    Top tier ND taxidermists

    For anyone who has seen a fair amount of taxidermy work, who would you say are some of the best taxidermists in the state for big game? I'm not talking the cheapest. I mean the ones that do some of the absolute best work. And that isn't to say that guys who do work on the cheap end aren't...

    Using Ash in a Garden?

    Anybody here ever throw ash from a firepit into their garden? We have been burning lots of dead limbs/trees and our firepit is about full of ash. I saw an article or 2 online where people said you can put ash into your garden and it's good for the soil. Just curious if that's a good idea and...

    Custom Cabinet Suggestions?

    Anybody have some recommendations for custom cabinets for a kitchen in Bismarck? We aren't necessarily looking for the cheapest cabinets as the wife has fairly high taste. Would just like to see if anyone went with a certain business and would recommend them.

    Voles?

    So I think I have a vole problem in my garden. Started picking some beets this last week and noticed that a lot of the tops are eaten off. Then I started noticing little runs in the grass which sounds like voles as well. I've also noticed that under a few Ponderosa Pine trees, something has...

    Keeping fish alive

    Anybody able to keep fish alive in their livewells with the warm surface temps? A few friends and I were at Van Hook last weekend and I was recirculating water almost constantly all day and the fish all died fairly quick. Some of the fillets seemed mushy to me and honestly didn't taste the...

    Anyone grow honeyberries?

    I wanted to try and get some blueberry plants going this year but our soil has a high pH around 7 and it sounds like honeyberries would do well. Anyone grow them and what do you think of them? Also, if you do, what variety do you have or like the best?

    Tips for the Tailrace

    Hey fellas, for those of you who have fished the tailrace, what advice would you give to someone who's really never fished there? A successful trip for me would be: 1. Don't hit any rocks with the motor. 2. Catch a fish or 2. I've only been there once and that was with a friend. We were...

    Ling on Sak

    I know it isn't popular at all to fish for ling but does anybody do it with success on Sak? I'd actually like to try it but am not sure if it's worth the time or not. I live in Bismarck so I'd mostly be fishing on the east end. When I grew up, we'd catch a few each winter on White Earth Bay...

    Property Tax Increase

    Anybody else get a statement lately for their property taxes? I didn't even realize it but for a few years, the state was giving everyone a 12% credit on their taxes but the Legislature took that away this summer. My taxes went up by about 10%. I'm outside of city limits in Bismarck...

    Ideal sidescan conditions?

    So I just got a new Helix with sidescan and have been playing around with it. Seems though that when I'm over a hard bottom, it is damn tough so see fish and the shadows give away the fish more than the actual fish. For guys that have used sidescan a lot, what would you say are the best and...

    What's your sonar setup?

    Just curious what everyone has as far as their graph setup on their boat and what views they use? Do you have 1 graph or two? How do you split your screens between traditional sonar, downscan, sidescan, mapping, etc.? I had a 7" Lowrance and then bought a 12" Helix. I had originally thought...

    Sonar interference?

    So I have an older Lowrance Elite 7 HDI and just bought a Helix 12 and plan on running them side by side. Do I need to do anything special to limit interference between the 2? Obviously lots of guys run a couple graphs together so I assume it's not too big of a deal but just wondering if I...

    Garden Help

    How's everybody's garden doing so far this year? I don't know why, but I planted mine around May 20 and hardly anything came up. Last year, everything came up just great. Obviously it's really dry and I've been watering it every 2-3 days. I wonder if I should be watering it everyday and...

    Open water on the big lales

    Anybody driven by the east end of Sak or the north end of Oahe recently? How's the ice on the shorelines? Wouldn't mind trying some shore or ice fishing for northerns this weekend. I'm afraid the ice might be too rotten to even walk on or there won't be enough water open on the shoreline to...

    Berry varieties for the garden

    Last year we bought a new house and I tilled up a vegetable garden. This year, I want to get some berries going. I'm thinking raspberry, strawberry and blueberry. Just curious for the guys that have some, what varieties do you have and how have they done? My wife's aunt and uncle live in...

    Favorite Fish Batter?

    What's everyone's go-to recipe for beer battered fish? I like original Shore Lunch and then add in a tablespoon of Lawry's to the package, then fry as normal. Anybody have a batter mix that they really like or a concoction they mix up? I'm always looking for new recipes and am curious what...

    Casino Fiasco

    So I just saw on the ol'facebook that apparently, the casino was using 2 different scales today to weigh fish and one was off by 3 pounds. Looks like the guys running the tourney are denying it was off that much though. Either way, anybody here that can confirm that or have more info? Why in...
