    Duck Opener Redemption

    My heart sank as we crested a hill en route to our duck opener spot; in the glare of the high beams, the undeniable reflection of tail lights from a truck parked in the approach. The clock showed 5 AM, a full hour and 50 minutes before shooting time. In six years of hunting this location for...

    RIP fellow NDAer

    Just saw the word that our own arrowdem (Allan Sitzer) has passed away. I don't know the details but he was a young man and hunting fool taken way before his time. RIP sir. Heart goes out to all his family. :(

    ND Deer Rifle License!!!

    I got one!!! Last night...in a dream. Spurred by a bowl of ice cream and a Blue Num Num chaser. Incidentally, I also found $10K hidden in a mattress and got an impromptu lap dance from Brooke Burke circa 2005. Sigh, it was a good dream. :;:smokin

    Suggestions: Son Needs His First Rod

    So No. 1 Son and I got into some epic shore fishing in the Ottertail Lakes region Sunday. So much so, that my 30-year-old-ish Snoopy Pole finally took a dump and we were relegated to sharing my pole. Big difference for kiddo was that his pole had a button reel while mine was spinning. We're in...

    Where do you frosty beverages reside?

    Now I know most of you drink so fast you never have time to put your beer down. But there is that chance that you'll have to fight a fish or rebait a hook or detangle a rat's nest from the wife's reel. Hey, it happens. So in those instances, has anyone found a good, quality, non-spilling cup...

    I am the worm king!!

    Wish I had pix, but we were having too much fun. Before dropping the kiddos off this morning, No. 1 son grabbed a bucket and his 3.5-year-old enthusiasm to pick as many night crawlers as he could. We wound up with about $50 worth, which I'd like to keep at length. Right now they're in some dirt...

    Smoked Pork Should recipe suggestion

    So, I bought a 9-pound, bone-in pork shoulder because it was on sale for 98 cents/pound. Thought it would be great smoked and then shredded for all sorts of BBQ goodness. Anyone have a rub/brine/smoke recipe they care to share? Thanks!

    Do-it-yourselfers strike again

    I'm constantly reminded just how "special" our fellow humans can be. Case in point: My folks put a bid in on a cabin near Nevis, MN. Nice looking place on a good chunk of property. Room to grow. We were all pretty excited about the thought of having a family cabin to start making memories at...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    On my wife's birthday in early January, I was let go from my job. It came completely without warning. I was given little explanation as to why. And to top it all off, they actively told some staff there not to give me references because it would "undermine" the company if I somehow landed a job...

    Leaving for Red in the morning...truck just decided to piss purple fluid everywhere

    When it rains, it friggin' pours. Lost my job last week. Littlest kid got her first cold. Spread it to everyone. Finally on the mend and my galdurn F150 decided to spring a leak and piss purple/maroon fluid all over hell. I think it's my power steering as the sound definitely gets worse when I...

    Picky Eaters

    The pike cleaning thread got me thinking about this: Are you a picky eater? I'm continually surprised by the amount of grown individuals who are exceedingly picky about what they eat (allergies notwithstanding). When I was raised, there was one four-letter word that my mother hated above all...

    The RIGHT way to clean pike

    I'm drawing a line in the sand because I'm sick of seeing the "wrong" way to clean pikes and get boneless fillets. AKA, Exhibit A: This way just pisses me right the hell off. One, the claim that the "backstap" from the first cut is boneless is complete BS. It's full of cartilage and the ends...

    Lamest Walleye Advice Ever

    I'm trying to up my walleye game in hopes of having greater success with Son No. 1 this winter. So, I do what comes natural, which is to turn to the interweb and start googling "How To Ice Fish Walleyes." Most of it is same-old, same-old. I've fished walleyes my whole life, so I'm not a...

    Fishing With a Minnow on the Bottom?

    Interesting video of pressured walters, both of the reaction to the suspended dead bait, as well as the broken/minnow jigs laying on the bottom. Got me thinking of doing an experiment mid winter when the bite gets tougher. Set up two dead sticks, one with a live minnow suspended a foot or...

    Kvaloch Parents Suing Coach, School, Insurance

    I need to first state that I can't even begin to fathom what these parents went through. Losing both their sons in an instant -- God. Horrible. And they have no real answers. Only bits and pieces of stories and evidence...but not culprit. However, I gotta think that going through this will do...

    Helix 5 conundrum

    So I got a $50 gift card for Scheels and decided to swing by there over lunch to see if they had Humminbird ice duckers. Asked the associated up there and he showed me the stack. "You got a Helix 5 Sonar?" he asked. "Yup," I said. "The DI." "Oh, well this won't work." "What?" "I just was...

    Ideal Deadstick Rod

    Unfortunately, I am not in the market for a custom dead stick rod. Otherwise I'd definitely consider one from Thorne Bros. or the likes. (On a related note, Scheels in Fargo now carries TUCR ice rods. It was nice to pick them up after seeing so many good reviews. Bit too rich for my blood...

    Give your pups a hug

    Remy has spent all day at the vet for an ailment we currently no little about. Signs point to a bowel obstruction (which would be his second in his lifetime) but it could be anything. And there's a chance a tumor removed from his mouth was, indeed, cancerous. I'm a bit numb at the moment...
