    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    First off, congrats on getting the tag. I only know one person who has done this hunt and I don't recall the details. Secondly, this would seem to be a great opportunity for a freezer on a trailer type of hunt. This is where you simply grab a just-large-enough freezer, strap it to a trailer...

    Pontoons for fishing?

    I still really enjoy fishing with my Toon. 22 ft with a 150 Merc on it along and an 80 lb Ulterra. While I overall love fishing on the Toon because it's kind of like fishing in your living room, there are a few things that could be better. 1. Mine's a 2013 model, so well before they...

    Homemade catfish bait

    I had never actually read that section of the rule book. Huh, the outfit I commercial fished for occasionally used grain as an attractant for carp. Not that I'd use grains to attract carp nowadays, but it worked well. Hint, hint you bowanglers.

    I HATE coyotes!!!!

    The story actually says "not in a suitable position". I interpreted this as meaning they weren't excited to open fire on it in town.

    Flood Watch 2023

    I'm pretty sure there are easier ways to make a living.

    A little Local History

    Thanks for the vid, Lunk. I don't know that I knew any of the players, although I've likely met at least a few of them. Some of their kids though were classmates of mine.

    Sump pumps/pits, discharge hoses, etc.

    I was just thinking, what the hell is a toad doing in there. U guys in the Valley get all the good stuff.

    Instead of College

    Yep, I try to involve the kids (boy and girl) in ordinary home repairs/updates. Even if they don't want to...heh, heh, heh.

    Solar Farm

    I've seen the big solar farms south of Vegas. Pretty sure I wouldn't want one as my neighbor. But solar panel roofing? That I might be talked into, someday. If it weren't for those fugging terrorists, we'd increasingly be running off of electricity generated through low-grade radioactive...

    Instead of College

    Hard to disagree with this. I now work with people who mostly knew what they wanted to do ever since they were little kids to young teens. This helped them be focused on getting the education needed for their career. Financially, it's hard to argue against it when coworkers of the same age...

    Hazelton Boat ramp

    That amount of siltation in one year seems fairly unreasonable given it's pretty lake-like down there.

    Instead of College

    I don't know how much I agree with needing welding or carpentry as required classes, but lots of schools have a Vocational Education program where such things are electives. New Town had a pretty good Vo-Ag, Meat Cutting, and Mechanics set of classes back in the 80s and 90s. I took both Vo-Ag...

    Hazelton Boat ramp

    This is also true, the Corps was "balancing the river" over much of the winter.

    Hazelton Boat ramp

    This would appear to be the correct interpretation of what's transpired. There was a very brief period of high water at Williston, but that was mostly ice messing with the stage as the Yellowstone shed its ice load. The Milk River is currently running near its record out in Montana, but that...

    Population Explosion of Canadian "Super Pigs" Could Spread Into the Northern U.S.

    I am going to hazard a guess it doesn't change their current policies.

    Newbie on Missouri Bismarck

    Yes, that would be the Knife. Nothing like dodging icebergs!

    zero turn recommendations

    The D170 uses the same transmission and engine as MTDs. I am guessing the PTO clutch, tires, and ignition switch are also available on a large number of other colored machines. Is it the deer emblem on the steering wheel where we draw the line?

    zero turn recommendations

    The Lowes JD are at a minimum MTD-like machines. I had a D170 for about 10 years. When I wrecked the transmission in it, I found out it was using the same engine and transmissions as MTD. It was an ok mower overall, I just abused the heck out of it.

    Buying gold and silver.

    I would tend to agree with this statement for a couple of reasons, and strongly disagree for one reason. Firstly, I can't think of a single parcel of land that was purchased and then resold for a lesser amount when it comes to agricultural land or hunting lands. I'm sure there are examples of...
