    Ice fishing DIY/shack mods/equipment

    3 inch wide strips of 1/4 inch thick UHMW plastic are better than any factory runners. Keep them off gravel and pavement and they will slide like greased lightning. Or, drag them over everything like I do and they still slide well. Best twenty bucks ever spent.

    The Food Plot & Habitat Thread

    Yes, there are some good starting points down there. We just have no attracting power, there is good ag land all surround and lots of pheasant driven food plots. We are hoping something different out there will help attract deer to the area rather than just passing through. Plenty of cover to...

    The Food Plot & Habitat Thread

    I've read a lot of good info on here and thought it would be great to have a place where everyone could share their food plot & habitat work in one place. Sharing what worked for you/didn't sure is helpful to those of us starting out. I'm just starting out on a couple different projects, the...

    Trail Cam Pics 2017

    Velvet sure makes them look big! First year testing out cameras and it is addicting! Really adds to the anticipation of the season. Each time I sit in the tree I see the pictures in my head and hope they show up. Hasn't happened yet but it's been fun!

    Scent drags?

    Anyone use scent drags with much success? I have a couple stands that are just a few yards off where they should be and I need to be able to pull a buck across into range. Thoughts? I know a few guys who swear by dragging scents, they say time after time deer cross the scent and follow it...

    Vintage snowmobiles

    Got some Moto-Skis sitting around collecting dust. Nothing racy just 73 F340s and an older doo clone. If anyone is interested they'd go cheap. New sleds are wicked. Mountain sleds weigh less than 420 pounds and make 165hplans stock. The old tanks weigh 450 pounds and make 30hp lol!

    Lowrance or Humminbird for ice fishing

    That makes sense with the DI/SI. I never looked at the DI capabilities on the ice version, which there are none. So, Helix 5 ICE for $500, or the Helix 5 G2 GPS for $300? The ice transducer is $100 while their complete setup is $250. Blue Box and I think I'm good. Just need to know if the...

    Lowrance or Humminbird for ice fishing

    Can anyone tell me then is there a difference between say a Helix 7 and Helix ICE 7? Same screens, menus, etc. available or are there ice specific features with the ICE version? Hbird customer service couldn't answer the question so.....

    Ice Fishing Sakakwea

    So does not one fish the far reaches of the Hook? A good GPS, good vehicle, and good ice would seem to be fun with all that structure.

    Hunting Clothing

    Check out Kings Camo. XKG line is very nice and quality is good. Much less than others. I believe in buying quality but also believe you can find great gear brands that balance quality and cost.

    "Other" tackle & manufacturers

    So I always get stuck in the same rut of tackle. But the last few years I've been found some really nice stuff that isn't mainstream. https://www.jeffsjigs.com/products/tungsten-zooplankton/ Awesome ice jigs! http://www.riverwalleyes.com/Tackle/BucktailFlies.aspx Really nice bucktail...

    Fishing tournament teams yes or no

    Locally I don't know many who are "official" teams. Definitely guys that share some info, but most seem to be more tight lipped than they let on. However, on the pro level, they've been doing it for years. There are SD guys that have been in partnership and share all winnings equally since...

    Boat windshield protector?

    Just a follow up. Went with the Truxedo windshield protector. Works great and fits well. Secure mounting via the straps. Worth the money and then some to me. Thanks for the input!

    Stand or get fired

    There is no question a man like Pat Tillman would stand for the national anthem. Nor do I think he would agree with those that don't stand. But washing "conspiracy theories" of his death into the mix is no better than players bringing "inequalities" onto the football field. Neither has a...

    Boat windshield protector?

    Thanks for the input. I just want to make sure the thing will stay on at 65 mph! Both were the options I looked at.

    Ruffed Grouse???

    I have a real honest question- are they really that skittish of birds? We have a few in the Black Hills and they are dumber than a box of rocks. I have had to chase them to get them to fly. Stop beside them on the mountain bike and watch them walk through the aspens like I wasn't there. I've...
