    Devils Lake Level Dilemma

    Almost, but it was pre-Red River of the North existence when the Missouri River turned north just west of Williston and went on up into Canada. The glaciers are what changed the path of the Missouri into a southern draining river. They kind of reset many of our geologic features.

    MPG towing the boat

    It's not just a Tundra thing, it's a Toyota thing. I drive a 4Runner as my kid hauler and it's fuel efficiency is below that of the equivalent GM and Ford options. Its dependability has been excellent though, a little over 60k miles in 4 years and she's not seen the shop for anything other...

    MPG towing the boat

    I think the "glass is half full" crew remember the mileage better on days they had a good tailwind; whereas the "glass is half empty" guys remember the days where they pull a sail into our gentle breezes.

    Moles

    I don't know if it's moles, voles, deer mice, meadow jumping mouse, or squirrels, but I am getting really fricking tired of varmints eating the damn wiring of my stuff. Couple years ago the damn UTV had some wires chewed off, and now my trap thrower has had the power cord stripped off its...

    MPG towing the boat

    09 F250 with the 6.4L, unchipped. 12.8 mpg pulling boat, no matter the conditions, about 12 even pulling the pontoon, but have seen it as low as about 11 mpg in the wind and at higher than recommended speeds.

    Wildlife

    Yep, been seeing more does out and about in the afternoon lately, most likely out on their milk runs to the young'uns. My resident geese hatched out about 3 weeks ago. I'm thinking the fox has claimed a meal or two though, we're down a few goslings.

    Line counters

    After running my Daiwa reels most of the past couple weeks, I grabbed a rod out of my collection with a Scheels (Okuma made) reel of the same size, etc for today's outing. No fugging comparison, the Scheels reel annoyed me most of the damn day as the kids used the Daiwa reels. F&ck Okuma. I...

    Lost wheel- Please Help!

    I lost a rear wheel on a 1979 pickup one time. That sucker went well over a mile and a half through the Missouri Breaks east of Williston. Ended up finding it only by luck, and had to roll the SOB a half mile up through a rough pasture. Before it found it's resting place it had gone through a...

    lake sak @ newtown

    I'd head north and fish the Little Knife Bay area, Beacon Island, and all the points north of the bridge on the east side. Start in about 10-12 ft of water but be sure to venture over into 6-7 ft of water often to find out where they are foraging.

    Morel Mushroom

    All I know is I saw a pic on a local FB page where a guy had tables and tables covered in morel shrooms. Hundreds and hundreds of them, I don't hunt morel but even I was impressed by his efforts and rewards.

    Pecker pants bikers.....

    I love how just about all threads have a sharp turn in them, it's like having your kids give you directions. Overall though, I follow the rule of bigger bumpers. If your bumper is bigger than mine, I don't give a shit what the law says because I want to avoid hospital visits as much as possible.

    Zero Turn Recommendation

    Reseed your lawn to the short buffalo grass. Problem solved. I mow about 3-4 times a year, and haven't really thought about getting my mower out of the barn yet.

    Keeping minnows more than 1 day

    Note...minnows don't like rapid water temp changes. So get it cold and keep it there.

    Keeping minnows more than 1 day

    The bottom line for minnow survival is cold water. Cold water has a much greater ability to hold oxygen, or diffuse it in even when minnows are present. So if you want to keep minnows alive while camping, I suggest an insulated minnow bucket with a battery operated aerator. Or, quite...

    Spruce tree issues????

    I've used systemic to combat birch borers before, it's kinda like renting your tree. With the number and size of my pines and spruces, systemic would be quite expensive.

    Spruce tree issues????

    Ok, so next dumb question. I have backpack, handheld, and a 15 gallon spot sprayer. None of which are likely to reach very far up a 30+ ft tall tree. So what's a good sprayer for reaching up to the tops of trees? - - - Updated - - - I guess my spot sprayer is supposed to almost reach 30 ft...
