    Coming to a reservoir near you

    The best you can do is what WY is doing. First, require inspection of each and every vessel that crosses into the state. Provide decontamination units at each station. Second, put out a HUGE public information campaign to educate boaters in the state. Provide decontamination at popular lakes...

    Sweet Jesus whats next

    You won't have to be that close to take a peek at it. It will be similar to driving down the street and being able to watch a big screen TV through the window. Might actually be nice, you get one guy on each side of you and who needs side imaging LOL!

    Questions about Last Mountian Lake in Saskatchewan

    The disappointing part of Ft. Peck is the almost never reliable ice conditions. Way to many gas pockets and big winds that make the ice crappy. Add in the garbage access to the lake and then you understand why there are such big fish there.

    Boat Trailer Replacement Fenders

    Has anyone bought replacement fenders for their "average" Shorelandr trailer? I have the white ones with built in top and side steps and am in need of replacement. Shorelandr is a PITA to deal with and it seems like there are lots of similar options out there for a lower cost. But, nothing I...

    Tree planting ?'s

    Yes, it is hard to work between them. Our smallest disc is 14' and it does not fit, well it does if you tear the shit out of the fabric. We may have found a smaller one and hope to be able to use it. I would like to do a bunch of hand replants and then keep things black.

    Tree planting ?'s

    We did a good amount of trees in the mid 2000's with fabric into CRP type ground. The conservation folks recommended not mowing or tilling along the rows, only to rely on the fabric. Well, it was a pretty big failure. Some made it but they are all stunted IMO. Really disappointed and wish we...

    Montana Big Game Combo Tags

    Do they still allow you to send them back (minus the 10% or whatever) if you don't draw your special unit? Basically, you apply for the combo. Once you get that, you can apply for the special units. The unit we used to apply for was like 8% odds. Enough better over the counter options that...

    Do-it-yourselfers strike again

    PrairieGhost, hope all turns out well! This HGTV crap just makes me wonder how many people get into "oh shit" mode not very far into their "easy" project. They omit about 99% of the actual project and show nothing other than huge issues. I have been in the industry for a long time and I still...

    Used boat shopping.....

    So I'm just getting started doing a little new to me boat shopping. Nothing crazy, just looking at 17' is aluminum, four stroke 115hp +, 15k-20k range. Just a good used rig. I've always watched online ads (Walleye Central, etc.) and have saved a lot of different boats for price comparison...

    Spring snow goose migration report 2017

    It's like a clock every year. Show up the 3rd weekend of March in the east central part of the state and you have the bulk of the birds right there in front of you. They may be gone the next week, but they have been there that weekend every year. For those out there next weekend it will be fun!

    Spring snow goose migration report 2017

    It's March 7th. Maybe a bit ahead of time, but with the weather coming this weekend I still say peak hunting in SD will be the third weekend of March. Always is, like clockwork. Thank goodness I sold all the decoys LOL, I finally got smart enough to just relax about the migration. Best hunts...

    Improving the PLOTS program

    For those of you that have hunted Montana BMA's, how did that process go? I will tell you that when I tried, it sucked. This was a few years ago, but everything that was there was tied up with hunters that had gotten the limited permission. But, they never hunted. They were empty each day...

    Archery Turkey Hunting

    Anyone here spend much time archery turkey hunting? I am giving it a go for the first time this year. Have a blind, decoys, call, etc. Have spring hunted once before but didn't spend a lot of time. I have a few friends who have hunted from a blind with a bow and they act as if the birds are...

    Cabin Fever

    You are not alone. I will be putting down flooring, hanging doors, and installing trim. Sick and tired of the to-do list LOL!

    Food plot planning

    Even a 100 I would want to use a tractor or pickup. I think the Firminator is marketed towards those low HP tractors that really can't pull a decent disc but can do a little work with a 3 point and narrow width. As far as the ATV and breaking ground, if at all possible I would use a tractor...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    I am most appalled by the pictures of the trash and abandoned property at the camp. For folks who were worried about the environment they sure left a disaster for others to clean up.

    No Life jackets

    For anyone one that thinks they can swim well and don't need it, I can say that I wouldn't bet on it. I can swim like a fish, grew up in the pool. In high school, we decided to be idiots and jump out of the boat and swim to the dock on a rainy, windy spring day. Fully clothed, typical fishing...

    Cost per SQ FT for building a house

    Come on down to the Black Hills of SD. I live in a new neighborhood, plain jane house. A clone of mine just came up for sale over 250k. 2300 sf finished, both levels included. 60' x 110' lot. 4 beds, 2 baths. That is nearly highway robbery. Most homes in the area that are new in the...

    Is ice season done?

    How are the lakes in the south central part of the state? Heading north across the border this weekend to visit family, am planning on bringing ice gear but am curious how the snow melt affected the lakes. Lost a TON of snow in the last week.
