What's legal firearms for big game in ND?

How do Goldens do in the cold/wet duck blinds.

If you build it, they will come. lol

Stepped into the long glass out back today, and wow, hundreds of half inch long grass hoppers. Pretty good food source for the young'ns.

One of the sporting mags, in the "vets" corner, says use 50% white vinegar and 50% alcohol...vinegar kills the bacteria and the alcohol dries the ear out quickly.

Found a tracking handheld while running my dog at the Sand Prairie WMA, Minn. this A.M. You or friend can reply here...will have to ID by brand, color, etc.

No 16ga available.

Had a pair of the Filson, goat skin(?) gloves, paper thin, but tough as nails. After 5-6 yrs I thought they could use some conditioning. Well, I took the advise of the wrong person and used conditioner that turned the gloves into "grease rags". In an effect to remove the conditioner, I heated...

I think most people will be quicker to shy away from shorter barrels than longer. For use in open country a lot of people are trending to longer barrels, especially in 20ga and 28ga. Remember, a sxs doesn't have a "receiver", so a 30in barrel on a sxs will measure about the same overall length...

I have a pair of Pyramex V2, Reader Bifocals, from SafetyglassesUSA. Plastic lens (very clear plastic) with cheater lens. My pair is the "indoor/outdoor" ones. Very, very slight yellow lens, real good for cloudy and low light conditions. $8.79/pr

Matt and Remy, thanks for the replies...very helpful.

If you liked the wing shooters, exempt for the traction, and the boots can be resoled, send them into Redwing and have a more aggressive Vibram soles put on them. Should run around $60-70?

Just thinking about what prices crop farmers are paying to lease land...per acre? I imagine price/acre may vary with size of lease. And, not talking about leasing to hunt.

I'm waiting until they offer a 28ga that shoots a 5in shell, loaded with 4oz of shot to take pheasant hunt.

Personally, I've never found the difference between 28&30in to matter in the heavy brush (grouse woods). To me, balance of the gun in my hands is more important. Of course, everyone carries their gun differently so you have to find a gun that feels right for you.

Dad always referred to them as "commercials", but that was from the old timey days. These days mom & pop's everywhere list them as Hot Beef and/or Hot Pork, on menus.

On the road going north out of Nimrod there is a DNR plot (maybe 80-120 acres) developed for sharpies. Don't know how successful it is, and haven't been that way for a couple years...not open to hunting, of course.

Making a donation to NC may help in obtaining a map the their properties.

I thought the DNR closed the season on Sharpies last year? Just found last years' regs...open in NW section only, above HWY 2, 71, 1, and 53.

So Wednesday, and Lucy wasn't improving; more blood flow than spotting, blood turned real red, and not eating at all. Got an emergency appointment with my regular vet. Vet did blood work and ultrasound. Bloodwork reveled white cell count was over the top limit. Vet said most likely a uterus...
