    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    I totally concur with you in that the Earth's climate has been evolving/changing ever since the formation of the planet. However, there are numerous examples of where people have indeed impacted things to where we can observe, or at least surmise, changes over time that are human influenced...

    50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

    sl, It's not the floating ice that can be a problem. It's the ice on Greenland and Antarctica. Those are an island and a continent, respectively. As their ice melts, it will most certainly affect sea levels across the planet.

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    I got the text from NDGF earlier today that listed 1,970 tags available this year in 17 units.

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    Well, I'm 56 (not 80) and there were no youth tags at all when I was a kid, you waited until you were 14 and went in the general lottery. The tags for 14 yr old kids were the first to come around, but the lowering of the age requirement to 11 is not 30 yrs, because I am pretty sure it wasn't an...

    Merc 150 4stk 2012ish help

    First of all, two good batteries being used in a 12 volt setup should run that engine for a few hours. Going out on a bit of a limb here, but I'd be checking not only the charging system on the boat since something sure seems to be fried, but I would also check out the onboard charger. It...

    Hybrid Poplars from Hell

    I get it, they grow like a damn weed. I have some that grow 6 ft per year. In that sense you can buy a treeless piece of land and have some shade in just a few years, but every time the wind blows you get limbs galore everywhere! Only thing worse IMHO are willows, and guess what the majority...

    2022 Governors Cup

    OK, so not being a tourney angler, I have a question. Why when you look under the Fish category does one see some teams with 4/4 and some with 5/5? Does ol' Clayton get penalized for past wins?

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    SuppressYourself, I think the reason it's restricted to the youth only season for those under 14 is because they (ND Legislature) didn't want really young hunters (11-13) out doing deer drives, etc as just a member of the hunting party. Rather it was intended to be all about the kid, so...

    Why is the youth deer season so short?

    Well, not that many years ago there were no youth tags, you had to be 14 and apply in the regular deer gun lottery just like everyone else. It was a concession made for people who were willing to put their kids' hunt ahead of their own interests, there is ALWAYS something going on somewhere...

    2,4-D dilution?

    It sucks when you get a whiff of it. Then again, I think you already knew that.

    Piping Mississippi River water west

    Unlike open cropland, green houses have an initial investment in construction and then long-term maintenance costs that exceed that of ordinary cropland. This will always make greenhouses a losing investment because the ordinary shopper cares way more about price of the commodity than they do...

    Piping Mississippi River water west

    I don't know if they are still operational, but there used to be some operations in ND that used greenhouses for growing tomatoes and other veggies. Agriculture is indeed a huge water demand down in our southwest, but it's also a tremendously important part of our food supply. I've been down...

    2,4-D dilution?

    I use a 2.5 gallon backpack sprayer and generally put in 3/4 cup (6 ounces) of the higher concentration ag formulation of 2-4D. It tends to kill whatever I want gone. The harder things to kill, like thistles, absinthe wormwood, and baby's breath get some help from either tordon or MSM...

    Piping Mississippi River water west

    The guy is not very well connected with reality. Desalination is a great tool in the providing of fresh water to people, but last time I checked Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming are too damn far from an ocean to provide drinking water. What is one going to do, pump water from...

    Damnit, LB. You made me look that up.

    Oil wells converted to fresh water wells

    This, as the hydrogeologist on a few wells, this was always my recommended way to go. Pumping rates are as noted above a little conservative by nature, but Johnson has designing a screen and pack combo down to a science. - - - Updated - - - p.s. We need to draft wjschmaltz back to ND so he...

    Piping Mississippi River water west

    While I can understand and sympathize with the idiot, the bottom line is U.S. Federal Marshalls, the FBI, and local law enforcement take a very dim view of dynamiting federal projects. And let's not forget that a coalition of Califukyourself and other states in the desert southwest are...

    Oil wells converted to fresh water wells

    TFX, FWIW, if the problem with the well is indeed the gravel pack and/or screen that is failing, you can certainly drill another well right in the exact same area, within a few feet even. Heck, if the casing is PVC, you could simply drill that right out and set the well at the exact same...

    Oil wells converted to fresh water wells

    TFX, send me a PM with the location of this well, in township, range, and section. Unless your well was an undocumented immigrant, I should be able to find the well log. Maybe it will give me a little more insight as to the geology you're dealing with on the well's performance. Or, if you'd...
