What's legal firearms for big game in ND?

How do Goldens do in the cold/wet duck blinds.

If you build it, they will come. lol

Stepped into the long glass out back today, and wow, hundreds of half inch long grass hoppers. Pretty good food source for the young'ns.

One of the sporting mags, in the "vets" corner, says use 50% white vinegar and 50% alcohol...vinegar kills the bacteria and the alcohol dries the ear out quickly.

Found a tracking handheld while running my dog at the Sand Prairie WMA, Minn. this A.M. You or friend can reply here...will have to ID by brand, color, etc.

No 16ga available.

Had a pair of the Filson, goat skin(?) gloves, paper thin, but tough as nails. After 5-6 yrs I thought they could use some conditioning. Well, I took the advise of the wrong person and used conditioner that turned the gloves into "grease rags". In an effect to remove the conditioner, I heated...

Just thinking about what prices crop farmers are paying to lease land...per acre? I imagine price/acre may vary with size of lease. And, not talking about leasing to hunt.

I'm waiting until they offer a 28ga that shoots a 5in shell, loaded with 4oz of shot to take pheasant hunt.

Personally, I've never found the difference between 28&30in to matter in the heavy brush (grouse woods). To me, balance of the gun in my hands is more important. Of course, everyone carries their gun differently so you have to find a gun that feels right for you.
