    Hiking in the badlands

    I would like to take my kids hiking in the badlands next week. Does anybody have any suggestions for a nice scenic place to hike about 1 to 3 miles long?

    mid summer crappies

    Last year on a Minnesota lake we couldn't catch crappie for two days. Saw them all day long at around 16 feet but they wouldn't bite. Good thing I had Al Lindners book about crappie fishing with. In the book Lindner said that during the summer they won't start biting until they start moving...

    I have a dream, that one day, people will stop being so butt hurt about everything. This world sucks nowadays.

    'Racist' Pool Safety Poster Brings Red Cross Apology

    You mean like when a cat comes into their yard? :)

    Leash law applys to Cats to

    I guess I have a hard time understanding the hate some people have for animals that come into their yard. We have neighbors that let their cats out. If they are in our yard our kids love them. Plus they sit on the rocks on the edge of our property looking for mice, and catch quite a few. I...

    Dont text and boat

    I'm guessing this in one of those stupid fake emails that goes around to prove some kind of point - like "see how dumb the young people are today because they would rather text than fish." Are we suppose to believe a boat could drive onto another boat like this with minimal damage, not to...

    Advice needed on trolling motor battery

    I'm looking at the Everstart 29DC from Walmart with about 110 amp hours. I'm not super concerned about weight (but don't want extremely heavy) because I actually need weight in the front of the canoe most of the time to help steer easier.

    Advice needed on trolling motor battery

    I have a 55 lb thrust minkotta trolling motor that I will be using on a canoe. What would you guys suggest for the size of battery, specifically how many amp hours minimum should I buy? I don't use it that often but when I do, the trolling motor would get used fairly hard as the main source of...

    Whats up with these damn storms...

    I live in Horizon Heights. Very windy but trampoline stayed put (it has three hold down straps with three foot anchors). I saw one tree fell on a house on Estevan Drive.

    Storm 6/17

    I live about 2 blocks west of Horizon and I didnt find any damage to my vinyl siding. I'll have to check closer I guess. My awesome tomato plants were destroyed though. Glad I'm not a farmer. I really hate it when a handful of plants gets destroyed. I wouldn't be able to sleep if my income...

    Allowed to shame people on here?

    I agree. I fish the river around Bismarck all the time and rarely have problems with other people even if there is dozens of boats in an area.

    How much do I tip the dock crew when renting a houseboat.

    We rented a houseboat on Rainy Lake a number of years back and rent cabins in MN pretty much every year. I can't say I've experienced any negativity from people in Minnesota against outsiders. They have all been pretty nice. I wonder how many MN and WI residence that come to fish and hunt in...

    Building a new house

    Make sure you have plenty of outlets in the garage. I can't believe how many newer houses in our neighborhood (including mine) have only a couple of outlets in the garage. Also put in vents in your closet if possible. Keeps them fresher.

    The SPAWN!

    I disagree. Give up your killing grounds. The more dead the better.

    Drift socks

    I didn't know anybody still used those. I never liked using them. Trolling motor works better.

    Jokes in the boat.

    We were fishing in the Heart River one year and even though we stayed a long distance from the shore fishermen I still managed to catch one of their lines on my jig. The shore fisherman didn't notice that I had caught his line so I tell the guys in the boat to "watch this." I yanked the shore...

    Potty training puppies

    We had a small dog that took awhile to learn how to potty train. What worked well is we put her into a kennel at all times unless she went potty outside. Then we let her run around the house for an hour or two before we took her outside to go potty again. If she went potty we let her run...

    Worst tasting fish

    I'm surprised by some of the responses. The biggest reason a fish tastes bad is from the water it is caught in or more specifically the environment in the water that it lives in. A salmon from Sakakawea tastes like crap but one from the ocean is one of the best tasting sushi you can get. A...

    Getting the "SNIP"

    johnr, I'm sure you know this, but it's not like you get your nuts cut off. It's a really simple procedure with little risk. Not sure why you make it sound like you will become impotent or lose bladder control. Even though a guy can't get pregnant, he's still got to support any baby he...
