I would definitely go for a bear rug like yours- tanned, no felt. But I don’t have a desire to shoot one. Maybe I can get one from a souvenir shop in Alaska someday!

I would also leave in a heartbeat. Unfortunately my wife opened a business that she’s committed to for a minimum of 7 years and our parents are aging. We could move anywhere along I29 and be close enough to our parents. I sure hope she’s willing to move once our daughters are out of high school… if ...

I have a lot of stuff in my basement… just for transparency , there are no legendary MN H20fowlers down there… this post pertains to two of the things in my basement: A box of baseball cards and the dream that they could be worth more than $100.

I was on a small lake and Plantagenet by Bemidji on Saturday. Both had a measured foot of ice.

Wife and I ice fished a lot before we had kids. I miss going out frequently enough to s...

Maybe Nershi can bring back a wife/maid/cook/housekeeper! Good luck fishing and post pics when you return.

I know of a recently divorced fellow who “met a real nice woman in Thailand and is marrying her”

Ufda, sorry to hear it… that’s crazy.

And soon the dnr will use it for a rearing pond or the farmer will stock it

I’m not really serious about stocking pheasants and mallards but I do think fish stocking is stupid. Why should hunters have to be stuck with natural production but anglers get fish stocking? You look at the money that’s wasted on walk in areas, etc… doesn’t add one pheasant to the population. Could...

I think it’s pretty safe to say that without conservation groups our natural resources would be in a lot worse shape. Arguing DU/Delta or good/bad isn’t really the issue. If you like a group or have any chance or reason to help out, you are doing right by the resource. Of course projects without mai...
