    North and South Dakota

    My neighbor does that too. Corn leaves blow in all the neighbors yards every winter. Yup, corn every year. Not to mention I would guess within a couple weeks he will choke me with herbicides. Why is the wind always west when he sprays? Hard to get angry with him though since we have known...

    Catching nightcrawers

    Dean my yard is like yours. Darn near killing the grass in some areas. I picked 175 just under my pear tree. Didn't get to go fishing and they are getting old, but the Koi enjoy a dozen or two every now and then. If my Koi are really really hungry so are the fish in the reservoir next to me.

    What are your plans for ice season 2018?

    My plan is to sell my $10K Ice Castle if I can for about $6500 and fish a couple times in my portable. More coyotes as Petras mentioned, and less fishing. By the time the ice is thick enough I would rather be looking for coyotes or hanging out nice and toasty in my reloading room. When I was...

    Wells County

    I heard some crazy stories about a deputy Wolf in Devils Lake years ago. That's your neck of the woods. I would be curious if that name ever floated past you.

    Memorial Day

    Hats off to all veterans today. Not only have they served their country and it's people, but they preserved the freedom for many people in Europe, and brought freedom to those who dared not hope in many other parts of the world. God Bless. Let us not only recognize their sacrifice, but also...

    DIY Duracoat - It can be done

    That is excellent workmanship SY. I bought a bottle of degreaser. The contents said Isopropyl alcohol. Ever since I have been using the newer Heat that you put in your gas tank in winter. The new Heat for new cars is Isopropyl so that's all I have been using for years to degrease. Wear...

    Any drone flyers ?

    I had an electric scale model Piper Cub. One day I flew out over the reservoir and was following behind (300 yards) some pelicans. As I flew over shore the neighbor kid ripped loose with his 12 gauge. I wondered if he was shooting at the pelicans. So I gave it another 200 feet in elevation...

    New Montana AIS Permit -Starts May 19

    It would be more important to add it to a boat license. My hooks don't have much for invasive species attached. Especially since the flies I buy will be in a Montana store.

    Anyone seeing Orioles or Hummingbirds yet ?

    So far none in Jamestown. Not seeing much for warblers this spring either. Three years ago my yard was overrun with warblers at this time. A couple of species were new sightings for me.

    Carp spawn

    I seen a guy yesterday with over 100 laid out on the bank. I wish I had taken a picture. I have never seen one guy kill that many. We were trying to fish walleye, but it was impossible to get your hook past the buffalo sucker. I landed eight on rod and reel. All bigger than I have ever shot...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    In one 6.5 Creedmoor I shoot Hornady ELD-X and in the Savage with a Criterion barrel I shoot Berger VLDs. I shoot 212 gr VLDs in my 300 mag. The reason for shooting them isn't because they are a tough bullet, but because they open at low velocities at long range. The reason for heavy is not...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    No, that isn't what I was comparing. Wrong on both cases. I was using 30 caliber. Weight makes no difference to wind, only ballistic coefficient. A 200 gr 30 caliber bullet with a ballistic coefficient of .435 will drift the same as a 100 gr smaller caliber with a ballistic coefficient of...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    BC .395 at 3200 fps 600 yard drift with 10mph wind is 26.4 inches BC .633 at 3000 fps at 600 yards drift with 10 mph wind is 16.2 inches. Aim directly at a deer heart at 600 yards and I would much rather have the BC of .633 Velocity and BC both are important, but as you notice the...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    Jack O'Connor's favorite load was 60 gr of H4831 under a 130 gr bullet. Today that load is reduced to 59 gr in most books. Jack O'Connor was considered the father of the 270 Winchester. He and Elmer Keith were always at each other about the 270. Keith didn't think anything would kill elk...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    Exactly:) Bow hunting spoiled me. For years I kept rifle hunting interesting by using different cartridges including the old 45/70. I was always trying something different to keep it interesting. My first long range I think was a little over 660 yards. Not much for range finders then, but I...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    For years I used 130 gr in my 270. Then one year I wanted to stretch it a bit. So I used a load from the XXXXXX Manual with a 150 Berger VLD. Back when we could buy extra doe license I dropped a doe and her fawn at 825 yards and 865 yards. I'll take a pic with my phone and post the page with...

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    Some of my relatives have farms on the Spirit Lake res. Don't get caught on foot out checking the cows Dogs running on the res will eat your ass. An acquaintance brought a predator hunting magazine back from Australia. Front cover was an electronic call, a rifle, and a half dozen cats...

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    I don't think they have their own data, but would guess it's available in one of the periodicals in their library. Often research is done by grad students and funded jointly through a university. I think I read the data about Michigan in the Journal of Wildlife Management.

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    Ditto. I love dogs, but don't have one because I don't want to be tied down. I don't want a yippy foot stool, and I don't want a 50lb dog in my camper, and I don't want to pay to leave them in a kennel. Cats? I have to agree with MSA. Studies have been done in England and here at home in...
