    Hub Shelters- Must have/need items?

    I picked up an insulated hub shelter after exclusively using flip over shelters. With a little one who will soon be fishing, wanted more room and comfort. That said, I have no clue what I will need otherwise. Any thoughts on the items below, or otherwise, are appreciated- Anchors- Are they...

    Grain Bin accident

    Sympathy to the family! There are times you have to go in.....no way around it. It surely is a shame that more safety devices, like confined entry retractors, aren't used or available. I don't think any of us can say we haven't had a time, be it at work on in leisure, where we were so...

    Minimum Wages

    Seems like fairly neutral data used. Good read, thanks for posting.

    Minimum Wages

    The effects will be far reaching. I believe there are certainly jobs that adults are doing that are not fairly paid. Living wage can be difficult to define though. A family with two adults and a couple kids certainly can't make it today on two minimum wages jobs. Yet, because a kid is in HS...

    Robinhood App

    From the more I have read, it wasn't really an issue of Robinhood not wanting to "let" people buy GME. It was overwhelmed by volume and couldn't cover the capital needed to clear the transaction per federal trading rules. There is a reason Robinhood raised a bunch of capital that...

    Electrc vehicles~

    It can be hard to determine. Simple Google searches come up with wildly different numbers on energy production from wind & solar. I think the environmental concerns brought up are legit. I've seen wind farms go in and the concrete alone is incredible. Add in the dirt work, etc. and the...

    Robinhood App

    For most average Joe's I couldn't agree more. This GME and AMC stuff has people thinking they are investment heroes. Lost in the mix is the fact that many more people have lost thousands trying to gamble on markets they have very little knowledge in. I'm all for what is going on and think...

    Electrc vehicles~

    That's my point.....when you have a car that has a larger battery and is powering the car fully, the costs to replace are going to be way higher. They have to last longer than what the Prius batteries will. Bottom line with all of this is the environment will be harmed in some way, we just...

    Electrc vehicles~

    Interesting read. I live very nearby to a Tesla charging station along the interstate. I saw them put it in and thought it would never get used. It's actually very seldom I'm not at that gas station when there isn't one or two at least there charging. Heck, there are two of them in the small...

    Anyone Tie Flies?

    I haven't tied any pike flies yet. If I knew a lake with a good population of hammer handles I'd give my 6 weight a test. Had a lake years ago loaded with them, man would that have been a riot on a fly rod! I just started tying trout flies this winter. Started simple zebra midges and such...

    New Land Bills: SB 2036, 2037 and 2038

    What's with the hard on for "electronic" posting? Are other states doing this? I haven't heard of it until ND started playing with it, though I have not looked into it. Though apps like OnX work well, there are still huge data gaps within the GIS data sets. Some counties in SD still don't...

    Odd weather

    Sounds like Hwy 12 is closed to Hettinger and 73 to Summerville. They're saying everyone south and east of Lemmon prepare to evacuate. Town is fine according to what I read on FB. Some pretty wild pictures out there, just glowing to the west/northwest. How fast can a prairie fire burn in 50...

    Odd weather

    Yes the big winds are going to pooch things up pretty good for anything with marginal ice or any open water. But, it sounds like winter is coming next week, significant pattern shift to more of the La Nina pattern they expected. We've made it this long into winter with nice weather, I won't...

    Does anyone here target carp?

    Other than a leech mentioned, any good fly patterns to tie for carp? I just started tying and enjoy the few minutes a night tying up a fly or two.

    south dakota pheasant season extended to jan 31

    Hunted yesterday, the wet and weird weather had the birds scattered here and there. Had a good hunt but lots of miles put on. Incredible weather for January....can't think that you can experience days like that too often that month in this country. The January opportunity is nice but I could...

    Does anyone here target carp?

    Never tried braid, but with big pike flies I think I would still lean on fluoro. I've never done well casting heavier flies on light line. Streamers and such seem to cast better for me with line that has more stiffness. I'm not sure I'd worry about the visibility of braid like some might say...

    Send Kristi an email with the idea. I'm sure she'd try to sell that out too. Our legislative session starts here, I'm sure it will come up!

    south dakota pheasant season extended to jan 31

    I agree that if you're hunting Idaho it's not a good comparison. I know when I plan my OOS elk adventures I'm looking for solid populations and avoid areas that have predator issues. But I don't hunt Idaho. But, the point simply is that if you're paying for a license, folks should have the...

    south dakota pheasant season extended to jan 31

    I can agree with the fact that if the weather is crappy folks wouldn't hunt. And I do agree that providing hunting opportunities is important. However, it cannot be argued that our hunting and fishing policies are now more economically driven than scientifically based. The great Gov. Noem has...

    New Private Habitat Plots

    The PF site says $50/acre annual payment to the landowner? On marginal ground that is fair money. We may look into it in some small plots. The pollinator plots are generally the best brood cover you can get for young chicks.
