    Bismarck/Mandan Ramps?

    Just visited the Steckel boat ramp, the river is largely open from there going north, not at all south of Steckel. That's 24-25 miles of river ice that still needs to melt before they will push out the ramps in Bismarck. I am guessing it will be sometime around the middle of next week before...

    Robins-

    Saw my first robin in the yard last weekend. I know some hang out at the capitol all winter in at least some of the past years, but this may be the earliest I've seen one at my house. Oddly, the owls abandoned my place early this winter, I still have plenty of rabbits for them.

    Jackrabbit Drives of the Past

    I saw a jackrabbit yesterday up northeast of Steele. First one I've seen in the country in some time. Too many coyotes around nowadays, the coyote and jackrabbit populations are inversely related. When coyote prices get high, plenty of jackrabbits around. Low coyote prices and they're almost...

    African Exotics in Texas

    I don't know any of the details of the hunt, mostly because I am pretty sure it's just another advertisement for a pay-for-hunt operation. As far as the shot police? Well, I ain't gonna lie...not all of my shots in life were an immediately lethal brain or heart shot. We praise bowhunters who...

    FWIW, monitoring = data collection. It's very difficult to do a good job of sciencing if one doesn't have data. There's a book out there named Freakonomics (actually it's a series of 3 books, last I checked). It's a great example of what a scientist (economist) did with seemingly random...

    zombie deer

    Because you could have just noted that Fallow deer are not a good representative photo of cervids known to be affected by CWD since there is at least some evidence to suggest they have at least some resistance to the disease. Instead, you used it to try and knock the actual content and...

    Deal Alert!

    Yes, but it's too late to be useful for the spring fishing season on the Missouri. Sometime in May is when I think the Berkley fishing thing is held here in Bismarck. The sport shows are also attended by Scheels, the Bismarck one ended yesterday. Not sure when Minot and Farhole have theirs.

    Nah, he's just trolling. If he is actually that confused, perhaps he should shy away from using anything science and engineering has brought the human race for a week or two. You know, things like modern electronics that are useful for posting on outdoors websites, refrigeration, television...

    zombie deer

    Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anywhere in the article that they called it a white-tailed deer? Are Fallow deer not subject to CWD? FWIW, the article does nothing but state what is already known. CWD is a death sentence to the deer, and there is not yet any evidence it has crossed over...

    Probably best to withhold judgment for now, wait until they are 55 and nearing retirement. I've had a good number of years in both blue and white collar positions, there are positives and negatives with both, but it is more common to be hampered by age-related, or repetitive motion injuries in...

    Drones?

    I think you misspelled "annoyed". Someone decided to fly a drone out to where I was fishing by Fox Island a couple years ago. The damn thing got to within 10 ft of me in my boat. What exactly is the reasonable distance some a-hole can send something in my direction before I am allowed to...

    Get away with it

    Interesting passage in the article: Notably, Hur believed that at trial Biden could come across not only as "sympathetic," but forgetful and not capable of the willfulness required to convict. "We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did...

    Did you really feel the need to tell people it takes "money and resources" to fly around in space? Well, shit. It must be in other countries where they can just use magic fairy dust. WTF?
