    2016 Goose hunting Frustrations

    The goose game is certainly changing. Very few days can you kick out decoys, poorly hide blinds, and shoot birds like you could 15 years ago. Heck, even days like you say when you have good birds scouted, are hid well, things can go bad. Hunting pressure on them is real I think. While I...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Anyone know the total cost of this so far? I read 10 million from the state, 8 million from Morton County, and who knows how much the pipeline company has spent on security, damaged equipment, etc. and lost work time. While I understand environmental concerns about pipelines, I also believe we...

    I Find This Relaxing to Watch (Euro fly fishing in creek)

    I only do it a few times a year but I love fishing little streams in the Black Hills. It's just like that and a lot of fun. Fishing hoppers on a fly line is like topwater fishing bass. But, it also involves more hunting of fish. Good time on a hot day!

    Electric bills

    One thing to consider when doing solar is each power company does things differently. Some charge access fees while others will only pay you wholesale price for the electricity generated rather than retail (the price you pay). As far north as we are, you also need to consider panels that the...

    Flip over fish house accessories

    Just go online and fine a plastics supplier. They sell UHMW plastic that is near bulletproof. I put 1/4" thick strips on mine years ago and pull it over gravel and concrete. The strips have hardly worn. Best $12 you can spend!

    Down Imaging

    I have gotten my DI setup OK, can certainly see trees and bait. But I still struggle a bit with my Humminbird sonar setup. I have an old Humminbrid 717 and it shows fish better at times than my Helix. I have not figured out how to setup my range and sensitivity to accurately show fish...

    Down Imaging

    I'm running a Humminbird Helix and I am still learning the DI function. It is nice as other have said to show trees & baitfish that would otherwise show up as a blob. It also helps to show fish sizes in comparison to your sonar marks. Pretty incredible at times. But, there are also times...

    Remington 700 Light Primer Strikes?

    Anyone give me some input here- have a Remington 700 that is all of a sudden striking primers light. It is inconsistent but enough to cause the gun not to fire on occasion....not a good thing. Gun and bolt looks clean and has been taken care of. My first thought is dirty firing pin/hole but...

    Big honker cross with a farm bird is my guess!

    Scrap metal/crushing service in S ND or N SD?

    Can anyone recommend a scrap metal/crushing service that operates in south central ND or north central SD? We have a place right on the border and are looking to have things cleaned up. Decent bit of scrap iron from the farm days along with various other iron implements. Also have some old...

    Too warm to drop a deer.

    I've got a huge Igloo cooler that I use regularly on hot years. Throw in three twenty pound bags of ice and go shoot a couple deer. We quarter them out and even two bucks will fit in there. This year looks like it will get used again. It holds 60 snow geese too I've found LOL!

    E-Collar

    I have been very happy with the 1900 series of Dogtra collars. Lost one (our fault) and the second one is even better. Would definitely recommend them. No beeper, just a vibrating page. My dad's lab absolutely hates the vibrate, it works better than the shock LOL!

    Migration

    This fall feels like the drought falls of the early-mid 2000's. I remember several days in October with record temps and really warm November too. We had some good years on the Missouri River during those times here in SD so I hope something changes. The last few years have been abysmal...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    I believe it was in a Bismarck Tribune article. Or another local newspaper source. I don't gamble and laugh at those who do so I could care less. But it would seem to me the tribe is hurting itself more than they may think. Maybe it is all my opinion, but once this is over I don't think...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    No question there is big money behind it. I just think there has to be so much going on behind the scenes. The ND taxpayers should be angry to say the least. Prayers to all the LE, I hope they are safe as they try to quell this crap.

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Read today that the tribe is spending $60,000 a month on porta potties alone. And, they're losing about 1 million a month in revenue at the Casino. It is certain that there are folks there who want to cause trouble and those who want to protest somewhat peacefully. I just can't understand how...

    Vintage sled heads

    I rode old Moto-Skis, early 70's F340's and later model Futura's. They rode like tanks, once I got on a modern sled it was amazing! Finally gave up the sport several years ago. If anyone is looking for old Moto-Skis, send them my way! Have three of them....

    Migration

    Guys in the area I frequented in SK are saying things are right on time with past years, even with the snow. That puts big #'s of snows in ND at the beginning of November. And who knows how long they stay. Things just get later and later each year.

    Ice fishing prep

    Buy some HDPE strips instead of the factory runners. They slide like crazy and are tougher than nails. I have pulled mine down asphalt for a couple miles (long story) and I can't hardly tell. Lights, I need to find something. Any links? I did strip lights way back when that sucked. Gotta...
