    Boat towing question

    I am pretty sure you can't put an engine and trailer on that boat for 600 lbs. Probably closer to 900 lbs, at least. Then add in another 400 lbs for fuel, batteries, and gear. That being said, if I was only pulling to a local, well maintained ramp, would I consider it. Even then I think...

    Registration Question

    It's been 14 yrs since I bought a boat and trailer in Minnetucky, but I never did get any such notice from them. I just removed the MN license plate. Note, the boat has never again been in that communal atmosphere.

    New Here Looking to Learn

    Oh, and lest we forget. There are a few tiger muskie and pure muskies in a handful of our lakes as well. Mostly the smaller lakes, but Audubon should be producing some decent sized fish pretty soon. And yes, I do know a few people who chase pike with fly rods. Mostly on our smaller lakes though.

    New Here Looking to Learn

    Pike are plentiful here, both Sakakawea and Devils Lake offer great pike fishing, Oahe might be a half step behind them. Since it's our state fish, you can find them in just about every body of water across ND. Good luck and enjoy the chase.

    Technology in the outdoors- where is the line?

    You know you can just pour some water on the ice, then set your puck on the ice to see what's below you, right? At least, it works with my old FL-8.

    I got wood! Need custom stock built

    What you are likely to get is a 99% inletted stock from what I recall a few years ago. That percentage suggests it should only take an hour or two to finish sanding/carving out the final product. Not true, I had quite a few hours invested in my 25-06's wood by the time I got it to where I...

    Dumb Ass

    This is not correct, not proud at this point, but in my much younger years I used to smash 22 rounds with a ballpeen hammer, or use a vice grip to trigger the rimfire. All discharged the lead out the end of the brass. Derp...

    Salmon?

    It was caught on a jig and a minnow in about 4 ft of water near Fox Island in Bismarck. Oddly, I don't think I heard of any being caught this past spring, even though I would have thought the remaining Atlantics would have been charging upriver again last March/April. Then again, how many of us...

    beer and horns

    That would be a strong negative, it's been several years.

    Hey you older Lake Audubon fans...

    LOL. I thought the 1971 report was a fun read. Especially the anecdotes on the violations, etc. Fined $100 for missing a swan because the judge didn't want to reward the guy for being a lousy shot. Hah hah hah... Also, I didn't realize leafy spurge was that much of a problem in the early...

    beer and horns

    Shitty beer and premature ejaculation. - - - Updated - - - p.s. I now know just as many guys that drink White Claws as I do PBR. WTF? On both counts.

    Memory foam mattress nightmare

    After spending four in the Corps, I am pretty sure I've fallen asleep standing up, or at least propped up. And on some really shitty mattresses in a handful of different countries. As far as heat buildup, my only suggestion is to find a good sobakawa (buckwheat) pillow. I had one for years...

    Lake Ice...Thin to Thick

    Back when I lived in GF there were a number of cold, cold winters. Like that of 96-97. When out in the middle of the lake by Hay Bale Bay or Black Tiger, you'd barely get through with a single extension on my old Jiffy. BUT, if you nestled up next to the trees for the evening bite you could...

    Shingle~

    Hmmm, I never had Chicken Pox as a kid. So I got the varicella vaccine when I first heard about it in the mid-90s. I wonder if I'm still capable of getting shingles, or if I need to get the vaccine. I suppose that should be a point of discussion between the doc and I when I get my annual checkup.

    Hah, just noted where BigV is located. I tend to forget that you aren't our only SD representative on here.

    muzzleloader

    Kurtr, Yeah, no shooting mule deer bucks up here with a ML, unless you are willing to use it as your weapon of choice during rifle season. I still really like the primitive stuff, especially using black powder. I get a kick out of the sparks, flame, and smoke.
