    Canada geese on Metigoshe

    I have 2-3 mated pairs in my backyard pond each summer. We've reached a mutual understanding. They can chase and harass the dog, but they put their whole family in peril if they come after me.

    Brush Gun

    shorts, I think it's safe to say that there are shitbirds in every state. We have road hunters, MN has sound shots. Neither are great ideas.

    Bigger Walleye Tactics

    Right, one needs to trade quantity for quality as a golden rule. Go where the meat anglers are not and try different tactics. I don't know the biologic reasons walleye (and other species) separate themselves at times, but it's certainly something that the better tourney anglers have used to...

    Tinnitus

    I too feel lucky. I wasn't given ear plugs when I was a kid driving the old 2-cylinder John Deere tractors. As I got into my later teens and 20s, I started wearing ear protection as a rule when I drove tractors, ran grinders, etc. I get the occasional round of ringing in my ears, but it is...

    2 stroke vs. 4 stroke

    And we gave millenials a hard time for eating Tide pods. - - - Updated - - - Yep, for some reason I thought you were running a bigger motor.

    2 stroke vs. 4 stroke

    Huh? My 2003 Yamaha 4S is fuel injected. I think they were carbed in the sub 100 HP range until about 2004. But the bigger engines went to fuel injection a few years earlier. Note, I love, love, LOVE that damn motor. As to the original post, I'd think a 17 ft boat with a 75-80 HP motor...

    Radon Mitigation

    It's cheaper, that's all. One hole in a wall vs hole in wall, hole in ceiling, and hole in roof.

    Glass Bedding

    I too prefer a bedded action with free floated barrel. Mostly because I had the distinct pleasure of observing a wandering POI on a rifle that had a hairline crack in the forend of the stock. As the barrel heated up it seemed to get some sort of pressure from the stock and while round #1 was...

    No till food plot

    I am the king of failed roundup, seed and scratch food plots. You simply need a bit of luck when it comes to getting timely rains. But I do know others who have had great luck with them. Roundup ready alfalfa is another option, but I believe the seed is pricey.

    Something seems strange.....

    Skullit nailed it. They can basically name it whatever they want so long as the ND Secretary of State OK's it. You do see a lot of family names in the LLLPs and LLCs, but it's not a requirement.

    Deer Lottery Deadline

    Damnit! I swung for the fence and applied for a muley buck tag = unsuccessful. This breaks my streak of having an antlered tag going all the way back to 1996.

    Radon Mitigation

    Yep, seal that interior sump and at a minimum use the exterior one as a chimney. If that doesn't lower it enough, then install a small fan and exhaust pipe to one of the sumps to put a slight draw on the vapors coming from the ground. That would be the order of steps I'd take.

    Radon Mitigation

    One last thing, I leave my home's furnace fan on 24/7. I figure that has to help keep the air moving throughout the house, and since the dog is in and out all day, I get plenty of fresh air introduced during the course of the day.

    Radon Mitigation

    Actually, if you can "seal" off the sump that is connected to the drain tiling and vent it out of the house, that would be my suggestion. One has to get a little inventive to actually put an underpressure on the drain tile using the sump pit, but it can be done. The advantage to doing so is...

    Radon Mitigation

    Are you possibly getting dumber by the fugging day? Radon is a serious health concern because it's a radioactive by-product of uranium's decay. Levels above 4 picocuries is above the acceptable level. There was a 20-something fella in the Jamestown area that died of lung cancer after having...

    Cross Ranch State Park

    Growing up in the New Town area, I suppose I've caught a dozen cats (and pike) in the 19 lb range, but I've never landed one over 20 lbs. If I did, I released it without knowing. Lots of eater cats can be had in the right areas, and since Sak is cooler than the Red, they always taste great. -...

    Cross Ranch State Park

    Sak does indeed hold trophy cats. One needs to start at Little Knife Bay and work your way west to find them. And find them you shall. A FROG under a bobber does wonders.

    Magnet Fishing

    Your intuition and imagination have failed you. I suggest starting over with Tarot cards.

    boat trailer tires

    Right, I live near Bismarck and fish some 60 times a year, at a minimum. In the spring those trips are fairly short, about 50 mile roundtrip. By the end of summer I am doing 170 mile round trips on average. So I figure I'm in the range of 6k miles a year on my trailer tires. If you smack a...
