    Here piggy piggy

    Been on more than one hog rodeo/roundup. Hogs dig......A LOT!! Go figure that they sometimes dig under the fences. Herding hogs is very akin to herding cats except that cats generally don't weigh 100 lbs or more. As far as having escape livestock on my land, I look at it this way. Cattle...

    North Dakota Sportfishing Congress April 22nd, 2023 Annual Banquet & Fundraiser

    Your link isn't the same website I found by typing in north dakota sport fishing congress. Might want to get that older website pulled. It is probably causing you to lose some support if folks find that one instead of your new site. As ANS is your biggest topic right now, could you give us a...

    North Dakota Sportfishing Congress April 22nd, 2023 Annual Banquet & Fundraiser

    Seems to be a legitimate question. From the North Dakota Sport fishing Congress website on April 12 2023: Under past events: April 12 2021 Fundraiser. Seems nothing happened since asking for money in 2021. Under information: Minutes...

    Wildlife Photography.

    When one has killed enough that the thought of killing becomes distasteful, one looks for the same satisfaction WITHOUT killing. Which is probably why some of the best outdoor photo guys were crazy driven hunters before. Nice pics BTW.

    Buying gold and silver.

    Buying land WITHOUT involving a bank is the ONLY way to buy land IMO. If you involve a bank, the chances of actually owning that land within your lifetime is significantly diminished.

    Buying gold and silver.

    That's about how it was explained to me too Phill. An oz of gold back in 1900 could buy you a good tailored suit. Today an oz of gold will buy you the same thing...a good tailored suit.

    Critters

    Only had one mink mess with the chickens this winter. I explained to him that my chicken coop wasn't his personal pantry. Hope this white cancer is gone by the weekend. Lots of brown, south facing slopes here in the Sheyenne valley and my deer herd has SIGNIFICANTLY dropped off. I still have...

    Winter Sucks....and the deer don't like it either!

    Feeding critters in winter is NOT for the faint of heart. It's work and expensive to boot. I buy my deer feed at harvest time and stockpile bales well before the snow flies and I'm at the bottom of the barrel right now. This winter has been especially crappy. I'm coming up on 3k in expenses...

    I HATE coyotes!!!!

    I just did a head count. I have 76 deer in the yard (1.6 acres) right now with more walking in on the trails doing their best to survive this dog shrite winter. The bales are swarmed with deer and the trails of corn I put out are lined with deer. Some of them are in pretty tough shape. Oh...

    I HATE coyotes!!!!

    Going to vent here for a bit guys. Had a fawn come through the yard tonight with the ENTIRE back half of the left ham EATEN OFF!!! I could see the bone and the poor thing was still hobbling around trying to eat. The herd didn't like it very much and pushed it out of the yard due to what I...

    Ice Dam

    The only time I've dealt with ice dams we took a hose from the house to the top of the ice and ran warm water over the dam until it was gone. Then it was a roof rake keeping the snow from doing a repeat. Make sure your downspout is clear or you might do more damage than good. The runoff went...

    OK, for the winter weary...What are these???

    I need a bit of assistance here fellas. These two gems were in an auction lot I purchased and have no idea what they are or what they are supposed to be used for. They are heavy steel with one end being solid and the other end moves up and down the notched part and are hinged in the middle...

    Another winter storm

    This mother(&^^%%$ could spell disaster for the deer herds. In the last month the deer have trashed 4 full size round bales of hay. I think I have a couple hundred thin looking critters coming in every day all day. I hope this is the end as I only have one bale left and about 30 bushels of...

    Sump pumps/pits, discharge hoses, etc.

    I recommend having at least one 12 volt sump pump, a battery, and a solar panel to charge the battery standing by. If the power tanks, it won't matter a tinkers damn how many bells and whistles you have on your sump pump, you're still getting a pool in your basement. Gas generators are useful...

    Whole lot of clucking going on in minot

    Everyone should have a few hens in the backyard IMO. It's stupid easy to build a mobile coop out of free pallet wood and a couple yards of chicken wire. Move the thing every couple days and the droppings won't build up enough to smell or draw flies. Four hens will eat about a cup of food per...

    Your Most Expensive Fishing Rod

    My most expensive (and treasured) rod I have was sold to me when I was 16 years old for 80 bucks in Sioux Narrows Ontario by a guy that stayed at the same campground we stayed at for 23 years in a row. It is a custom made wood handled (Zebra Wood) spinning rod made with a G loomis blank with...

    So...Recession?

    Don't worry folks. The govt. money printing machine will solve all the inflation woes and recession talk. A couple trillion pieces of unbacked paper will bring the economy right back up the the stone age. You'll see.
