I have 2 and possibly 5 trips west planned for this year. The first is a family visit to eastern Washington, and instead of the truck/travel trailer, may end up taking the Ford Escape. BUT, the hunting trips will be in the PU, as it's hard to travel on horrible backroads, sleep in the back...

Another accepted name for them is lawyer. Which leads to the joke, "What's the difference between a Burbot and a lawyer? " A. - One is a scum sucking bottom feeder and the other one is a fish.

I was able to order 3 cases of 12 ga. trap loads, direct from Federal. Twice the price of a couple years ago. Federal has been good about making sure our high school trap team has a years supply......not sure of the price we paid for that, but we have some good donations that cover most of the...

Good advice. If I don't draw with 4 pts. this year, my only out of state hunting option may be in Ukraine. At least the license fee is reasonable, and there is no bag limit.

I am able to moderate my driving options, but living 22 miles from the nearest small town means that we still have to get out sometime. BUT, my bigger concern is that I still have to heat my house. Can a Tesla do that?

I was surprised to find a whole shelf full of ammo at the local Fleet Farm store a couple days ago. For over a year, all they had was a SORRY sign on the 30 feet of shelves that had previously been fully stocked. There were cases of Federal .556 mil. spec. (Green Tip), but still no 30-06.

After a lot of snow shoveling off the roof and deck, I even started up my exercise routine again. I always have the extra incentive to look a bit buff for the cute young Dr. who gives me my physical at the VA next month.

Nice setup.

All these various referendums should also have a part B that states that those who vote in favor will also pay for it if it passes. A common ref. on the county level are votes on a school levy. When they pass, at least all the taxpayers pay for it. On the wolf refs. it is likely that the...

Thanks Kid. Our elevation is about 1,600'. The original building was built by the Youth Conservation Corps in 1937 using the "Swedish Cope" method, supervised by several first generation Fins. The building was used as our community golf course club house for over 40 years, and when they...

Here's some pics from my latest bout with the snow Gods. This is just 30 yards of my driveway that is a mile long.

Don't waste your time and $ looking for deer in NE MN. There are still lots of deer in the transition zone....farms, woods, no wolves. I doubt if I'll even buy a tag this year, after 53 years. BUT, I should draw a WY elk tag, and if I'm really lucky maybe even two.

I have the Tikka stainless "Super Lite". This was a Cabela's special, 5# 8 oz. I got mine in 30-06 and have no complaints on the recoil, tho the pad is quite hard. My bro-in-law got his in 300 WSM and complained of the recoil, so he had the barrel ported and upgraded the recoil pad. I did...

I've been working on my stripper kayak between bouts of snow plowing and shoveling. We're at 85" so far with an average of 79" for a regular winter. March is often our big snow month, and if this continues I may well have to just abandon plowing my mile long driveway and fire up the...

They can do DNA on jerky? HMMMMMMM......

My F1 is the most comfortable pack that I own. I have the batwings, and have only added the "duffle" that I can zip on it. My hunting partner used the F1 for our last pack in elk hunt, and he had the 7500 VAPOR. That bag is huge, and he stuffed it full of things that he didn't need. So, I am...

141 has a lot of wilderness area that would require that you use a guide/outfitter. If that is your intention, then you can do a deep dive into the outfitted hunts that cover that zone.

As a police officer, I attended a class from our local conservation officer concerning cooperation between agencies, and the scope of their duties. The biggest thing that I remembered from that meeting was his statement, "The best way to get a bad law changed is to enforce it." A good...

Great run Marcus. You are smart to focus on your safety over speed, although it looks like your pace was plenty quick. In a couple months after things warm up and the ice and snow are gone, if you want to up your game even further, look into "farlaps" or "windsplints" during your runs. Beware...

Wolves were always around in NE Minnesota, and we averaged 8-14 bucks at our hunting camp for over 50 years. We have had some tough winters before and rebounded quickly, but that no longer happens with 3,500+ wolves in our backyard. In the last 8 years we only shot 4 small bucks during one...
