That is an insult. Yah we need minnesotans to teach us how to fish, just like we need minnesotans to teach us how to hunt. What a joke!!

Thanks outdrznd!! Bill is the dad of the two guys I went to school with. he is a great guy and likes to hunt and fish like you said.

Anyway, I haven't tried to get a hold of that guy yet. I will look him up once I have a couple coyotes in the pickup box! I haven't hunted them in a few years because the price was pretty low for a while, now it sounds like you can make about $100 on a good day! Thanks for all the info. If you are interested in a couple places to look for fox or coyote I can give you a pretty good spot where I know there are some around. My inlaws have a farm and there are getting to be quite a few around their place. They scare my mother in law at night, because she can hear them howling!

Chad, I know of Bill who owns the repair shop. He loves to fish and hunt - a typical ND sportsman. Were you able to contact Wayne Heiden regarding furs?

Chipper, and Jonny

I too thought that article was quite humorous. I rarely read the Heraldo, but the wife saw the article and "just had" to bring it home for me. I have a somewhat unique perspective on the tribal/first American treaties that continue to live past their useful existence having been raised on a ND reservation. I also have a little experience running gill nets on Sakakawea for scientific research. A few observations and comments:

1. Fish caught in a gill net RARELY survive if in the net for any length of time (2 minutes, sure; 30 minutes, maybe; 6+ hrs, doubtful). Notable exceptions are carp, bullheads, and catfish.

2. 25 lb walleye? This would rival the world record. The frozen lawn darts in the pic appeared to be about an 8-10 lb walleye and a 2-3 lb sturgeon. Poor reporting, poor editing, and a complete failure to deliver my paper, are why I no longer read the Heraldo on a regular basis (sorry, but that's just my opinion).

3. Nobody could have envisioned the advent of monofilament/nylon gill nets when the treaties were signed. To say they are "allowed" by the treaty is a stretch on the intent. Look at Red Lake in Minnesota, have the leaders on the reservations learned nothing?

4. Morons who illegally cut these gill nets loose are doing themselves and the fish a disservice. Just because the person who owns the net won't benefit from what the net catches, does not mean the net won't catch and kill fish indiscriminately.

Just my 2 cents errrr, nickels worth

5. Native American populations I am familiar with are the most open to the concept of extended family of any society that I have met in my life. Not saying this is good or bad, just that I believe the person in the article really does feel that he has an extended family of 150.

Saw the article on netting in the GF Heraldo...I have no problem with native americans netting fish to sustain their family, but when you claim 150 plus people as your "extended family" it becomes downright ludicrous!! The DNR or whomever regulates that portion of the river needs to take a much, much closer look at this situation, and act very quickly. I must agree, both the walleye and the sturgeon in the picture appeared to be frozen. (just a little comment, I myself would also release a 25 lb walleye, especially if a news reporter was standing there with me!!)

Chad,

I know of a buyer just south of RJ's Conoco(along I-94 near West Fargo) on the road that goes to Horace from West Fargo. The persons last name is Heiden and I believe his first name is Wayne, the number I have is 282-6030 in the directory.I hope this is will help you.There are three Heidens that live on this farmsite so I'm sure they will direct you in the right place.

Gayle; We fish the Devil a couple of times a year.For perch we use genz worms tipped with waxies or spikes or inticers tipped with a minnow head. Most of the bait shops have a good selection, but Gander Mountain has everything too.For walleyes almost anything works. Our tackle box has jigging rapalas, rattlesnakies, buckshot rattle spoons etc.(LOTS OF DIFFERENT COLORS)Tip these lures with a minnow or pinch off the head and use it. We also have had excellent results using the inticer tipped with a head.I hope this helps, feel free to e-mail me and have a good trip.

Hey Gayle, If you cant get ahold of a Kastmaster, or a Ratfinky, try to find a Jig-A-Whopper. They work fairly well also...

Guns, I think there is a way for students who move to ND to apply as residents (and pay resident rates) for deer, turkey, fishing, etc. BUT, I see you signed in from East Grand Forks. This will probably work against you, as it is intended for students who will reside in ND during the academic year as opposed to just someone tripping across the border for classes.

Just the same, the authority on this is NDGF. Contact them from the below list and they will provide the details on any program they may have going right now.

I have heard of there being a discount for out-of-state licenses for students going to college in ND. If anybody has any enough on this let me know please. I am just wondering if it is a rumor.

Thank you, Guns

Here is a hypothetical. I have a place in Western North Dakota that has a cabin with no running water, no electricity and no indoor plumbing. It is located in a place with all natural prairie overlooking a river and with no roads leading in or out. As close to the land as you can be. Would anyone want to stay there?

Chad, We have received $20 - $25 per coyote carcass.

Josh, Anywhere south of Mandan and westward is awsome for p-dogs. Remember, "just ask and the gates may open". A lot of ranchers out there want them thinned out as they cause problems for the livestock....ie - broken legs etc.

Coldy, I would suggest trying the buyer/broker just outside of Cayuga if they are still doing furs. I have not been there in about 6 years as I sell mine to my Uncle in Wing ND who sells to a broker out of Canada.

Enjoy the great outdoors!!!!

Outdrz, I've been doing ok calling just by roaming and looking for tracks. I haven't sold any yet, but I better find a buyer before the prices start dropping. Is there a list anywhere of fur buyers? I bet your boy gets a charge out of hunting them. A buddy and I bagged 4 on Wed.- what a blast! Good luck to both of you.

I am a college student from Minnesota and I am interested in finding areas to hunt prairie dogs in western North Dakota. It seems that non-resident hunting is quite a controversial issue here, but if you would like to get rid of some p-dogs, or know anybody who would and can tolerate non-resident hunters, please let me know. Any information would be very much appreciated as I am new to this.

Thanks a lot

Have you received $20-$25 A piece for Coyote or fox pelts? or $20-$25 for 5 pelts? I have heard they are growing again in population, hopefully they are not to tough on the pheasant population.

Coldy,

Hey, nice to get a response from someone in the neighborhood. I and my 13 yr old son have bagged 5 of them. The price I have been paid is around $20.00 to $25.00. I don't trap, I shoot them with my Rem 22-250 and my son uses his 22Mag. Have you seen many in/around your area? We have seen the most west of Fort Ransom and southward. I was advised to check with some farmers near Gackle and Kulm regarding coyote problems with the ranchers livestock. I would imagine any "local establishment" in Gackle or Kulm would be able to give me some whereabouts on locating some yotes. I hope to do some scouting this weekend as it is suppose to be fairly nice. Goodluck, Coldy.....keep me posted on your activities and prices!! Oh, by the way, where do you sell your hides/carcasses. Have you ever gone to the fur buyer near Cayuga?
