    EHD in Western ND

    If someone quits applying simply because the tags have gotten more scarce, then they just weren't cut out to be a hunter. When I first started applying for a deer tag back in the early 80s, there weren't enough tags to go around and you had a legitimate chance of not getting a tag. And here I...

    Is it immoral to drive an electric vehicle?

    What SDMF said. I bet there are plenty of members here who have electric golf carts, I look at a Tesla as nothing but an overgrown golf cart. When one fits my needs, I'll own it. Until then there will be no bullying of me into altering/cramping my lifestyle to make someone else's delusions my...

    Sea Run Brook Trout

    While I am a dyed in the wool walleye fan, I can understand and appreciate the diverse opportunities we have here in ND. Within 60 minutes of Bismarck I can find walleye, pike, LM and SM bass, trout, muskies, perch, bluegill, or catfish and if I want to go up to 2 hrs away from home I can add...

    Audubon transition?

    The bottom line for Sak (including Audubon) and Oahe is that the fisheries people have always known that their time as a premiere walleye fishery is going to be limited. Shoreline erosion continues to push sediment out into the shallow waters which makes them even more shallow and eventually...

    Drone Laws - ND

    Right, you can use a dog to aide you in the finding/retrieval of a wounded/downed deer. But not in the actual hunt for said deer. The sticky part, of course, is what if said deer is only wounded and gets up once the dog helps you find it. Arguably, you shouldn't be armed and in position to...

    trolling motor speeds

    Yeah, I'd have to think it is most certainly underperforming. I run a 24V, 80 LB Ulterra on a 17.5 ft Lund Fisherman. I get up to 4 mph with it on there under the calm conditions. I also use that same 80 lb motor on my 22 ft tritoon and it pushes that well over 2.5 mph. The toon in...

    The Honeystead Bee keeper/swarm catcher Att: Lycan

    I saw that earlier today and had to give a coworker who's from Californiastan a fair amount of grief over this. So do we now call a large gathering of bees a school?

    The official I Did That scavenger hunt

    Yep, still operating, but investors who owned stock in Whiting lost an awful lot of money when they went through bankruptcy. It will be interesting to see how well they operate once their merger with Oasis comes this fall. Both seemed to have come out of bankruptcy with a quite a bit more...

    Is our food source in jeopardy?

    While I still see an occasional empty spot on the shelf for some odd commodity, by and large the stores around Bismarck have been well stocked ever since they figured out the TP shortage. Prices though are a different topic. It's getting kind of spendy to refill the cupboards at home.

    The official I Did That scavenger hunt

    Absolutely true, but a large number of the smaller companies that were only worth $2-8 billion went under during the previous administration. Whiting, Oasis, and Denbury all declared bankruptcy under Trump. Companies like BP, Shell, Conoco and Exxon were able to weather the low oil prices of...

    I am going to assume you don't pay much attention to the stock market.

    I can probably supply some tips on how to not catch fish...if'n you're really struggling with it.

    Propping a F70 - 17 foot tiller

    I have a feeling your hole shot would really suffer if you go up 2 inches in pitch and 5/8 of an inch in diameter. You should lose 150-200 RPMs for each inch increase in pitch, and I'd guess you'd also lose another 150 RPMs because of diameter. Will it push the boat? Sure, but that's an awful...

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    I don't think I can be any help, for while I also like using plastics every now and then, live bait still puts more fish in my boat than plastics.

    Steve Myers and his waterpowered car

    The stories of 80-120 mpg carbs have been around forever. This may be one of the more realistic in expectations of a miracle that I've heard. Seems to kind of put it in the range of throttle body-based fuel injection seen in the early 80s. I had an 83 Cougar at one point that ran the throttle...

    Steve Myers and his waterpowered car

    LOL, I think this sums it up nicely: "The Judge then issued his verdict, in which he decreed that the funds received by Meyer had been stolen by deception (“gross and egregious fraud”), and he was sentenced to return it to investors. "

    Deer Ticks/ND?

    I just read an article on Moose ticks and how they were responsible for around a 90% death rate in young moose out in Maine. I guess an adult moose can host upwards of 50,000 damn ticks at a time. Frigging yuck! - - - Updated - - - https://www.ndhealth.gov/Disease/Tickborne/ Has a map of...

    Who's Ever Doing The Rain Dance.....

    Huh, you're right....on both counts. It's finally been lifted here and my wood pile is too wet to burn. Tried to have a fire last night with the kids and it took quite a bit of effort to keep it burning.
