    Favorite Kind of ice shelter

    I'm a weirdo. I have a flip over shappell that I use frequently, but my favorite is an old S2000 Shappell "2-man" suitcase style house. It's tiny. Have I fished two people in it? Yes. Is it practical? Hell no. But for portability in a vehicle and comfort on the ice, it's not a bad combo. I can...

    Weather Calls.........

    Looks like a doozy. My techs better drive safe.

    Dogs and fences/injuries

    Couple years ago Blitz sliced his ear on barbwire. You don't realize how much blood a 45-pound dog can loose until you've witnessed the results of a 3-4 inch slice on the ol ear flap. Only way we could stop it was to gob on ointment, wrap the ear in a sock and then duct tape it to his head...

    Ice fishing DIY/shack mods/equipment

    I have a real hankering to either build or buy a tip-down flag. At first I really wanted an iFish Pro, but after seeing it and holding it, just doesn't seem all that robust. Too much thin plastic and little pieces that could break or get misplaced. On the other hand, something as simple as a Rod...

    Gun season during the rut?

    With the amount of people who walk during gun season, it probably doesn't matter what time of year it is as far as deer movement is concerned. They'll still push properties, kick up deer and shoot them in the ass regardless of how horny they are....the deer, I mean.

    Underwater Camera decision

    I'm torn between the Marcum Recon and the Aqua-Vu AV715C. I see they're both the same price, but I do like that the Aqua-Vu has a beefier camera and cord. Seems like it would be a bit more stable in the water. I've used a few cameras in the past that I borrowed, and the lighter cameras seemed to...

    One tag system

    That's interesting...eastern ND is a pretty big chunk of area. Where I walk, I see probably a half dozen every fall. I even kicked up a young bull within a half hour of Fargo late last December while walking for pheasants. If anything, it seems like moose out here are becoming more of a norm...

    One tag system

    I know, personally, that three deer a year would be just right for my four-unit family. Last year I got two (one rifle buck and one archery doe) and the only reason I have three roasts left, two pounds of ground, and two packages of backstrap is because the moment I found out I didn't pull a...

    Ice Rod Case

    I'm kind of keen for those simple, three-rod cases with the bag on the end leading to a single PVC tube. I used to think I wanted a case to keep all my rods arranged, but now that I'm into the teens, it's not practical to lug around a couple giant plastic cases when tangles still occur. For me...

    Winter dog travel

    We got a second dog months before my firstborn came on the scene. Just happenstance, but it is what it is. I thought I could get by with kennel covers and my tonneau cover. Found out pretty quick that a topper is the way to go. I have side-access windows that can lift up as well as slide open...

    F'n Trespassers!!!

    I'd start trying to visit that land more often in the short term. My guess is they see you're not there very often (once every couple years by the sounds of it?) and figure it's free reign -- trespassing signs be damned. I'd make it a point to get out there every couple months minimum just to...

    Cyber Monday deals on ice fishing bibs

    Thorne Bros had some decent stuff.

    Flip over Ice shelters - which one?

    That's my exact house! I bought it because of the price tag and the fact that the poles don't extend. I really wanted to run wires for my LED light strips inside the poles, and based on experience I knew that extendable poles are a bad idea. Plus you can pack up literally in seconds. I added the...

    Theft of Property

    Yet more reason to go through private surgery centers and whatnot, when you can. I'm biased because my wife works at one, but sure seems like patience care and customer satisfaction is their top priority -- not just making a buck.

    Shooting Range Safety

    You talking the free one at Casselton? Yeah...I'd much rather pay for Horace that go to that deathtrap.

    Shooting Range Safety

    I'm about the most laid-back dude you've ever seen that doesn't smoke weed. Yet, an instant like that would turn me savage. I'm not sure how you kept your cool, but I'm pretty sure that's a good way to get your rifle barrel bent around your neck.

    Do you process your own deer?

    I was so anal about removing fat silver skin when I first started butchering that, combined with my inexperience, it would take me all damn day to do a single deer. TO the point that I still had grinding and packaging to do the next day. Fast forward, and I've become much more lenient. I get as...

    Do you process your own deer?

    I've been butchering my own deer since high school. My folks said if I wanted to shoot deer, I either needed to fork over the processing fees or do it myself. So I found a VHS tape at Gander Mountain, watched it a dozen times, and did it myself. I take a lot of pride in getting as much meat...

    Topwater addict

    Hahaha hibernating bass??? That's interesting. I have better luck catching bass through the ice than I do during the summer...and I sure ain't snagging them.

    CLEARLY a Samskratchewan brute. No Doubt about it.
