    Boots

    any advice on narrow running boots? I wear size13-14ish. 13 1/2 would be perfect. Most shoes/boots are too wide. Any thoughts?

    Official NDA Guide to Mountable Fish Lengths

    I agree with what someone else said...weight should be included. I have a 30in eye on wall that was 9.3 and a 28 in eye on wall that is 10.2. Weight can play a major roll when full of eggs.

    Tubman Ousts Jackson on $20's

    I'm not crazy about changing faces on our currency. Waste of time,funds and effort. However...Since a change is being made, I have no issues with Harriet Tubman on the bill. She was an incredibly brave woman. If my history serves me right she made 19 trips through swamps, sloughs, forest at...

    Dumpin the Dip!!

    Ive been dipping now for 23 yrs. Quit recently for a month but of course came back. Hard to quit when many of my pals do it. I love having one when hunting/fishing or driving. I have developed bad acid reflux. When I quit for that month it got ten times better. Now back doing it again the...

    The walking dead season 6

    I think Glen too. I think I read somewhere his contract was only for six seasons. I love the show and thought finale was pretty good. I'm no critic just like the entertainment.

    2016 Tracker Pro Guide V-16 SC

    I looked at a new Tracker boat in Fargo a few years ago. Kinda wished I bought one. Ended up with a Lund. I really like the lund but would have never bought it new due to crazy prices. Trackers have come a long ways in the boat world. Years ago they were a bit behind in quality but in the...

    Do RED hooks make a difference??

    I find it hard to believe a red hook matters. How much of the hook can a fish actually see? Small, thin, not to mention probably a minnow, plastic or worm hooked on. I doubt they see much. Plus...I was always under impression red disappears after a certain depth. So if it did make...

    lyme disease

    I was diagnosed with lymes 2013 after going on a bear hunt in northern MN. Has changed my life. I think for the most part I beat it but have many post lyme symptoms that come and go. Many nerve issues, sensitive eyes, arthritis in knees, dizziness and fatigue. These come and go but not as...

    boats

    I agree with that too. Now many guys are financing boats like a house payment. Make payments for 15 yrs. Crazy. My logical thinking I just can't see paying that much money for something you can't use everyday. Paying 60k for something you'll use for 4-5 months isn't in my thinking or...

    boats

    quote from fishreaper...You will have a huge smile no matter what you buy, a 21 foot ranger or a 16 foot tracker, the fish dont care." I agree with this. I know a lot of guys with giant expensive boats that have no idea how to fish. The boat doesn't catch you fish. I would love to have a...

    concussion

    I am a coach and former HS and college athlete. Things are different now. I'm betting many of us have had concussions but never knew it. I can remember a couple. I was never diagnosed but when you can't see and are staggering after collision-you don't need a doctor to tell you. The big...

    This Is What Life in North Dakota Looked Like in 1935

    Life may be better now or at least easier. But...people were much better then. I'm finding I like people less and less. But get a chance to talk to an old timer and it's very rewarding. No entitlement in those days.

    Trailer

    Same boat as well. Been looking for an atv trailer for some time. Don't want to break the bank but then again, don't want junk. Everything leads me to buying all aluminum. Lighter, no rust worries like steal and no wood floor rot worries. Yet, more expensive.

    Winchester Model 70 extreme weather

    Obi wan...I guess I kinda feel opposite. Feel with MAG u are loading twice. Push in the MAG then push MAG in. Actually I don't hate magazines just used to hinged floor plate. More dislike 24 in barrel. Ps sorry fellas is detachable magazine better than clip or is it something else lol!:)

    Winchester Model 70 extreme weather

    Anyone have any experience with this gun? Wonder about the grip and balance? Is stock smooth or does it have a little grain? I know it has a fluted 22in barrel i believe. Side note..I bought a browning xbolt ss stalker last year in 25.06. Used it first time this season. Discussed on here...
