    New bait caster

    I get tired of loosing bottom bouncing rigs so I run 30 lb Spiderwire. I have run it since the year it came out. Some of my line is years old. The infrared heater ate up some while ice fishing, but that's the only Achilles heel I have found for Spiderwire. I think they advertise 6lb...

    Pelican Landing

    Rut2much that looks all to familiar. I go talked into that last year and I think the prop on my Mercury kicker was about six inches below the substrate. Like running oatmeal through the impeller. Oatmeal with rocks.

    Good News Guys, I'm starting my own conservation group................

    I think if it's dry enough the trees need water I don't think the truck will leave ruts. Here on Pipestem they really cut deer damage by simply using those white plastic sleeves. I would think if you come up with a name as suggested (Public Land Volunteers) one could go to stores NRCS etc...

    Reloading for first timer

    I went through 150 rounds of Creedmoor last week. I keep this up I'll need a new barrel in two years. Right now I am playing with the Nosler 130 RDF. I don't know why I bother when the 143 ELD-X already groups under .2 inches. I think the reason I have been shooting so much is that I have...

    Fargo area - youth conservation projects/programs?

    When I was scoutmaster one of the boys did this very thing for his Eagle Scout Badge. For things like that sometimes the trees will be donated. For example Ladish Malting here in Jamestown donated material for my sons Eagle Scout Badge project. Another group donated nesting boxes for my...

    Trail Cams Are Addicting

    I have six. I have only ever used them to check on deer for my grandson. Otherwise I run them around my yard. Twice they have been used for evidence in court. They have saved me about $10K. This week-end I took one along to watch the campsite while hunting turkeys in the Badlands. We run...

    Best idea. No to the compost.

    Good point. Bright kid.

    Anyone try one of these

    In a test on a rifle wouldn't that 30 up depend a lot on the rifle, mounts, and rings? Maybe I misunderstand. I had a heavy barrel Ruger with those milled in slots for their rings. Two inches right of bull and the scope was all the way left. I tried another scope and the same thing. I think...

    Seasonal Campers: Slides in or out?

    I always put my slides in. We were camped in Bismarck when that 90mph wind went through the campground. I pulled my slides in so there wasn't so much for the wind to catch. That one was ducking a bullet because a good size branch came down where my right side push out would have been. There...

    Camping

    Yes not so much camping, but we would rather be in our camper than a motel room. I don't like motel rooms. When I have to stay in one I use half a can of Lysol spray.

    Cannon

    Years ago some of the guys in North Dakota Muzzeloaders shot cannon. One guy had a neat 1/3 replica that shot D size batteries with surprising accuracy.

    Reloading for first timer

    KDM I have been contemplating a LabRadar. I am on my 5th chronograph, but would like a little more. Now I sometimes shoot over two chronographes, one at ten feet and the other at 100 yards.

    Reloading for first timer

    AR-15 you and I have a similiar history. My dad let me take out his Winchester model 43 in 22 Hornet when I was 10 or 12. I really don't remember. I do remember the $3.50 Lee loader that I hammered together loads with. When the 6.5 Creedmoor was new Hornady printed their load right on the...

    Reloading for first timer

    I agree you will save money buying a kit. If you want quality it's hard to beat the RCBS Rockchucker kit. I would pay a little more and get the one with the digital scale. You will find powders that will reload the 243, 308, and 300 mag, but performance will suffer if you don't purchase...

    Planer Boards

    You guys are making me want to get my gear together. Good grief I bought a new Lund with a 130 Honda back in 2003. I bought a Cannon downrigger for it and two big planer boards. I still don't have the boat rigged for either one. Can't decide how I want to do it, so I have never done it. I...

    Dick's Sporting Goods to destroy all unsold guns

    I have gone in and asked "do you have any Federal large rifle match primers" no. "Do you have bullets" oh yes right this way, and I am led to loaded ammo. "Do you have a RCBS Rangemaster" no what's that? I have asked for a half dozen things I know they don't have. I'm sure the clerk is happy...

    Dick's Sporting Goods to destroy all unsold guns

    Good bye Dicks Sporting Goods. I am also disappointed in Dunhams that we got in Jamestown. Give them your drivers license to store under the counter to look at a gun. Nope you can't see two guns. Nope you can't feel what the handgun feels like in your hands with the magazine in. They treat...

    Happy Birthday to an old warrior

    An old M1 Garand, lets see the pics. Every rifle is a peace of art. Gun pics are my kind of porn. :;:thumbsup Which reminds me I have to get a flintlock with a little German silver inlay and a nice forend cap.
