    Cargo Trailer Conversions

    I had the same size trailer and set it up exactly how you described. Divider to the rear area separated the front from the back. I kept all the goose decoys and duck full bodies in the rear area. The front was use for blinds, floaters, etc. I like the trailer lined with plywood and something...

    Changing lawn mower oil filter ( epic fail)

    My cheapo mower doesn't run a filter. And, the drain is right tight to the deck before it rises into a curve. Impossible to change without getting oil everywhere. F-ing engineers LOL!

    Zebras in Lake Winnipeg

    Incorrect. While an adult mussel can attach at any time, the real threat is the immature mussels found in the water that may be in your boat. These immature velligers can live for a couple weeks in the water in the bottom of the boat or livewell. You go fishing in a new lake, fill and drain...

    ND zebra mussels

    I'm not into the liberal government debate. What I will say is that the training was very down to earth and reasonable and WY has good intentions. I truly believe from the information presented (biased or not) that WE AS HUMANS are the number one way these creatures are moved from one body of...

    ND zebra mussels

    LOL this is pretty much how WY does it. You explanation reminds me of the roadrunner thrust move from the movie Armageddon, not quite perfect but gets the point across! Ask the WY folks at the I90 check station how ZM head west. They find lots of boat a year coming from infested waters...

    Another grill recommendatiion thread!

    It seems everyone is one way or another. Right now I am leaning towards the gas. The food I've had off the pellet grills is good but not mind blowing. Everyone keeps taking about dried out and burnt food on a gas and I don't have that problem. The Smoke Hollow deal is super cheap and might...

    ND zebra mussels

    While not 1000% true, it is EXTREMELY rare for a bird to be able to transport zebra mussels from one body of water to another based on the training I attended. Frist, adult mussels need a solid substrate to attach to. Second, the immature mussels (veligers) are found in water and though they...

    ND zebra mussels

    I've gone through the WYGF private inspector training. It is 8 hours long and LEGIT. It was extremely eye opening and informative. The WY program is aggressive but yet flexible in many ways. The WY legislature set aside good money as "seed" money for the program. The sale of R and NR Aquatic...

    Frying pan ???

    I love cast iron but I don't use it for frying. Must be just me, but cast iron gets darn hot and stays hot but heats extremely unevenly. Not really what I like in a frying pan. I have a newer Lodge skillet and a an older dutch oven that I feel are both seasoned well and neither are what I...

    Another grill recommendatiion thread!

    The discussion on Traeger/Big Green Egg was interesting. I am currently shopping for a new grill. Nothing crazy, looking at a budget max of $1,000. Currently I have an old gas Weber along with an electric Masterbilt smoker. The Weber is a good grill just rusting out. I am not terribly happy...

    Building a new house

    I have been in the business for the past 15 years. First, don't go way bigger than you need. Yes, space is nice, but no matter what someone says about "cheap square footage", there is no such thing. Even with garages, be reasonable. Costs add up quickly. Set a budget and work towards it...

    Wolves on the water

    Sounds like the last time I fished it. Nasty winds, long runs way north, and lots of destroyed stuff! Did the winners go way north? Decent fishing from the looks of it, must have some fish around town? How are the fish looking so far?

    alberta fires

    The video is incredible. Lucky that all got out. I saw something like 180,000 acres now, which is nuts in that short of time. I would sure hope we are sending help in terms of ground resources. And, I hope we are sending up help for all the folks displaced. I heard something like 18...

    Official NDA Guide to Mountable Fish Lengths

    One of the last issues of In Fisherman has and article on how a 10" bluegill is much, much more rare than most other species. Interesting stuff....

    Anyone gardening yet.

    My spring garlic last year was a bust. I fall planted but it was probably early October. Might have to try later. What is everyone using for their garlic varieties? Where are you sourcing it from? Not much for local options here. Going to sow in the carrots tomorrow night. I am limited...

    Official NDA Guide to Mountable Fish Lengths

    Walleye-32" or 12# plus Northern- 46" LM Bass- 24" Smallmouth- 22" Crappie- 16" Perch- 15" Bluegill- 12" I am not a fish mounting guy but that list is about what I'd guess. I've pushed a few of those lengths and not come close to others. Lots more to it like others have said, circumstances...

    Anyone gardening yet.

    I had to restart a bunch of plants just last week. My initial batch started well but tanked for some reason. With good sun they did well, not so much with the week and a half of cloudy weather. Oh well. Onions are in and growing well. Garlic planted last fall is going well. But I only...

    planting grass.... this is awesome... not

    Lots of good advice here. For me, success has been with a loose soil bed. Can't be over compacted. Spread the seed, then rake or drag to get seeds slightly covered. Then, ROLL IT! Rolling makes a huge difference, I think it gets the seeds in good contact with the soil. Keep damp and go...

    Drawing the big 3 before I die

    I just don't think that you guys give out enough tags to have a preference system. The first few years would be the best but after that point creep would increase and the odds would be just as bad. Think of point creep like this- You get in line to get a tag, they give the tag to the next in...

    Invisible/Underground Fence Reviews?

    I shouldn't be laughing but the picture you painted there has me rolling. Poor pup sitting outside the door minding his own business!
