Yes - I would say every 2-3 years. You can see your odds in each zone per annual report. Preference points help tremendously.

Here is another example (other side of the world) where the drive for bio-energy is truly a detriment to the environment. https://news.mongabay.com/2022/07/deforestation-in-borneo-threatens-one-in-four-orangutans-study-says/ Companies like P&G source most all of their requirements (used to...

Corn for fuel (ethanol) widely displacing CRP grass. Conservation on the local and regional level rarely win vs. the "AGENDA".

I have never been drawn two consecutive years. Last year the online site was initially inaccurate stating we were not drawn and even showed that the preference point had went up 1. Then the success letter came in the mail ... checked online and sure enough it said we were drawn. Links to...

Air to locate. Air/ground to find downed bird. If my dogs are released off point and start to ground scent ... they be running.

Napolean is in the South Central part of ND. Decent area most years. It is now corn country so keep that in mind when deciding when to go.

One issue I have with the current administration is move from the US being net neutral (actually slightly net exporter) of natural gas and oil back to a net importer. All it did was raise prices and maybe more importantly provide $$ to other nations (often used to support war, confilict, and...

How about outboard boat motors especially two cycle engines ? Two of my favorite fishing spots are small lakes where all I use is a 12' or 14' aluminum boat and electric trolling motor.

You would be quite surprised at Exxon's R&D commitments into green endeavors.

I love my battery driven tools and ice auger. In each case the value proposition of the cord free, battery-operated power tool is quite high. Regarding ice augers, most people never utilize the few advantages they may offer. My next lawn mower will be electric because the technology is there...

The Minneapolis-based utility ceased operations at one of three generating units at the 1,700-megawatt Sherco last year and has plans to shutter the remaining two units in 2026 and 2030, respectively. In its place, Xcel is investing $1.1 billion in three solar farms with a combined 710 MW of...

Anyone every put panels on their house or cabin? Is there a real economic impact to your electricity costs or is it just an adrenaline rush tied to doing your part on climate change. Walz's 2040 MN energy plan will accelerate sun and wind generated power in MN. Rumor (maybe real) is that if...

I think windmills are OK in pheasant country. We have shot pheasants near one on several occasions. That said, I view them as a landscape eyesore. Solar farms basically take the land out of grass, pasture, cleared woodlot, what ever. Habitat gone and obviously hunting gone too. There...

John I agree steel #3s are what we use ... only on Federal land though.

Old shotguns with old barrels have been my only reason to shoot bismuth ... usually I just use them where I can still shoot lead.

Marketing more often than not works and for many outdoorsmen a higher price means "must be better" or "more exclusive". This is true in just about everything in life ... clothing, haircuts, restaurants, outdoor hobbies, sporting equipment ... BOSS has done a great job marketing and if...

Bird flu tends to impact waterfowl especially snow geese more than upland birds. Unless you are hunting near a chicken or turkey farm infected with bird flu I think the odds are darn low.

Steaks with potato on the side, pizza - loaded with toppings you bring and put on yourself, pasta (with meat, sauce) and garlic toast ... sausage/white sauce or hamburger/red sauce wild game with rice and/or vegetable stir fry ... Egg - sausage/bacon - on english muffins for breakfast ...

I live on the east side of the metro. The place I hunted was almost exactly 150 miles door to field. Not near Marshall ... it used to be much better area a decade ago. Neither spot has any Huns that I have ever seen or heard.

Food costs can vary a bunch based on homemade vs. going out and where you chose to go out. Just saying ....
