Still messing around with my spear shack. Shelves, decoy hangers, flooring, etc. Don't trust ANY of the ice yet, so I won't be trying it out anytime soon. Guess I'll just have to chase roosters and snare coyotes for awhile. (Grin)
ND manages for hunter opportunity per the ND G&F publications, and the best opportunity to harvest deer is during the rut when deer movement during daylight hours is at it's peak. Moving rifle season would NOT be in the interest of maximizing hunter opportunity. The End!!!
Great Post Bckhntr!! Unfortunately, the "One Taggers" aren't interested in numbers, facts, and science. They don't even accept that the G&F admitted a one tag system has no basis other than social and won't improve anything. They're just mad they didn't get a tag and the landowners, bow...
I vacuum my mounts using the small round bristle attachment when I notice they need it. I use windex on the eyes CAREFULLY and if needed I use a small amount of soap in water to wipe off the nose, lips, and antlers. I have also used pressured air every year or so to blow out the dug in dust...
I'm sorry you feel that way DM. I truly am. However, deer hunting isn't the problem IMO. Deer hunting is the same as it's always been. The anticipatory nervousness before a hunt is the same. The thrill of seeing deer is the same. The smiles from successful hunters are the same as are most...
HaHaHaha!!! Pretty good whine for your 3rd post. Of course it's MY fault when you know absolutely nothing about me. THANK YOU for illustrating my point.
I do everything from field to fridge myself. Come to think of it, I do lots of gutting, skinning, and other stuff for other folks as well. I just like to mess with deer I guess. I've seen, tasted, and heard about too many unfortunate incidents from meat lockers that I don't trust the finished...
Davey, if you do a search on NDA, you will come up with at least 3 years of "Discussion" on this topic that will contain the same "Broken Record" arguments for a one tag system. This topic has been discussed to death and the one tag system has been shown to be lacking in all areas. So, other...
Oh for "F" Sakes!!!!! I'm so sick and tired of cry babies bringing this topic up every fricken year!!!! The system is just fine the way it is. It works and needs no adjustments. Everyone has the same chance of drawing a tag. LEAVE IT ALONE!!! Here's a thought, instead of whining about what...
NO to party hunting. Is hunting about the hunt or the KILL??? Seems to me a large number of folks who like party hunting are probably more interested in killing more deer instead of HUNTING for deer. More negative aspects of party hunting in an open habitat like ND than there are positives...
Land ownership has it's pitfalls and frustrations doesn't it?? You pay for the fantasy of having your own "Honey Hole" to groom and tailor to your preference. You can see your kids, smiles aplenty as you take pics of their successful hunts. You walk the edges and picture what it will be...
Let's see......Kentucky Windage.......Yep........KINGSFORD for him!!!!
ItemB, I don't like telling folks that jeans and long johns work. I'd rather show folks that jeans and long johns work just fine. (Grin)
I just returned from a MAGNIFICENTLY SPECTACULAR hunting trip to Montana with Kickemup and I hope he composes his own thread on his experiences as I don't want to steal his thunder relating my own story. We spent 7 days in the beautiful Montana mountains and another 5 days in the more prairie...
Started at 19 in the ND Air National Guard from 90-02, went AD Navy 02-10, AF Reserve 10-17. I joined to blow things up, get away from a girl, and do a bit of travel. Signed for 6 and stayed for 20 more. Played both enlisted and officer sides of the fence and I would absolutely do it again...
Buncha trigger happy hoodlums!! If we could JUST LET some of these fawns get some age on'em, THEN we would have some REAL trophy deer. Instead, what do we get in ND?? Everyone shoots the first average deer that comes by and thinks they're "The Man". Shoot a REAL deer for a change fellas...
