    Did it make the jump?

    We finally have had some CWD cases in our immediate neighborhood - it's been coming. So I guess we'll start testing kills. I did have an old family friend (well...early 50's - not that old) die of CJD a few years ago. Not from a hunting family, so less likely to be a connection. Horrible way...

    Want a canoe, know nothing about them

    Nice boats - guessing here, but Mad River on the right and Souris River on the left?

    Want a canoe, know nothing about them

    Thanks for the additional info. You'll have to make decisions about where to give, as the canoe you need is going to be a unicorn. If budget were no object, I'd say a heavier Kevlar layup prospector or similar downriver hull...but perhaps something in a lighter material like Tuf-weave or...

    Want a canoe, know nothing about them

    I currently own 6 canoes - extended wilderness tripping is part of my/our lives, and I was paddling yesterday. First: Tandem or Solo? Second: How big/strong are you? Loading a 75# canoe is wildly different than a 40# canoe for most mere mortals. Third: When you say camp...overnighters...

    Crossing Canda border

    As pointed out, a DUI can be a real issue. Foods - nothing fresh, just packaged foods, & you should be OK. A couple years ago we were in line to cross into Canada...a single line, maybe a dozen vehicles. Two in front of us was a pickup hauling a fishing boat. Those guys thought that they...

    How do you carry bow elk hunting CO? Bow Hitch worth it?

    I also bought those Marsupial clips and put them on my bino harness. Completely agree that they are not the solution when you are moving. Tried that and it's a fail. But those times where I need two hands and don't want to put the bow down...nice for that.

    Canoe hunts

    There is not - I'm betting that canoe is going to get towed by another one.

    Switched dogs to raw diet...WOW

    Another "raw diet" question for those more knowledgeable: How about fish & fish bones? I do lengthy remote wilderness canoe trips and Walleye, Pike, Lake Trout and Smallmouth are on the menu regularly. I've fed her cooked fish, but am curious about raw fish and about the bones - both cooked...

    Kuiu kutana vs attack

    I wear attacks every day around the house/office during the cooler months. Very comfy. They also are great for me for cold weather pheasant hunting. The Kutanas are lighter and tougher, and are my early-season archery (Pronghorn & WT) pant. If I could only have one, it would be the Kutanas.

    Switched dogs to raw diet...WOW

    Reporting back.... Feeding my dog whole, raw pheasant legs has been a huge problem. She now won't eat her kibble and wants nothing but raw pheasant legs. :-)

    Rental car limiting your hunt?

    Switched dogs to raw diet...WOW

    Late to the parade, as usual. Any issues with feeding my dog raw, whole pheasant legs with the bones?

    Roof Damage Home Owners Insurance Question...

    I just went through this - took a while, but a hail storm from a couple years ago (some fist-sized hail) dented enough shingles and gutters that the insurance company agreed to replace, less my eye-watering deductible. Still, $45K new roof (old one was 20 years old) for the price of the...
