And if there's no color or spurs, how would that be done? Not like birds have plumbing between their legs like mammals do. If you cannot prove it's a rooster, it's a hen. If you say to an LEO "it cackled so I shot it" but there is nothing beyond that to show any distinction that it's a...

Forgive me but what is a "hunt test?"

Not sure that a game warden would buy that if you were found with one that "cackled" before you shot it. You need to prove that it's not a hen. If there is no color and no spurs, an LEO isn't going to buy that you heard it cackle as evidence of it being a rooster. I need clear visual...

Pretty absurd TBH. Wasn't expecting some areas to be up this much. Pheasants can really proliferate if they have good nesting and reproductive conditions.

Sometimes it's downright remarkable how much cooler it is compared to the rest of the state too. I'll see a temperature map in the middle of July when 95% of the state is sweltering hot/humid, and then the area immediately near Lake Superior is 67.

If it's a rooster within range, I shoot. Once I reach my limit, I quit. This is not a complicated subject. If you can't tell it's a rooster, you don't shoot because hens aren't legal. Also not a complicated subject.

Duluth is ranked as the top location in the entire country most likely to be unaffected by climate change. The reason: the world's largest supply of freshwater that provides a near constant inflow of colder air during droughts and heatwaves. In other words: free air conditioning.

Apparently no one like a knife with serrations huh I'm a Gerber knife user

Something to consider here. Rotating through different kinds of dog food is not a good thing, so the one you select should be readily available. Also, read the labels. Lots of people just buy pet food based on the front that has a wolf and a salmon on it. Don't get sucked into that...

She dislocated her elbow too. They had to pull on her broken arm to get the elbow back in the socket. That had to be unbearable.

I used to waterfowl hunt too. Haven't gone for 5 years now, with no intention of going again on my own will anytime soon. Not enough ducks around here anymore. The migration pattern has shifted them westward. Years of drought have also played a role. But the biggest factor is this: we have...

You can do that in MN too. There's one at every grocery store I frequent. Been there for years.

They asked her if she wanted to go to Bemidji or Fargo, or tolerate the pain and go to one in the Twin Cities. That was a no brainer. I'm sure most people don't consider this sort of thing until they experience a serious medical issue or injury. Lot of people poo poo on Minnesota for its...

Take a loot at the drought monitor. The majority of the country that's east of the Rockies has very little drought.

I believe he's referencing the office location in Plymouth. It's right off hwy 169.

Or need basically any type of serious health care. My Mother was at Lake of the Woods the week before last and broke her arm in multiple spots. Can't conduct orthopedic surgery at a rural hospital in Baudette. Not a trauma center. My point is that if you need anything more than stitches in a...

I would definitely not want my kids to attend those public schools if I could avoid it. 5 miles west and you'll get significantly better schools.

You're right, I worded that incorrectly. I should have stated second "attempt."

I noticed a surplus of grasshoppers this past week too. Usually they are plentiful around Labor Day. The cicadas have been quite loud the last couple weeks too.

I spent a decent amount of time today traversing the hunting area I frequent each season. I was able to secure permission to hunt at 9 out of 10 locations. The only spot I couldn't was because no one was home. Each landowner said they have seen and heard birds. Some more than others. One...
