    Braided line

    I use around 15 lb test mostly on my cranking rods. Yes, I retrieve most of the snagged cranks, but they often run very poorly afterwards and are problematic in trying to re-calibrate their running.

    Making ice

    I just came back to Bismarck from a meeting at the casino. There were at least two boats on the river, one was just south of Eckroths, the other was a few miles north of there. Temp on the pickup read 50 degrees.

    Sharpening stone?

    I just cleaned some of my stones using WD-40 and steel wool. It cleaned them up amazingly easy.

    New dog disease?

    Just a few days ago a good friend mentioned one of his dogs had something weird going on with a cough, etc. So, this article caught my attention...

    Oregon conservation

    According to your article, the closures are to motorized vehicles, which I understand it would allow foot traffic. WMAs and large chunks of the National Grasslands are closed to motorized vehicles all year long with the exception of maintained county, state, and federal roads. I am...

    Oregon conservation

    In ND, we call those lands closed to motor vehicles Wildlife Management Areas, Little Missouri National Grasslands, and Sheyenne National Grasslands. To name a few. Efforts to keep people from harassing wildlife with vehicles is not just an Oregon thing.

    NFL News (Vikings)

    I think we are now seeing why so many coaches/teams kept passing on the guy. He's an absolute interception machine. The Chicago defensive backs were staring him down the whole game to figure out where he was going to throw it. Absolutely horrible performance in the passing game. The...

    New Here, Advice on Missouri

    Ah yes, they do have a pretty interesting trout stocking program. There are places like the Turtle River at Turtle River State Park that they stock some really nice sized rainbows in late spring. Kind of an odd opportunity given where that is located, but yeah...lots of small ponds across the...

    Nice fish, stating the obvious here, but in warmer weather I would fish closer to the dam to find cooler water. That's not a YOY fish you are holding there, it had to have over-summered somewhere, and my guess is within 10-15 miles of the tailrace.

    2023 ND Deer Rifle Season

    Nowadays, that appears to be very true as CRP payments have not kept up with cash rent, or profit from farming it. There was a time though where CRP was very competitive.

    2023 ND Deer Rifle Season

    Some will certainly be re-enrolled, but the amount of re-enrollment or new enrollment will depend on the farm bill and its provisions for CRP, if I understand things correctly. Once the new farm bill gets passed, the requirements for CRP will get announced and CRP acres in ND will either go up...

    Making ice

    It's a partial screen capture of the Climate Prediction Center's interactive webpage. Basically, it's suggesting we have an above normal chance for above normal temperatures going into December. With a slightly above normal chance for precip.

    New Here, Advice on Missouri

    The top of the eddy, where the water is the fastest, was hotter than heck for me one summer just north of the Stanton ramp for trout. Yes, I was pulling cranks and was within spitting distance of the shore a lot of the time. But it seemed they were in a very tight spot of fast water near the...

    headlight upgrade

    After rereading my post, what I meant to say is that about 20% of the vehicles have been failing to dim their headlights lately. I have no idea what percentage that is of the jackasses on the road, but I would assume it's not quite 100% of the jackasses on the road, because there's always...

    headlight upgrade

    I have had the great pleasure of quite a few miles on the road after dark lately. LED's are very bright and at least anecdotally around 20% of the jackasses on the road are too lazy to dim their headlights.

    NFL News (Vikings)

    Let's be real here. They only put geographic designations on professional sports teams to get incredible tax breaks from the local goobers. Ravens. Texans, Rams, Rams, Raiders, Raiders, Raiders, Cardinals are just those I can remember offhand moving to make more money. Only when Cleveland...

    Ford F250 - 7.3 vs. 6.7

    I know the feeling about buying used. I've been burned before as well and hate that aspect of it. I now find myself casually back into the used vehicle market to alleviate the vehicle shortage I occasionally have with a pair of teens.

    Auto accidents caused by Deer

    This is correct. I had to give a sworn affidavit once to help settle a lawsuit over a damn simmental bull that just wouldn't stay in the fence after it went through the windshield of a Ford Pinto. I had fixed that fence several times that summer, but that damn bull just kept pushing his way...
