    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I believe the written testimony from Mr. Anderson and Mr. Banhson addressed many of the concerns voiced on this site. They directly confirmed what I assumed their stance has been and I have tried to explain. Unfortunately, it was met with mockery. I gave you the play cards and yet not a single...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I will try to shed a different light I guess. Last summer, the Federal Subsistence Board shut down millions of acres of land to caribou hunting by nonlocals in northwest Alaska. The same thing has happened with sheep in central AK and deer in southeast AK. Both you and me are now locked out of...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    It's an internal sample. The data is taken from the tag on the deer. The sample ID is tied to the tag # so the sample can be tied back to the unit and hunter. That's how they contact folks who have had a positive sample. Think of it like if bodies were just piled up and you later came in to...

    Ultimate Ahab?

    Here’s a better example of the moose I shot this year. We took this photo as a joke and no one has ever seen it. I HATE this photo. Sit on his ass and pin down his ears so there is no size reference. Angle the antler tops away so the inside gap is larger. Is this a 45 inch bull or a 75 inch...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Bingo. I knew form the beginning this anecdote would be nearly impossible for people to grasp so I tapped out early. Also, 90% of the comments are arguing and making "gotcha" statements that have nothing to do with the point NDGF is trying to make. We will see if they can indeed "show their...

    Ultimate Ahab?

    I can't understand catching/shooting something massive and then taking a picture that removes any sort of size reference. Same with a picture of someone sitting on the ass of a big deer/elk/moose. Drives me insane. It's already big, just hold it up normal or sit next to it so people can see and...

    Depredation ELK tags for Landowners

    The inner hippie/environmental part of me feels like it takes a lot of gall to put a ranch somewhere elk/deer/whatever live and then complain about the elk/deer/whatever eating you out of home. Depredation tags should not be awarded until the landowner has shown that they have made an honest...

    Outdoor Job Opportunity for College Kid

    Yes sir! Typically he has one or two openings a year. If you have social media, you can give them a follow and he usually posts up the job openings around this time of year. My brother actually took a job with him a couple summers ago after leaving UND with an aviation degree. Instead of...

    Outdoor Job Opportunity for College Kid

    One of my best buddies just posted his job openings for the year. He runs an outfitting/transporter business for world class moose hunting and wilderness fishing out of Bethel, AK. If you got a college age kid/grandkid/friend that is looking to get into aviation, outfitting/guiding, or just...

    Pittbull breed, what do you think?

    Then attacks should either result in the owner getting charged with attempted murder or settled in civil court. Civil court negotiations are up to the person/family attacked. I get whatever financial compensation I want if you dog attacks my kid, you can accept those terms or you can sit in the...

    Bites of the Past

    We have a video somewhere of catching perch there and as you'd pull one through others would literally follow through the hole and onto the ice. It was pure insanity. I remember white bass one after another as a kid on Oahe casting a twister tail and jig from the dock. A couple very hot...

    Sitka gear…..$$$$

    This right here. Prana and Eddie Bauer make a better pant that dries faster compared to anything the hunting companies are putting out. Mountain hardware, REI, and eddie bauer are all making puffy pants and jackets that are no different than the hunting brands. Grundens and HH are both making...

    Baiting Ban

    No, believe it or not, wildlife still eats if there isn't a corn pile. Even if there is a corn pile at the end of the rainbow, I would and do hunt the trail and not the pile. Animal behavior is the single most important tool for a hunter and it's the last thing talked about. I don't hunt sheep...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    If this is the precedent we wish to set in how wildlife management is done, predator hunting will be outlawed in nearly all 50 states in no time. Careful what you're cheering on here.

    Baiting Ban

    Last I contacted Dan he was down in Tennesse. That was five years ago. I've talked to him at length on the subject. Probably thousands of hours talking wildlife disease in general with Dan. I never had even somewhat of an impression that his take on CWD management or wildlife disease in...

    Delivery Drivers

    Tale as old as time, people bitching about the generation that they raised...... Part of the why has already been covered. High school and most college kids don't have to work. That's because of their parents and not them. I sure as shit wouldn't have worked through college if my parents were...

    Delivery Drivers

    Yeup, see post #2. Complain too much to the company and you may not have another delivery driver for 6 months. I have orange markers at my place too. They have all been ripped out by the city plow drivers. And I put them far out of the way and onto my property so they should not be an issue...

    Wildlife stress

    I guess I have a hard time disagreeing with this. Deer were essentially a timber species up until about 70 years ago. The Shelter Belt Program went into place from 1935-1942, likely none of them reached effectiveness for 20 years and then it took a while for dispersal to occur. I wasn't hunting...
