    Need a little help

    Wasps were the non-human enemy number 1 for me and the troops in Afghanistan so I kind of got over the "Fear" having to deal with them so often. I didn't have enough chemical to deal with even 10% of the bastages, so I went with the "Smash and Bash" methodology. Waited until dark and walked...

    There off

    DB, DON'T and I repeat DON'T mix pheasants and chickens. There are numerous diseases that these birds will exchange that will cause you all kinds of pain and suffering if you get them. Coccidiosis is one that springs to mind right away. Coryza is another. If you want to keep both, try to...

    There off

    We kept ours in half of a building with little square doors that we could close during bad weather that separated them from the enclosed pen. We had 5 square feet per adult bird. They are NOT, repeat NOT like chickens. They WILL kill each other if they are crowded. We kept as few roosters as...

    There off

    I hear ya db. Had to deal with guys trying to hunt the birds that would sit on our pens from time to time. They would drive right in the driveway, park in our yard, and start taking guns out. Dad had some interesting discussions with a few and the Sheriff was at our place more than once. To...

    There off

    We released thousands of pheasants back in the late 70's and early 80's in west central MN and we found that releasing fewer adult birds in the spring resulted in more successful establishment of a population. Example: instead of releasing 300 6-10 week old birds that have to survive all...

    Patience is a virtue

    Nose your boat up to the motor of one of the boats, jump in being sure to disconnect the fuel line to the motor with your foot and step on as many rods as possible while kicking over any tackle boxes and coolers you see. Fake a trip on the way to the front of the boat and pull the keys out of...

    jigs...

    1/8th for everything to 50+ ft if the conditions are calm. I will use a 1/4 when casting bigger paddletails or if windy conditions make boat control interesting.

    Patience is a virtue

    When guys block the dock spaces, courtesy or otherwise, I just have whomever I'm with drive the boat, nose up to the boat, and I walk through the blocking boat and head for the truck. Now these boats HAVE to be blocking and not just in line. By blocking I mean BS'ing, taking equipment out, and...

    Good ol' fishing stories (Please share your)

    I was fishing at the dam in VC by the "Bubble" and watched a guy walk right up next to me, hook a crawler on his catfish style rig, cast it out and set the rod handle in the rocks. I mentioned that he should hold onto the rod or use a rod holder as there are some big fish that can steal your...

    How I do voles....

    Mowing the lawn real short late in the fall has all but eliminated the voles out here. If they don't have the grasses to eat through the winter, they die or move on. Summer is another story though. My chickens flush'em out or drive'em under something when they get into the yard and Herc...

    Plans for the 4th

    We were going to see my cousins from all over the country down at the lakes and celebrate their grandmothers 100th birthday and the 4th of July, but she passed away suddenly two weeks ago, so now we are attending a funeral and the 4th of July celebration will be understandably diminished. Going...

    It this "responsible resource development" that's the COBRA IN YOUR COFFEE CUP here. Careful Guys. I've seen "responsible resource development" in the western part of ND and I'm NOT a big fan of what it's done and is continuing to do to the public lands out there. Touting this as "Good for...

    Cooler Advice

    Advice: First decide what you need. Do you need a cooler to hold ice or frozen stuff frozen for a week in the back country or do you need something to keep beers cold for a summer day on the water? Then decide how durable you need it to be. i.e. Are you going to toss it into the back of your...

    Alumacraft Competitor Owners

    I have a '97 Trophy 185 and love it. It's rated for a 175, but I have a 135 on it right now. When cash allows, I'd like to put a 175 on it, but for now the 135 will have to do. They don't make the same floor configuration that I have anymore so you'll have to take what I say with a grain of...

    Here's your sign!!

    Pretty sure I'd have an appropriate response to the inconsideration being displayed here that would have a positive impact on this individual which I will keep to myself as they are classified.

    Good, bad, or somewhere in-between day.

    Yep!! That'd be a "Tweener" day in my book. Glad you're back up and runnin' though. Sucks to be without equipment.
