I’ll try to add one since there hasn’t been much traffic on here lately. I got this one last week thanks to my 30 yr old (and pregnant) daughter that came along with me on the trip and also thanks to a very special family of friends. We met on HT about 13 years ago I believe. He helped teach me...
I’m just glad you got to spend some time in the mountains together. I’ve been doing the same with my daughter this week and that means more than any bear rug will. Best wishes on the transplant and all the future hunts together!
I would steer you towards the NE corner of SD as well. You won’t find an off grid home and be able to be self sufficient but there are lots of small communities in the country west of Watertown then up towards Webster and back towards Big Stone Lake. It’s just a matter of what you want in a...
Keep at it and adapt and overcome. Hopefully the baits get hit soon and you can take him to sit on those. Heck maybe just go sit at one anyway. Its still good quality time together. He must be a tough kid! Best wishes!
After reading about Mrs. Fins new boat and seeing another fella post a pic of his side imaging of his helix I thought I'd offer up a tip on the HB Helix Sideimaging. While Mega Side imaging is a great sales gimmick it really only shines on close up targets. I have found that going to a full...
very cool ! can you describe the process? Sadly, someday our grandchildren will have to dig out our old phones instead of photo albums to see what we did in the last half of our lives.
Heck I just wondered if it's some new thing to not have a trigger guard anymore. I don't try to keep up with the latest stuff. I do have a couple of Tikkas so I'm interested in what you're doing. Thx for the clarification.
Now that my Fierce is gone, traded, I will jump in and say that Fierce customer service last year when I bought my carbon rouge 7prc was absolutely terrible and a miserable experience. I had to send it in as it wouldn't group with MANY different factory and hand loads. They said they only...
Of course the 7prc drama has been beat to death but my most accurate hand loads in that gun were in the 2875 fps range. Groups opened up and pressure signs increased when chasing the magical 3000 number. Other guns I've reloaded for have also shot best slightly below max. I have minimal...
Definitely get a guide since you have never done it. Perch patrol on Devils lake is great as are other local guides I'd assume. Go to some South and North Dakota fishing forums for more info. Another option for both perch and walleyes is Webster SD. A lot of the guides there use Snow Bears to...
I have this tent in a 3P I believe. It has served me well. Myself and huntn bud have spent a week in it at a time, even in a snowstorm, but neither are big guys. 2 grown daughters and I slept in it 2 nights and stayed warm due to tight fit! Lightweight and just big enough.
Good shooting Little Lady! And good parenting Dad and all of you other parents that are taking your kids out. I took mine a lot when they were young like that and I'm very blessed to still have one that still does it at age 30. She says our rifle mule deer hunt is her favorite week of the...
I've been a GM guy my whole life, but we have 3 duramax 3/4 tons (2016-2019) in the family and 2/3 have had repetitive and expensive issues with the DEF systems. If you get or have one my non-professional opinion is keep the DEF tank over half full all the time. Several problems with the DEF...
