    DL recreational center Vote NO!

    I have no dog in this fight but it seems like communities rarely regret building these types of things. Can't argue with trying to get the most bang for the buck though.

    How does one get their hands on one of these snooties?

    March Blizzards

    Seems like this thing is kind of moving north and east? Bismarck now forecast in some model to only get a couple inches of snow, heaviest amounts in the Red River Valley? http://www.kfyrtv.com/weather/

    Protecting Schools

    Personally I am not a fan of arming the teachers, and I'm a teacher. We have many responsibilities in the classroom and I don't think armed security should be one of them although I think I could handle it. One slip-up from some teacher somewhere in the country where a shot is fired on someone...

    Protecting Schools

    Only problem I see with the monitored entrance idea is that many schools, especially high schools, have many entrance points. Yeah, there might only be one that's unlocked during the day but it wouldn't be hard for them to prop a door open.

    March Blizzards

    Seems snow does wonders for runoff/filling up sloughs/lakes. Definitely will need spring rains as well to recharge the soil.

    March Blizzards

    As much as I'd like it to be spring; 1-2 feet of wet snow would be a great thing for most of ND.

    time to pay the nc2a athletes???

    Problem is they don't have much for other options since the NBA won't let them in until they're 19. Seems easy enough; what's the limit though? It's about to the point where the big-time schools should just be in their own division and allowed to do whatever they want as it's basically like...

    time to pay the nc2a athletes???

    I'm with most that college athletes should be paid with a scholarship. However, that is probably a fairy tale ideal at this point for the largest 40-50 schools. It's hard to argue that the athletes shouldn't be paid when the coaches and administrators are making millions. Not sure how to fix...

    Pheasant Politics

    Kind of figured this would turn into a filibuster by the google/cut & paste master. Yes, we get it. You can find lots of examples of people getting upset with the government. So I guess conservation programs should cease to exist.

    Pheasant Politics

    From what I've read many times over SD is no different than ND when it comes to recent habitat loss; possibly worse.

    Pheasant Politics

    Lots of good points. I too cringe a little when habitat and economic development are thrown together but I guess that's inevitable. Gotta be careful that programs aren't set up just to benefit fee hunting. I wish our PLOTS program had a lot more money to play with to not only enroll acres but...

    Pheasant Politics

    I'm not much for politics, but an interesting article nonetheless. I'd be in favor of an increase to the habitat stamp in ND. SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — It's a Republican rooster battle. South Dakota gubernatorial candidates Marty Jackley and Kristi Noem revealed over the weekend detailed...

    Cordless Fillet Knives

    Been nothing but impressed with my Rapala Lithium Ion; had it for two years and works as good as the day I bought it.

    WTF is wrong with kids these days

    As a teacher I'd agree with parenting side. I haven't been around long enough to say how things were 20+ years ago but I can say with pretty solid certainty that discipline is much different now, some for the better some for the worse. You practically need a rock solid court case in order to...

    Considering New Trolling Motor

    I have a 55lb Terrova on a 16 foot alumacraft classic, which is not what I would consider a deep V. It's enough but windy days are a challenge to stay in a spot or to move upwind. An 80 definitely wouldn't hurt and the price bump (1500 vs. 1750) isn't huge, especially considering it'll last...

    Go to Perch/Walleye lures

    The go to rod thread got me thinking...what are your favorite lures for perch or walleyes through the ice?

    Here Fishy Fishy!

    Crown butte is pretty good for panfish action, unlikely you'll catch much of keeping size though. River/Beaver bay is really about the only option within 50-60 miles of town (big reason why there's 100 permanents out there).

    Last weekend for roosters

    Wasn't a bad season considering the bird numbers/reports coming in. Seemed where there was decent cover, the bird numbers were fairly normal. Biggest issue is we've lost a lot of cover. Hunted them before the NR rush in October and did okay, and then didn't hit them much until after deer...

    Honkers

    Yeah I'm fairly certain ND never had a cap lower than 30k, but I wasn't around in the 70s or 80s so there's a chance I'm wrong. If I remember correctly the trend over the last 40-50 years is that resident waterfowl hunter numbers have declined significantly while NR have increased...
