    NW ND prairie bird count dropped significantly

    The report hasn’t come out yet, but a well placed source knows the report that comes out soon…Huns dropped a lot, sharpies as well, not quite as much. More steps! That’s the answer…🍻

    Nebraska sharptails.

    I contact huns regularly, and they’re the reason I have changed to #6 lead…not a terrible idea to use 6’s for sharpies, but huns shock me regularly as to their toughness, so I just shoot #6 lead for both…

    Aberdeen or Watertown?

    I’d pick Aberdeen…a bit closer to other attractive destinations in both Dakota’s…and better hunting in the immediate area I’d say, as well. But no consideration being paid to anything else…like location of family, jobs, etc. I don’t mind Watertown, I’d find myself heading west anytime I went...

    Yeah, sometimes just 5-7 miles away it’s 20 degrees different. I’m sitting in my van now, on park point, it’s 73…no lake breeze, but not bad. Gonna walk the dogs, do it twice daily, usually. There’s a 2-3 acre field unmowed that I take my puppy in first, resembles sharptail cover…she enjoys...

    Cooking Own Meals at the Motel

    I’ve done country style ribs in the crock pot with some success…dump a can of sweet sauerkraut (fennel) over the top, maybe some sliced apples, a bit of cinnamon…6-8 hours on warm or low…just the kraut works well…
