    Is that so?

    Every right comes with limits, like it or not. And seeing how recklessly so many of my fellow Americans handle weapons, I'm happy that all military munitions aren't available to the masses.

    How dry is western North Dakota?

    I was talking with my farming family this winter about erosion practices as we watched all sorts of windrows windbreaks get burned/pulled. They said the dust bowl will never happen again due to changes in tillage practices, something about how they turn things over differntly now. Then this...

    Hearing protection

    Otto noizebarrier. Three years, use them all summer dog training and in the duck blind during the fall. Add on comply tips (amazon) and you'll forget you're wearing them. Little bit cheaper than the sound gears.

    Area to Throw Some Clays in Metro

    When I moved here from Iowa, I couldn't believe I had to pay a private place to shoot clays. Iowa had public ranges that I could throw my own. There is no such thing close to the cities that I'm aware of.

    More bombast, nothing to worry about here - right?

    Literally the first word of the thread you started. You feeling ok?

    Tell me this isn't smokin' hot

    Believe it or not, a major metropolitan hospital system has lots of employees. In my department alone, pharmacy, I have over 200 people that I work directly with. Add on doctors nurses respiratory therapists, it adds up. And I call BS on the part about healthcare workers choosing not to get...

    Tell me this isn't smokin' hot

    those thousand people were all my fellow healthcare professionals that were vaccinated when the first round was made available here in Minnesota. So it came from first first-hand accounts with my fellow coworkers. The CDC is also running a post vaccine survey to see what kinds of effects people...

    Tell me this isn't smokin' hot

    It still amazes me that people think the entire world is being bamboozled by this pandemic.

    Tell me this isn't smokin' hot

    From my experience in helping vaccinate over a thousand people at my hospital, your second dose shouldn't be much worse than your first. Six months of immune memory is encouraging though.

    SD Open Fields Doctrine soon to be gone.

    Lol folks about to find out that you have no right to say whatever you want on this forum...private site can make their own rules. Mods here tend to not like uncivilized talk.

    Seresto Flea Collar Linked to Almost 1,700 Pet Deaths

    I've got more insight to the counterfeit problem than most (married to a patent and trademark attorney). Here are the rules we try to abide by. 1) You get what you pay for (aka too good be true, probably is) 2) Avoid online marketplaces if possible (amazon, ebay, etc) 3) If you do order...

    SD Open Fields Doctrine soon to be gone.

    Sounds like you get it. A play off of the ole "speak softly but carry a big stick".

    SD Open Fields Doctrine soon to be gone.

    Yeah, pretty much. For example, I had just arrived in SD. I wasn't hunting that day, hadn't even bought my license yet. I got stopped at a mandatory game check. I know I looked like a hunter, but I was at that point just a civilian driving. They still made me pull off the road, get in line, and...

    SD Open Fields Doctrine soon to be gone.

    I'm generally in favor of more muted police powers, from local on up to federal (and don't even get me started on border patrol/ICE), but this seems like unfair privilege to landowners vs non-landowners. Why should people on private land get to pursue (the people's) game without fear of game...

    Federal, CCI, Speer and Remington Ammunition

    I was just a wee lad back in '08, but even I remember panic buying when Obama got elected. And after every school shooting. Toilet paper. Hand sanitizer. Bullets. It's all self inflicted by hysteria. Here's a pro tip. If you believe in ammo companies, BUY THEIR STOCK! Business will be booming...

    just returned...final trip???? and a fashion tip!

    I was in SD the same days as you, but got outta there when the weather turned. Cattails sure had birds, but it was just me and the dogs and all the dumb roosters are dead. Shot two roosters over the pup, so it was all gravy for me. The old dog did her thing and put me on the birds that sat...

    CZ Drake over under

    Had one and sold it. Heavy trigger, sticky safety, very mediocre quality. Find a used "B" for a few hundred bucks more is a better option. Mine was a 20, and my 686 in 12 gauge is more enjoyable to shoot.

    Best breed for finding cripples

    Teaching dogs to track is a blast, and also super useful. I'd say that when pheasant hunting the upper midwest, my dogs are in thick enough cover that they only mark 50% of the time. And most birds are shot over points! I usually have to manually get my dog to the AOF, then let her do her...

    Best breed for finding cripples

    If you asked me to buy a bird tracking dog sight unseen, it would have to be a drahthaar. Reason being, those dog's aren't even bred unless the dam and sire have shown ability to track. Highest chance of success, if you ask me. Tracking is different than marking. Labs take the cake there, no...
