    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    Despite their tendency to bounce off deer, I bought a 243 Tikka for my son and daughter to use a couple years ago. Nice little rifle that has take a few deer already. My daughter was 11 this fall and about 85 lbs when she shot her first deer. One shot and done at about 120 yds. I'm just about...

    MDU Retires

    Am I wrong in thinking that the natural gas powerplants still run a steam turbine? Which means that while the volume may change, there will still be a cold water intake and a warm water outlet.

    Ground/Soil conditions under the snow question.

    Wirehair, interesting...I live east of Lincoln and I can't make a divot this year if I tried. Even bent the hell out of a 3-point pin yesterday trying to move some virgin snow with the blade on the back of my tractor. On the sand of Fox Island, can't say I'm surprised you can do some lawn...

    Initiated Measure Approval???

    Probably because it gives them a chance to tell the ND voters that approved a constitutional change that they won't implement it. The examples of this are the initiated measures for medical marijuana and the ethics panel. The State legislature is opposed to MM because they are a bunch of old...

    Ground/Soil conditions under the snow question.

    I was wondering if you all could help me get an understanding for just how hard frozen the ground is in your area this year compared to your historical observations? In particular, the kinds of observations that are of use to me are: 1. Is there a layer of ice on top of the ground under virgin...

    Initiated Measure Approval???

    I think what we need are simply better written initiated measures. Perhaps it would be better if they had some more hurdles and help from the State in the original drafting of an initiated measure. I don't think even as bad as some of the measures have been, that I could support a proposed...

    3 bank charger

    Not really sure why other than I like to see the batteries matched. I have a 24V bowmount, so a 2-bank charger takes care of them and of course, they should be equally drawn down when I plug in the boat. Whereas the starting battery should, at most, need to just be topped off. I have no...

    3 bank charger

    I kind of prefer to not charge my trolling batteries and the starting battery off of the same charger. This is actually easy to do by adding a single bank charger for the starting battery and using an electrical adapter that sends power to both chargers. That being said, I have had good luck...

    Best time of year to buy a new pickup?

    I've seen articles saying the new 2020 F250 is due out around Aug or Sept. That should make Sept-Nov a good time to buy the 2019 version.

    NDDOT land question

    Here's the difference. If the govt pays for an easement, it is land still owned by the adjacent landowner. If the State of Feds actually purchased the land, it is open to hunting. There is NO passage in ND law that allows an adjoining landowner to post land that does NOT belong to them.

    NDDOT land question

    There are lots of acres of land in ND that are owned by the state for roadways that are legally open to hunting even if it is not necessarily the wisest of places to hunt.

    tractor/ attachment gear box

    Ah, glad it worked out for ya. Now that you have a welder, if the gearbox goes out again...you can put just about any old gear box in there. :cool:

    The hitch in without a trailer has never become law, at least not ND State law.

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    Obi, you bring up a great point. Land ownership changes all year long. Quite a few years ago now, but I had access to hunt some premium elk land on the opening weekend of 2005. Yep, opening weekend only because it was changing hands officially on Monday to a butthead that has more money than...
