    Any ice yet?

    People have been walking on the ice in ND for a few days now. 4 wheelers on some of the smaller lakes.

    Gratis Tags

    The issue in ND is that its 93% private land. It's a fine line for the game and fish and legislature to have opportunity for non- land owners to draw tags, while not pissing off land owners and reducing gratis tags. even though the animals don't belong to the land owners, they're mostly on...

    How they still have leftover doe tags anywhere is beyond me. There's a unit by me that has terrible deer numbers (like most of the state), but had a few hundred leftover doe tags available.

    150 acres. 640 would be better, but I don't ever see that getting passed through the legislature.

    The solution is more habitat, but good luck with that.

    interesting shot from a "hunting celebrity"

    I'm sure it's all straight from the heart... I think the moral of the story is when in doubt, fling an arrow. You just might clip the neck

    interesting shot from a "hunting celebrity"

    Hopefully the link works. if not youtube "Archery Mule Deer- Giant 212 Alberta Buck" Skip to about the 7 minute mark. When the deer stopped, I thought "there's definitely no shot." guess i was wrong....

    Deer Hunters - Opinion

    From what I've seen and heard this year, i would say deer numbers are down around 50% where I live ( North Central part of the state). That might be a conservative estimate. It might be closer to around 75% down from the last few years. Last winter was tough on them, but habitat loss is our...

    Favorite catfish bait

    I agree with the comments about fresh cut bait. Where i use to fish them a lot (Red River, Manitoba) fresh caught goldeye cut into 2-3 inch chunks was hard to beat. also did really well most days with suckers cut into 2-3 inch chunks. I'd freeze the suckers that were caught earlier in the year...

    ammo for 7 MM Rem Mag (1/8 twist)

    Thank you for the responses. Chevyman181, I'll be using factory ammo. Hoping to practice up to 500 yards, but will probably limit hunting shots to 400 yards. Does anyone have experience with the 168 grain Berger Hybrid Hunter?

    ammo for 7 MM Rem Mag (1/8 twist)

    Hello, I recently ordered a Seekins 7 mm mag. With the 1 in 8 barrel twist, does anyone have any recommendations for style/grain of bullet to try? It will be used for deer, antelope, and hopefully another elk or two at some point. Thank you.

    ND HB 1151

    valid point about outdoor legislation in the past and future. I think what many people worry about is where the line is drawn.

    ND HB 1151

    So do you think all game and fish management should be up to the legislature since they're elected? Or just the rules you disagree with?

    ND HB 1151

    Forgot to add that this will only be the start....we're now on a slippery slope of game management. Let's re-visit this thread in two years at the next legislative session to see what new bills are introduced. Perhaps over the counter rifle buck tags? If that's what the people want, why not?
