    Lion Arrowed

    The problem with mountain lion dinner is the same as it is for bear. Parasites! They are known to carry a lot of worms, which they get from their own diet. Tapeworms and trichinosis are quite common.

    temps for hanging deer

    I think the worst I had ever witnessed was a suburban at Cabela's in East Grand Forks about 20 years ago. They had a couple deer strapped to the top, fully skinned out and covered in 300+ miles of road grime. If I remember correctly, there was some reason I thought they were taken in MT and...

    M1, yea or nay?

    We seem to have a never-ending supply of well intentioned, but poorly worded measures in ND.

    temps for hanging deer

    This begs the question of hide on, or hide off. So long as the deer isn't all shot up, I like leaving the hide on as it protects the meat from drying out. Plus, the skin is a natural defense against bacterial growth on the meat. That being said, I've known a deer or two that hung around in...

    Jury duty

    Been called 5 or 6 times, have had to serve twice. I agree, the process is interesting. It's all a part of being an American!

    M4, yea or nay?

    Am I the only vet who gets embarrassed every time I get a "thank you" for serving? Seriously, we did/do it because of our own reasons, not because I wanted a discount on my license plates (note, if I remember correctly, personalized veteran plates are the most expensive). I'd like to think our...

    Moose Hide

    I have taken a few deer hides to the taxidermist to get tanned the past few years. A doe hide costs $120, and if I remember correctly a buck hide costs $150. So to get a moose done (it's on the square footage) it would probably be around $400 at a local taxidermist and it takes about 7-8...

    M2, yea or nay?

    It wasn't the ID that was being challenged at the SCOTUS, it was the requirement that people have a physical address for mail delivery and not a PO Box. Many rural residents do not have rural mail delivery, hence they get their mail at the Post Office in a PO Box. The challenge was that this...

    Surface Cracks in Livewell???

    Hey, I didn't suggest he needed really big ones. 1/4 inch should do the trick.

    Surface Cracks in Livewell???

    I always heard if something gets a crack in it, that you should use a small drill to punch a hole at the ends of the crack to keep it from spreading. Something to consider.

    Ariens snow blower??

    As I see it, you can go faster than a rabbit, but not as slow as a tortoise? Looks too fast for me.

    binocs & glasses...

    I think SDMF is right, look for a pair with an eye relief that works for you. And maybe even more important, look for a pair that the eye relief CHANGE between extended cups and shortened cups. Perhaps the worst pair I have for change in relief are my...umm, all of them. I would love to find...

    Dog Bed question

    My current GSP and the Weim that used to live with me were tough on beds/blankets. So they went a while without. And now the GSP (the one I still have) kicks blankets and beds out of his crate and into his pen. I actually have to tell the SOB to go lay on his pillow when he has muddy feet...

    Did you know?

    I am guessing the same as the youth deer tags, if so...they were kind of a bugger to get separated from the backing paper. Otherwise, it's a good call on NDGF's behalf. There were years where I had to carry at least two certificates because of the number of required stamps that needed to be...

    what's a good spur length on a turkey?

    I don't have one. But what has worked really well a couple of times is to put skinned breasts in an oven bag with whatever seasoning/marinade you prefer and bake them. They tend to not dry out that way and cooking them slowly will let them not be as tough as they can otherwise turn out. They...

    what's a good spur length on a turkey?

    Quite a few years ago I took my good friend's dad out turkey hunting with me in the badlands. I ended up killing a 26-28 lb tom, and my ex took one of about the same size. My friend's dad asked if he could take the foot with him back to NC. I was like "wtf, but of course" because I didn't...

    Boat trailer issue.

    Fish only at boat ramps where the line is 5 Minot'ers deep and your hubs will have plenty of time to cool before you get them wet. Sorry, I just had to pick on someone! - - - Updated - - - Or Fargan's. There, that should suffice in pissing off someone. I must be bored with the damn weather.

    Anyone seeing any roosters?

    Hell ya, especially if it's a golden eagle. I've always admired that badass of the sky!
