    Its Turkey Time

    This is what the start of turkey season has been in the Black Hills. Cold and 16" of new snow. Better than the 30" we got before opener last year. Birds are gobbling but sticking pretty tight to the hens. Got one decent morning of weather then the crap hit. Going to let it all settle a bit...

    Outdoor photo request

    One of my favorite waterfowling days. Duck season closed a week before this hunt and before the geese came out we had thousands of ducks landing on us. Pretty incredible.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Where is a good place to order supplies? With this funk we've got going around I'm not doing much shopping in my normal places. And looking for some different varieties too that I can't find locally. I am going back to San Marzano's this year. I make sauces and the Roma's have been OK...

    No paddle fish season, & tournaments canceled April & May

    Wonder if any tournaments will go "virtual". Honor system essentially, much the catch photo release game out there, but without the gathering. Lots of other sports are going to this in some form. If you could do some sort of GPS tracking with geolocation of the photos, that would make it...

    Spring snows

    We don't kill enough to matter hardly anyway. I know a guy who hunted 212 area with a reputable guide and they killed 15 in two days with multiple guns. And this isn't a terrible year. They need a bust year or two or three to slow the numbers. A good hatch year I don't think with the best...

    Lawn Care - Scott's 4-Step Program

    I use the cheap stuff, bag in the spring, one in the fall, and if needed in the summer. If it gets really stressed in the summer, hitting it at the right time can be tough. If you get it right it really bounces back nicely. But, I will say I almost have better results from aeration compared...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree, they certainly get larger. Sets are easier and do really well in my conditions for whatever reason. If I do my job, I can get sets to be softball size. Not the monsters that seedlings produce, but good size.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, W SD is much different than up there. My grass is greening up right now. I've put in onions as early as I possibly could the last several years, snow cold whatever doesn't seem to bother them and they get a good start. From the sounds of it they'll be under a few inches of snow later in...

    The GOOD things & changes you're seeing in this mess?

    The getting outside & workout deal has also been a good change I agree. Lots more people out and about, even for a walk. My perspective has changed during it too. I went for a lunch gravel bike ride, short, 30 minutes. Incredible day, warm, hardly any wind. Strange for the world to be so...

    The GOOD things & changes you're seeing in this mess?

    I've seen and heard discussions about the good things folks are seeing or changes they are experiencing as part of the coronavirus mess. Instead of focusing all on the bad, some observations I have made that are good- -I am in the education line of work. The challenges that are being met are...

    Rapid and Spearfish both now I've heard.

    Corona Virus....How Long?

    I would say peak of new cases in May. Tapering down from there. Still will be hotspots like others have said. By the end of summer it will be dwindling. In SD, I don't foresee us going back to school this year. Economically, I don't think it will be "the same" even in a year. Those...

    Time to buy a new pickup?

    My '10 Chevy is just starting to do the same. Mine has been washed about the same and in SD with plenty of salt as well. My dad's '13 is doing it too. Just rock chips and above the rear wheels. Seems comparable to most other brands I have encountered.

    Spring snows

    Better question, is anyone killing any?

    Trolling swimbaits or other soft plastics for walleyes?

    Yes I'm talking more spread out fish. Big flats that you'd usually run cranks over. It would be slower and less efficient though. In shallower water, I do agree that lighter would work. Obviously as speed increases or depth, bigger would be better.

    Trolling swimbaits or other soft plastics for walleyes?

    I saw some stuff that the Next Bite had coming out on trolling swimbaits for walleyes. I did not see the episode though. I've read for years in In-Fisherman about swimbaits but haven't used them much. I don't do enough casting and the few times I have the results have been iffy. But trolling...

    New run on guns and ammo?

    I'm screwed if we are preparing for the apocalypse. But, I do work with a guy who went nuts on AR's and .22 ammo when Obama got in. He has shown me photos and claims to have over 30k rounds of .22 ammo. He was putting himself on wait lists when .22 ammo was tight. Same guy also has an entire...

    0 % interest

    I don't get why they did it already. Save it for later in this mess. Interest rates don't matter at all if nobody has confidence to buy, let alone leave their house. Right now we are telling people to not go anywhere, afraid they may not have a job, etc. Zero consumer confidence right now. I...
