    The Great Escape

    PG, what was in the purple Kool-Aid North American Model of Wildlife Conservation that made you disciples fall so hard? This (NAMWC) North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is more often than not confused with the (NAWCM) North American Wildlife Conservation Model. It's quite a play on...

    The Great Escape

    Ericb said, No...... Those deer in the first post are probably worth $5,000 a piece. (alive) They aren't worth much dead. Kind of like a bunch of pen raised pheasants escape on opening day of pheasant season. Alive they are worth $10 bucks. Not worth much dead. I don't believe the owners would...

    The Great Escape

    You just can't help yourself. :cool: An animals first instinct is flight so the key is to get them acclimated to noises and sights. My dog runs around among them so a coyote isn't going to alarm them much. Motorcycles, tractors, shotguns, they get used to it. I've never had a farmed elk go...

    Unexpected "Icks"

    Partying all night we stopped at Taco Johns. I ordered two soft shell taco's with extra sour cream. Took the first bite and extended my hands all the way. There was a long hair still inside that taco all the way to my mouth hanging full of sour cream. I said to my partner, "hey Harley look at...

    gst and Plainsman

    Everyone needs to knock it off. Having a disagreement over policy is one thing......... Guywhofishes in another thread mentioned supporting properly managed grass. Let's start there. The new Farm Bill is being constructed and there is scuttlebutt about raising the cap on CRP acres. If we...

    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    Grass is tougher than corn and buffalo are tougher than cows and.............why do farmers in the red river valley plant sugar beets instead of grass? Because guywithsweettooth wants it. Consumer demand is a funny thing. Tabaco is subsidized going into the ground and taxed like hell coming out.

    Pheasant opener 2017

    In winter on snow, roosters are colorful/loud and attract. Have watched winged predators (owls/hawks) swoop in on 5 roosters 1 hen and the hen gets whacked every time. It's just easier than getting spurred.

Had sausage for dinner and they mentioned they needed more cats. Went home cleaned birds and loaded cats in cage. Went...

    OTC deer 3pm today now, FYI!

    Not everyone thinks the deer herd should be maintained at the highest level possible. The population peaked between 2003 and 2007. My daughter totaled a car going to town. My son totaled a pickup going home. My wife had damage going to work. And my Ford Ranger was deer magnate with two...

    There is a reason I added that Bobkat posted it. This same discussion happened on FBO and I poked Bobkat about posting it. Holy shit, everyone came out of the woodwork defending his right to do that because he worked his ass off. I concur. KurtR said, Have a neighbor who (pick an excuse)...

    Game & Fish Numbers

    Exactly.....however, I bought some land with CRP on it and tried to convert it to pasture. I sprayed and clipped since 2008 and all I had left was green needle grass and weeds. So I tore the fucker up.

    DirtyMike said, So what is holding you back? Can you operate a shovel or hoe, carry three gallons of spray/water on your back? Dr. Bobkat bought some land southwest of Mandan years ago and spent every summer turning it into his dream habitat. Sweat equity. (I'd be willing to bet it's nice)...
