    Deer Meat

    Clearly we're liars, though. No way anyone can get 70 pounds of meat off a white-tailed deer when it seems like 50 is the magic number. Moose, maybe. Deer, no way. ::: I'm a firm believer that more beers does not yield more meat. I stay pretty sober during my carcass-butchering process, and...

    Ice reports?

    Deer hunted Friday by a big body of water. I've never seen it locked up during deer opener before. Even really cold years, it still stays open. It was completely locked up from shore to shore. I was amazed.

    Trimming out venison for sausage

    I remember when I first learned butchering your own deer was even a thing (don't laugh, but back in 1998 or so I literally knew nobody who cut up their own deer. It was straight to the butcher. Every time). The tide turned when we had a fella come in to Gander Mountain, where I worked, and put...

    Deer Meat

    I got 30 pounds of ground and about 40 pounds of whole meat (including shanks for stewing/osobucco) off my buck this weekend.

    Trimming out venison for sausage

    I used to be super, duper meticiulous with trimming, to the point where it would take me all dang day to bone out and package a deer. I'm a dad now. Ain't nobody got time for dat. I've found I don't have to be too picky, and the ground product still tastes fantastic. And mind you, we pretty...

    Rifle Opener 2019 countdown

    One more sleep then it's wheels up! Every year since 2002, I've had the same feeling: What is tomorrow going to bring? Will deer be running footloose and fancy free, or will it be something to see even one brown body in the woods? I relish the chance to walk up those hills again, marveling...

    Long time lurker, short time member

    The only questions that really need answering are: 1) NDSU or UND 2) Docked or undocked 3) Do you consider a silver Lab an actual dog breed 4) Who was your Jedi master that taught you bullhead fishing skills (prerequisite for all NDA members)

    Rifle Opener 2019 countdown

    Weird thing is having a Federal duck stamp on the back of my phone because I have the license electronically only. Kinda sucks peeling it off after the season. :::

    Rifle Opener 2019 countdown

    I dunno...sitting in a cornfield doesn't have quite the ambiance I'm after.

    Rifle Opener 2019 countdown

    I was really looking forward to 20-degree weather Friday. Now 40s. Meh. Saturday/Sunday look a lot better. I guess it doesn't matter. I'll be in the woods no matter what!

    New gear for 19-20 ice season

    I'm not buying even a single jig this year. If I buy anything, it'll be an insulated Hub house since the two kiddos get mighty crammed in the flip-over with me.

    Hockey and observations from a midlife crisis

    The wife and I feel exactly the same way. If either kiddo truly wants to give hockey a crack, far be it from me to be the hypocrite and say "no way." But I'm not forcing their hand.

    Land in 2G for youngsters to rifle hunt.

    KDM wins the Internet today. Again.

    From Cold Water to Hot Water?

    I dunno, I'm pretty darn impressed. Bunch of enterprising young dudes capitalize on a niche market, that pays them to goof around and entertain. Sounds like the American dream, to me. I watched another vid where it talks about if any of them have actual jobs. Four of them do the Youtube thing...

    Something is better than nothing, which is what it's been lately. I'll take beans. The sooner that's off, the sooner they'll start on corn. I don't know a single farmer who enjoys trying to combine corn in the winter.

    Rifle Opener 2019 countdown

    Reports from a couple buddies in NC and SC ND reporting farmers are combining like mad right now. I'm not sure how much ground they can cover between now and next Friday, but it's a good sign!!

    Hockey and observations from a midlife crisis

    Well, I sold my boat in October...so maybe this is how I fill the void??

    From Cold Water to Hot Water?

    I was also scratching my head about supposed "charges."

    Hockey and observations from a midlife crisis

    I haven't laced up my skates since college, and even then I only skated a few times. It's been probably 20 years since I seriously played hockey, and prior to that it was 11 years straight of practices, games and tournaments. Now at 35, I find myself back on the rink. Why? Not really sure. The...

    Snow Geese

    Guy I follow on FB just had a banger hunt somewhere to the west. Shot a pile of snows, specks, Canadas and greenies.
