    Dewalt cordless lawn tools.

    We packed the Dewalt 12" chainsaw in on horses hunting on several occasions to take care of any blow down or random trees on the trail. It works great. Used to carry 4 20v batteries but now carry 2 40v instead. A 40v lasts a long, long time. I can run one all day putting OSB on a roof and...

    The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will decide a core gun rights issue

    This will be an interesting case. The court will only address the issue in front of them and is careful not to rule on something bigger than the direct effects of the case. The one thing I've read about the Heller case is that it leaves a lot of openings for restrictions that can be upheld in...

    NDGNF Survey

    I did some reading and it sounds like nobody thinks that baiting will stop CWD. But they are trying to reduce it through less contact. As you say, what do you do when there are hundreds of deer on hay or certain fields? They certainly get it through contact it looks like, based on a couple...

    NDGNF Survey

    I agree with things being hammered down our throats. Experience that with the SDGFP too. Scientific, biological decisions should be the driving force of things, but the social aspect will always be there. I'd expect you should, if by pushing, get access to that survey if you really wanted...

    NDGNF Survey

    I don't have a pony in the show here being from SD. There is CWD in the unit I hunt that borders ND unfortunately. I don't know that CWD will be controlled no matter what we do. I didn't read any of the questions, but having a stats/human dimension guy coming up with it isn't the end of the...

    Medora fire

    Hopefully it lays down tonight and they can get line around it. Last I knew there were two heavy air tankers in Rapid City. Get them up early tomorrow and help get some line in where access sucks. Or so I hope they'll utilize them. Bad start to the year so far. SD is looking at much needed...

    Medora fire

    There have been many instances of vehicles quitting when fast moving fire fronts, smoke, and heat get close. I believe the smoke has more to do with it than anything but can't say for sure. A guy near my age from another town was killed in a burnover in southern South Dakota after the rig they...

    Optimax Issues

    Coils. Had a friend with the same year 250. He had a lot of coil issues and when it did it, it acted just like you described. It was weird, would lay down, then all of a sudden come alive and go. There was some warranty with the coils if I remember, he had to chase it quite a bit with the...

    used boat prices

    The price of nearly anything right now is pretty wild. Building materials, ammo, lawnmowers, boats, whatever, it's all gotten crazy. The fed says inflation is low......well if the price of goods goes up considerably, what do you call that? That is another conversation entirely! But, people...

    Buying and ownership of AR-15

    I don't think it's doom and gloom at all, just scenarios. Long way off from happening. But, our right to defend ourselves is getting challenged by the rights of a larger majority of Americans who don't think they should have to worry about defending themselves from firearms. And with each...

    Camping Reservation Systems & crazy demand

    What kind of camping reservation systems have you experienced in other states? The SD system allows reservations 90 days in advance, but you can book up to 10 days after the first available day. What we're seeing is if you want to go on a weekend, you have to book starting Tuesday night thru...

    Buying and ownership of AR-15

    While I agree, I believe that opinion is in the minority if the entire US public was polled. I feel as gun owners, we can't just fall back on the 2nd amendment discussion, or the self defense discussion. It just doesn't resonate with the non-gun supporting public. Perception is reality, and...

    Buying and ownership of AR-15

    I don't see a plausible way from them to take them. But, given the fact that a large percentage of Americans have zero connections to guns and all they see is bad media on AR's, I think you may be surprised at the support to ban/quit making them. We are a small group anymore, one that...

    New Walleye record 16.39lbs

    I fish the very same reservoirs those gizzard shad came from in W SD, along with spending a fair bit of time on Oahe, Sharpe, and FC. I don't think there is any question that shad have improved the Oahe fishery overall. The smelt have never totally bounced back from the flood and shad have...

    South Dakota Atty General

    I have significant questions about it all. The flashlight that was still on the next day and was said to be VERY bright. Maybe it just fell perfectly to be unseen? The impact pattern, stuff found in the car. Just doesn't add up. But, that said, think about the odds here. A guy driving at...

    West End of Sak in June?

    Thanks for the insight. Wind certainly looks like it could be a pain there, not many places to hide or deal with it. But wind can get you anywhere I guess! Appreciate it!

    West End of Sak in June?

    I've never fished the far west end of Sakakawea at all. Planning out summer adventures and are looking at fishing in the Tobacco Gardens to White Earth areas. Main thing I'm curious about is water clarity as it looks like inflows can make things pretty muddy. What should expectations be in...

    The miracle on ice happened 41 yrs ago today(2-22-80)

    I ice fished with him once. Super nice guy as you say. Pretty good stories too, which I could tell he was tired of telling. Pretty cool to be the one to score that goal!

    Clam Sled Runners

    Your setup is sweet for sure with a shack like that. I'm afraid the Smitty I am going to build won't be quite as nimble once the weight of the entire families gear gets put on there LOL! But regardless they make a barge into darn near an airplane, way easier to pull!

    Clam Sled Runners

    I got UHMW plastics from an online source. 3" strips I think. Drilled them and then countersunk the holes so my screws would be under the runner surface. They went on easy and are crazy durable. I have no issue pulling my sled across nearly anything. One time got stuck in a bad spot and had...
