    Feral Pig Sightings Must be Reported

    "Shooting of feral pigs is illegal in North Dakota unless a person is protecting property or livestock." So...the G&F wants all sightings reported. And they make it crystal clear that any feral pigs would spell potential doom. Yet, it's ILLEGAL to shoot one?? How does that make sense?

    Migration

    Buddies came up over the weekend. Four guys shot 12 mallards over two days in SE ND. It wasn't form a lack of trying! At least willing ditch parrots helped keep things interesting. For the amount of hunters we saw, and the lack of shooting both days, my bet is our poor luck wasn't the only...

    Lost Wedding Ring

    Never lost mine (it fits my finger pretty much perfect) but my great uncle lost his deer hunting a few years ago. He was removing his glove for some reason and it was a cold day. Best he can figure is his fingers shrunk a bit from the temperature and the ring just came off with the glove. Snow...

    Winners in the Oilfield: G&F looking for poachers

    I dunno, sorting pond scum from fecal matter from the stuff you scrape off a trash lid just leaves you messy in the process, but I'd think the "meat hunters" are pretty low considering they couldn't just stop at one deer, and they only took a fraction of the meat available on the deer they...

    Winners in the Oilfield: G&F looking for poachers

    Since we're throwing out hypotheticals, my vote is on a tribe of nomadic oilfield workers recently laid off and now fighting for survival on the cold, desolate, Chik-Fil-A free plains of North Dakota.

    Winners in the Oilfield: G&F looking for poachers

    District Warden Looking to Solve Poaching Incidents North Dakota Game and Fish Department district game warden Keenan Snyder is seeking information on several illegal-taking-of-wildlife incidents over the last month in the Williston and Watford City areas. Anyone with information on the...

    Greatful and Sad

    I have one farmer friend that I keep close to the vest as he actually doesn't post his land, so anyone can hunt it. But he does know a lot of people, which has opened doors to other land in the past. Still, I'm finding my hunting habits have shifted immensely since I started waterfowl hunting...

    Gander Mountain in Fargo

    To me, Scheels is a necessary evil. They usually have the best variety and stock or products, so get my business. I guess the only place that hasn't been mentioned yet is Fleet Farm. They honestly kind of suck for hunting gear, but have a good selection of ammo at pretty decent prices. In fact...

    Gander Mountain in Fargo

    When big Ed was back in the fishing department, GM was worth visiting. He knew more about the ins and outs of the Red River than just about anyone. But when he died and they quit selling bait, there was no reason to go there any more.

    Gander Mountain in Fargo

    Scheels is stupid busy all the time. I almost wish GM was at least somewhat competitive so I had another place to buy stuff. But Scheels always outdoes them on price and supply. It's ridiculous.

    Gander Mountain in Fargo

    Serious question: I drive by that place pretty frequently and there are never more than a dozen vehicles in the lot. Does anyone actually go to Goose Peak any more??? I've been in there a few times over the years, but never purchase anything unless it's clearanced or on sale since their prices...

    Yup, another newbie...

    Cool! They are wrapped in just plastic, but not sure how tightly. I'm sure they're freezer burned. I'll try to get them down your way sometime this fall. Travel that route often on hunting runs. Thanks for the help!

    Yup, another newbie...

    Hey, welcome to NDA!! I have two giant pure-strain American black ducks from Prince Edward Island, Canada, as well as a true bull gadwall from South Dakota. Both have been in my freezer for over a year in plastic grocery bags. Dumb, I know. Sure they're all toast, but in your expert opinion...

    Soaking Meat in Fridge

    Everything I've read about aging meat is that it's all about temperature. Too cold and the bird freezes, which just preserves it the way it is. Too warm, and the bird starts harboring nasty microbes that can make you sick. If you have access to a small dorm fridge, you can buy an aftermarket...

    Worst shooting day ever....

    I am by no means a lights-out shooter, but I've improved exponentially after one big change: I got a new shotgun. Now hear me out, because I know what you're thinking, "right, buying a new gun is going to fix everything. Sure it will." Actually no, that's not why I improved. It's because I...

    Soaking Meat in Fridge

    I soak my birds in water for an hour or two. Usually that's after a few water changes. That's just to prepare it for the freezer. If I do any brining, it's the day of cooking/smoking and usually involves a mixture of salt, sugar, water and seasonings.

    Did you shoot any geese today?

    Heading out in the a.m. for ducks, but won't bypass the wayward goose. If I'm successful, I'll drop you a note.
