    Snakebite vaccine for dogs

    I agree 100% that snake avoidance is a good thing. I also will say that I can't say 100% the vaccine helped. However, for what we have into our pets and how much of a part of the family they are, I feel the vaccine is CHEAP extra insurance if your dog runs into a rattler. I always thought it...

    Snakebite vaccine for dogs

    So had my dad's lab get hit by a rattlesnake on Friday. Right on the nose, decent size snake. Dog has had the snakebite vaccine since young (she's 4 now). Swelled up a fair bit in the face and neck but really minimal compared to what I had thought. The vet didn't do any antivenom, just anti...

    Archery_Elk

    Montecs for a one piece. I am 100% confident in the Muzzy 100 3 blades. I killed an elk with lots of bone hits and had a full pass thru. I think they will do the job.

    where are the bigger fish? OAHE

    I think growth has been slow the past few years, and even with that the nirthern reaches have been best. According to the SDGFP smelt numbers are now at pre flood levels. If we can get warmwater baitfish to flourish ie gizzard shad we will be back in the good old days in a few years. That...

    The Farm Bill

    https://www.agriculture.com/news/business/crp-likely-to-expand-by-5-million-acres-in-new-farm-bill What isn't being talked about is the rental rates and planting cost sharing changes they are considering. The rental rate cap will be set at 80% of the county value and 40% of the seed costs...

    Pheasant surrogator?

    Anyone here know of anyone who has used a Surrogator to raise pheasants? After the rough winters and drought years we are thinking about using one. Got one we can try out, so worth the shot. Know one other person who says they had success with them, has a good population of birds after a few...

    Trolling Motor Battery Replacement -- 1 vs. 2

    Always replace both, your batteries will only be as good as your worst one otherwise. I get 5 years out of Interstates and would not go with anything else. 5 years is great for a deep cycle

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The fall garlic I put in is poking through the snow in the back yard right now. I have onion sets ready to go this week once this last round of snow burns off. Earlier the better I have found, they take a lot of cold. Everything else is started and sitting above the fridge. Started later...

    When Will It End?!

    Not a lot of snow here on the far W side of SD. Looks like more to the SE, but even still the highest I see is a foot with lots in the 6" range. Storm is going to have to get with it to get some of those areas 18-24" like they predicted. I think it is much wetter/warmer than what was thought...

    Van Hook Resort or Brendle's

    Hotels are the best bet. The cabins referred to are booked, tried a month ago. Going to be a zoo of people up there this summer I think. I will be there to pillage in July!

    Drag racing strip in Jamestown?

    Good luck with a from the ground up drag strip. A very wealthy family built an incredibly nice track north of Pierre. It ran for several years but is now shut down because it never made enough to cover costs, they subsidized it to keep it open. Fun to go fast...however technology today...

    Which sport you watching in the winter olympics?

    We had an American man win a world championship last year. But, that was an anomaly. Think about what you need to do true biathlon- groomed ski trails with a proper shooting area. Not many places even have groomed ski trails. In SD I help groom the only groomed trails in the state. Wyoming...

    Which sport you watching in the winter olympics?

    Cross country skiing can be boring to watch, but once you have done it you have a whole new respect level for those athletes. Skate skiing in particular is well known as the most difficult aerobic activity out there. I do it and it kills you! Incredible workout. Now, add in shooting to that...

    Another school shooting~

    This is spot on. While I agree there are more and more factors that affect kids these days, including social media, the media coverage, technology, video games, etc. the bottom line is pretty well stated above. Kids today DO NOT handle adversity well. Lots of reasons for it, but I see it...

    Marathons

    Put in the time, period. Start small, make mileage gains each week. For me, seeing that distance on the watch get longer and longer is fulfilling. Put in the long slow runs, but add in some speed here and there too. A four miler faster than you have ever gone beats and average 8 miler on any...

    You get to pay sales tax in ND for cabelas purchases.....

    You've been lucky. We've paid tax on it for years in SD with the Mitchell store being the first. Big companies, like Amazon, are starting to charge tax on everything to avoid the heat from the states. SD is yelling and screaming about tax revenue below projection and 100% of the blame is...

    Smoke pole

    Honest question- inline muzzleloader with saboted bullets, open sights, what is the real effective range? I mean I am the first to say I am not a crack rifle shot. With a centerfire rifle w/9x scope I don't stretch it beyond 250-275. I can't imagine I would be anywhere near comfortable...

    Fly rod fishing - trout/salmon - Gear recommendations

    The questions above are needed to really answer. Where you are fishing, what you are fishing for, and budget all play a factor. Some of the stuff I fish a 7'6" 4 wt is great in small streams with lots of cover/trees around them. A 5or 6 wt. in a 9' can do a lot of different things and can be...
