    Badlands mule deer

    I sorta stand with one foot on each of the line here. Mentioned, I did see pretty much every doe with fawns. A couple who over achieved with trips. But overall, I am not sure I could equate out the 16 percent increase. I don't fly a plane obviously, I can only go by what is in the road...

    Badlands mule deer

    Ha. Not saying I won't do this in my life (go with an opportunity to hunt prime conditions) but it will be done in a way I like to hunt and with little or no hand holding. But for now, I'll laugh along. - - - Updated - - - The weather was not kind where we hunted. 4-6 inches of snow...

    Badlands mule deer

    No. Its not, but they are out there (or hell, use to be...ha). I do have my expectations set for 180 these days just because of the phase of hunting I'm in currently but a 170 is a nice damn deer. A 160 is fine in its own regard. 180 in the mountain states in todays world is not exactly a...

    Badlands mule deer

    4a I can agree more roads is screwing up the border of that unit. 4c maybe a bit of that to the north. But the rest hasn't seen Bakken development so I can't go with more roads and oil pads. Heck, I've lost miles of roads due to reclamation. I think more of it is on the horizon due to aging...

    Badlands mule deer

    IDK man, I'm thinking about going to 4c, ha! The first two weekends had lots of road activity. But honestly, what confused the hell out of me is with all the hunters I rarely see orange in the field or beyond the "quarter milers" that walk 400 yards out, turn around and say they walked a mile...

    Badlands mule deer

    Agree to some of this (good portion). But I hunt areas where I think I can say like 5 new wells have been drilled in 10 years and about that many have been reclaimed. Plus the Bakken traffic doesn't make its way anywhere that I'd say roadkill would have an effect. And why such a hard change...

    Badlands mule deer

    Oh is this on queue! All I can say is in two short years it has changed for me big time. We had 8 tags in the close family/friend category. WAAAAAAYYYYYYY too many at once. Crazy to think since all put in separate. Long story short, 3 did not fill. And not one filled over a 160 class...

    Now we see why those Tourney Sak weights are so big

    Its kinda sorta obvious isn’t it? The lake reached its prime after year classes allowed to mature. Future great spawn and stocking allowed for new stacks of class. Things are now finally truly banner. Good times where don’t need to even consider. - - - Updated - - - Evidently by most replies...

    Now we see why those Tourney Sak weights are so big

    Wow, just finished up the 6 pages. Oh how I don’t miss the baby sitting. Some really big blanked stero-typed statements being thrown around!! Do me a favor (all us shit ethic piece of trash tourney folk) and whip out that cell phone you got in your pocket and take a vid or photo the next time...

    4bears tourney

    Was the Yar in the photo the fastest? If so, no it didn't win. Cut a check though. Well they had to pay to 31 because a ticket entry got lost for another team who didn't get their weight added up right and they took 26th so 30th would have unfortunately been bumped. I heard good things for...

    AIM Weekend Walleye Series resumes play

    AIM or any catch and release tournament will not have a 100% success rate. We obviously all know that. We also know that catch and kill tournaments kill 100% of the fish that go into the livewell. Its unfair to say catch and kill tourneys kill all fish caught because people throw back...

    Aim 2017 Yamaha Team of the Year Points

    Yeah, I got lucky and two of the top teams in AIM points last year got a top 5 in the ND State Championship and opened door for two teams. We were 7th in points and got in. So my old junk got pulled to the true Big Muddy for the National Championship. Made mistakes on fishing Pool 3 too early...

    Berkley Slow Death Hooks

    Yes, Flickers can be finicky SOBs. Very rarely do I not have to tune them. But they definitely are tuneable. The hooks are VERY sharp. Just weak. Issue is gottabe careful with replacement hooks as they just don't seem to swim the same with heavier hooks. I bought some Berkley slow roll to see...

    Ross stopped by to visit on the Mississippi a couple times and I was going to ask why he hangs out with that Tim P. character!

    Van Hook Classic 2017

    Personally I would have preferred a SE wind. It was much more fishable because it was big rollers. Very big but easily backtrollable. The west wind created a choppy mess.

    Where the F*** is Vollmer?

    Good stuff. When I left Ward County that's when the revolution began. The county offered lots of free time in spring, fall and winter to properly run a website. Summer was busy busy. Tell BW to fill you in on the stories. Watch out. He's a wild one.

    Sakakawea NWT

    Could be dead fish or it could be late. Don't know which. Normally would go with late but when you got guys running 110 miles the fish may be struggling so wouldn't be surprised some were dead fish? Don't know.

    Sakakawea NWT

    Mornin' Ahab. No, I don't think it is a finesse bite unless you think a finesse bite is pitching jigs/cranks up shallow or trolling cranks. When you catch fish in shallow water I don't consider finesse a requirement. They are active. Now for Jason with 20 plus bag, don't know what he is...

    Sakakawea NWT

    Dead fish I have to assume. - - - Updated - - - Ha. No. I want to say I think weights will be lower. Cooling water from east wind and making any pitching and rigging bites a bit more tricky with boat control. But I know on Saturday prefish the bigger winds lite some prefishing up for...
