    Juneberrys

    Juneberries at my place were in bloom a few days ago, up to a week ago. The berries are already being set. Look down in wooded draws (small thickets) near streams and rivers. If'n you've been to Indian Hills, Juneberries were/are common along the road going out to the low-water ramp area. So...

    Deer are Jerks

    I have not yet had a serious bump with a deer, but I have hit a horse...does that count? A frigging horse impact at something approaching modern speed limits is quite the screw-up when driving a 1977 Ford and it's grille guard. My friend who was on the passenger side got knocked out as the...

    UTV / Side by Side

    I have a 2013 Pioneer. Awesomely dependable, not very sexy though. There are three things I don't like about my Pioneer. 1. If you're a bigger guy, it's a little tight getting in behind the wheel. 2. The older Pioneers are locked axles. Tough on the grass when offroad, tough on the tires...

    A lost fisherman on the Missouri river

    Deepest water in the area is a little over 20 ft, current at the max is about 2 mph with LOTS of slower water. There are lots of eddy's and slackwater areas. I'd contact NDDES to ask for any latest aerial photos and analyze them for the noted eddy's and slackwater areas. Perhaps Civil Air...

    Plastic Shrink Wrap

    I could be wrong, but is an archery target filled with heat sensitive plastic a good idea? The archery target I have sucks donkey balls. The reason for it being so hateful is how badly my arrows stick in the damn thing. It's a layered "block" style with the layers being a soft plastic foam...

    A lost fisherman on the Missouri river

    I'm not going to lie, falling in out of the bow of my Fisherman came to mind when I bought my last two trolling motors (one was actually an upgrade). I wear my IPilot remote control around my neck every time I am in the boat. Now with the ulterra, I can actually get the motor to deploy and...

    No Muskrats?

    Yeah, I don't know which virus the NDGF referenced when talking about muskrats a few years ago, but they said the rat population has always been cyclical with respect to numbers due to disease outbreaks. I'd have thought they would have rebounded by now so there may be another issue I am not...

    Vasaline and Chapped Lips

    You fags don't drink enough beer while fishing! Beer will keep them wet. Either that, or like Guy said, use chapstick with a sunscreen. That too works on my NA days.

    Knife birthday gist ideas/help please

    Yeah, go to Scheels and see what they have for high end filet knives. Then take said knife to a trophy shop and have them engrave whatever you want on it.

    The soil conservation districts get a lot of their stuff through Lincoln-Oakes nursery here in Bismarck. They have their sale here soon. http://lincolnoakes.com/stock/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=12

    Fishing toon

    Yes, especially in the damn winds that have been around here just about every time the toon has hit the water. Near as I can tell, it trolls at about 2.4-2.7 mph with no wind. A little too fast for spinners, but I can live with that while pulling cranks. It gets down to about 1.1-1.2 mph when...

    A lost fisherman on the Missouri river

    Yeah, saw this earlier on the Tribune. Another sad day.

    pines for deer bedding area

    Colorado blue spruce and Black Hills spruce do well up here. You will most likely get some deer rubbing on them and they may even browse them a bit, but the size you want to plant totally depends on your budget. If I was doing a small planting of like twenty, I'd probably try to find a deal on...

    Fishing toon

    I do indeed like the toon, it is a real pleasure to drive. Obviously, it is not as nimble as my Fisherman, but it's pretty responsive. I have no doubt that you'd be able to put 5-6 people on my toon and pull a tube with a couple people on it with ease. Maybe if I up-pitched my current 13...

    Jig weight vrs bb weight

    Let us not forget that line diameter/brand/style along with quality of fishing pole all play significant roles in determining if a given person can effectively feel bottom, etc. It's not just speed and weight.

    Good ol' fishing stories (Please share your)

    True as it is, it made me chuckle as well. It was just another of those "days" that I have. I've mellowed with time and little inconsequential crap like this just doesn't get my too wound up.

    Good ol' fishing stories (Please share your)

    Hah hah, as proof of JohnR's estimate on what it costs to own a boat, I had totally purged this one from the memory banks. $2k a year would now appear to be cheap for owning a boat!

    Murphy's Law of horticulture

    Tordon RTU is one of the non-restricted use variants and is the one intended for killing of trees. http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/metiram-propoxur/picloram-ext.html

    Murphy's Law of horticulture

    Dean, Load a syringe with glyphosate. After you gut a twig off, inject a little glyphosate into the stump. That should help tame the roots from sending more volunteers up. SDMF, yes. Tordon will put the hurt to pretty much all trees in the area. So spraying of the suckers would suggest...

    What would you recommend?

    Hah hah, I am closing in on that with my new toon in the first month after purchase as I put in the add-ons! Otherwise, I would say that the majority of ownership costs in the newer boats involve direct usage costs (gas, bait, beer, etc) the maintenance costs on my old Lund is probably closer...
