    Obi, You can always calculate it for yourself.

    Snakebite vaccine for dogs

    Right! I was down at Beaver several weeks ago. Saw a few really large bullsnakes patrolling the shoreline. One of the poor bastards got caught by what i can only refer to as the local hillbilly reps. Sure enough they killed it for no damn reason and then stood around taking pics with the...

    Missouri River rise

    I had a convo with someone early yesterday about the incoming rain. Basically wondering if I was concerned about it. I said, naw....not so long as a 4-6 inch storm doesn't track lengthwise down Sak. Oh for fucks sake!

    People get dumB when it comes to antlers. And yes, not only is that a capitol "b", it's not silent either.

    Missouri River rise

    Without looking, I would guess the equation for the stage-rating curve, which generally goes in the form of "y = mx + b" has been shifted by updating the "b" due to the measurement. This is common, but until someone tells me the physical process by which the river is now losing a couple thousand...

    Missouri River rise

    The flow measurements are all human collected, granted they use a lot of high tech stuff nowadays. Stop referring to it as a "drop" in flow, it's simply within the accuracy of the measurement. There's nothing to be gained by thinking there's actually 3k less cfs in the river, or more for that...

    Missouri River rise

    That is how it's done. You have a tub of known (to a couple of sig figs) volume. How fast it fills is how you calculate inflow. Quite simply, there is not a gage on every tributary. Plus, if it rains right on top of the lake, that too has to be accounted for as it is a direct contributor.

    Missouri River rise

    Yes, just like in 2011, I would expect to see some "settling" of the river stage as it spends time at a given discharge. I have no issues with the advertised discharge values. 5% of 60,000 is 3,000 cfs. I am ok with that, although the techs that collected the measurement would likely be...

    Missouri River rise

    I believe the advertised accuracy of the USGS measurement technique is 5%. Or, it was the last time I checked.

    Huh, mine here in Buleigh are also just starting to turn. They aren't the native ones tho.

    Missouri River rise

    Ah, so it does. The posted image I used is the past 30 days. While it would still seem there's a bit of a leap between the two, yours uses current month (from the 1st to whatever day it's posted), from first of year to now, and from beginning of water year (Oct 1) to now statistics. So they...

    Missouri River rise

    That I can't answer for you, other than this isn't a Great Falls area problem. It's been a Billings problem until last week when Great Falls seemed to get jealous and kick it in gear.

    floaters...

    Yep, there are some dandy logs floating, and some that are neutral buoyant. The latter are scary as hell when you're up on plane.

    Missouri River rise

    You can go to weather.gov/billings and navigate your way to the AHPS page, from there you can click on the precipitation mapping tab and plot it in a number of different ways. You posted snotel's estimate for how much water in the snowpack was left as a percent of normal for that day in...

    Reef Runners?

    They are even more sensitive to running straight if using a snap swivel than a Rapala. I suggest tying directly to them.

    Air rifles

    Yes, and the quality is not what you remember. I shoot a Gamo nowadays. Not a real fan of the one-pump, one-shot variety. It's accurate as hell and at 1200 fps it will put a hole clean through every bunny I've shot. But that single shot thingy is not as fun when shooting gophers. - - -...

    Looking for idea for day trip

    Drove by Van Hook today on my way home from working cattle. There must have been 75 boats in the north part of the arm visible from highway 23. I really regretted taking the 4 wheeler instead of the boat. :mad:

    Snakebite vaccine for dogs

    The local NAVHDA club in Bismarck imported a fella from MT a few years ago to do a snake avoidance clinic. It was pretty damn popular, with everyone but the dogs. I'd do it again if anyone can tell me when and where it's being held.

    Missouri River rise

    That is a legit question. The thing you have to understand with that question though is how much evidence do you need before you start calling for 300, 400, 600 percent of normal over a given time period? It takes quite the set of cajones to walk out on that branch. The bottom line is that...
