They reshuffle the brackets based on seeding after each week. Highest seed always plays lowest seed ... so if Commanders or Packers win they would go to Detroit. If Packers, Commanders, and Vikings all win ... the Vikings would become the 2nd highest seed and get a home game.

Thanks - corrected

ND gravel roads are much better than the secondary roads across most of SD. SD secondary roads are the absolute worst. But ND is not very hospitable for much of January except for maybe the far western part of the state. January hunting in ND is not a destination that I would say ... I am...

Montgomery remains inactive for the Lions is a plus for the Vikes.

Good luck. You the only one out there ? I am sure you do not see much local traffic either ... farmers are in hibernation or in Arizona at their 2nd home. Most traffic is probably people heading into town for supper and attending the local HS BB game.

Decent season but weather really kind of sucked at times. Warm at times, too dry early, windy more than not, not enough light snow later, fog at the end. My main dog got kennel cough which took him out of action for a week or so (first dog ever to get this) and my young dog injured his paw...

Really ? ... I should let it go, but heck it is -22F with windchill and I am sitting here. In an era were hunter retention and recruitment is largely in trouble the actions in the other thread make little sense. I grew up with and have hunted and fish with multiple G&F and USF&WS biologists...

Years ago, North Dakota simplified their rules as best they could. They moved all bird seasons to 30 minutes before sunrise to avoid confusion, conflict and excuses.

In most states this is true including Minnesota. In MN it is not just a simple hunting license, but a pheasant stamp and possibly a WIA permit too.

Unless someone shows me otherwise ... someone walking along with a hunter is fine. Walking along is hardly assisting ... Here is what I am seeing: Walking along is hardly assisting ... Here is the rule for turkey and prairie chicken (in Minnesota) ... where you can specifically be...

Game wardens are not always right. Years (many years ago) I was pulled over by a game warden. Our truck was full of decoys and gear, but he asked to see all our dead birds. He then proceeded to say you are in trouble for having too many hen pintails. I asked him to point out those birds...

In Minnesota ... you can call turkeys for another hunter without having a license for yourself. Just no guiding for a fee.

My wife has walked with me often enough. More often ruffed grouse hunting on trails in the woods. There is no need to purchase a license and why would you ? Game warden was out of line with his comments. Hope it did not ruin their afternoon and now she is reluctant to tag along again.

Agree. Dogs stay inside with me. I have had them sleep in my truck at a cabin or two and a farm where it was just better for them to be there and the location was remote… no stranger danger

My dogs have always rode inside the truck. It is why in part I own a large SUV instead of a pick up truck. The upper Midwest can be hot in September (and in recent years October) and extremely cold in late season. My dogs are indoor dogs. I have never felt the need to have them wear a vest...

Combo hunt awhile back. Pretty good day for sure.

These photos are from quite some time ago, back when I chased waterfowl as much as upland. My Britts were asked to do it all. She had a 30 bird morning that day.

If you believe the coaching staff .... Vikings also rotate a lot of players into the game especially late and if they have a good lead. It is about getting to the end in one piece (not just talking injuries, but just overall health and energy to win the next game). We will see I suppose if...

Listen to KOC interviews with Paul Allen. They should be on podcasts. He is very open in his conversations about team philosophy, coaching plans, perseverance, etc... He said today to think many of the experts at the beginning of the season had the Vikings picking 1st in the 2025 draft.

Your gear and vehicle need to be in top condition. Growing up in ND I hunted in single digit and even below zero (if zero wind), but that was usually one day and more often just an afternoon. Five straight days 10AM to sunset - can't imagine it is much fun. If the snow is manageable - sure...
