this over buying a new one. My replacement fit perfect.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    The fascinating part of all this to me is just the simple paradigm of being able to bait or not to bait. It’s a lot like the open trespass in ND versus closed trespass in SD. I’ve grown up with the laws I know and am not comfortable walking on unposted land nor do I want to bait. It’s just...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Lol, I figured the Trump guys would be running 3hp Jiffy’s while the Biden guys would be running the SM40’s (and driving Teslas to the lake)! Nothing like the sound of one of those Jiffy’s in the morning. I fished two full days last weekend and heard one gas auger. How things have changed!

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    I ended up doing what I didn't want to do initially. Bought an Eskimo Pistol bit and am running it on my Dewalt drill. No plate so far but with the amount of ice we have the handle is OK so far. I was really going to go with the SM 24v but I just wasn't happy with the reviews I saw. I also...
