I heard yesterday that someone shot a 28 pt white tail with an arrow within the last few weeks up by Harvey. Is it true? Where can I find pics?

This just in guys-

"Potential safety issue with the valve in the Big Buddy heaters."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mr. Heater has recently discovered a potential safety issue with the valve in the Big Buddy heaters. Under certain circumstances, the valve manufactured by Chant Group Zhongshan Chant Gas-Appliances Co., Ltd. may leak and may constitute a fire hazard.

Mr. Heater has reported the issue to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and will work with the Commission on an appropriate corrective action.

You should immediately stop sale and quarantine any of the units listed above.

Mr. Heater is in the process of obtaining improved valves, and producing replacement heaters not affected by this issue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please note: this “safety notice” does not effect any of the other quality products produced by Mr. Heater, including the “Portable Buddy.”

Attention fishermen!

The wind has been blowing steadily for the last four days. The temperatures are low for this time of year and might make a fishing trip uncomfortable. Check the weather before planning your trip.

Can anyone tell me if there are any pay to shoot areas near Oakes? My wife and I purchased a small farmstead outside of Oakes and were taking care of my father inlaw who is living there. We plan to retire there in a few years but we are non - residents at this point. Within 8 miles of our place there are a few plots but I really don't want to sleep in my truck to enjoy a day with my wife and dogs ( this is our first year ). I love ND and I'm working with the NRCS to plant natural ND seed throughout the property. We have pheasants around our property but it doesn't take long for a dog to work a small farm.

Thank you

Well...she woke up a 4AM...she woke me up at 5:15AM to say we should probably go to the hospital.

We called HER sister to watch our still sleeping other daughter. No answer. We called MY sister. Took 10 minutes to get to our house.

5:40 AM:

Called 911. My wife was already 'bearing down'. We live only 6 blocks from the hospital...but I had a feeling we weren't going to make it...I was correct!

Although it looks like it was an 'emergency'...it was actually quite fun. My wife says the same ('cept for the labor)...

just like to hunt, I do to and do not buy into that residents hate nonresidents garbage. We still want you to come, it just has to be controlled a little. This was all started by the big guide opperations to rally land owners to the free for all cause. These people will never know what it is like to have hunting spots leased up. They will always have a place to hunt. Not true for the common man. My dad and many of his friends have given up because of all the hassles you have to go through just to find a place to hunt. As for me, I think my hunting future is secure but I sympathize with those who are having difficulty in finding "good" places to hunt. Plan ahead and you should have no problems securing a license. Goodluck and happy holidays to you and your family!!!

I would just like to respond to all the negativity towards non resident hunters. I now live in SD and am one who grew up in ND. I have never chased down a deer in a pickup, never shot anything out of season, never shot more than my limit, never trespassed on anybody's land, and all in all, always try to do the right thing.

The people that are ruining the hunting for the people that live in the "big" towns are the local boys who upset more landowners than anything. If I am going to drive 300 miles to hunt with friends and family the last thing I want to worry about is looking over my shoulder and making sure one of these greedy landowners is looking at me. Yes I said it - THE LANDOWNERS ARE GETTING GREEDY AND WILL CONTINUE. I come from a small farm, so I feel I can vent a little.

Robert, I am not sure how you are going to come to ND to hunt Elk. Elk hunting in ND is a once in a lifetime opportunity only open to Residents. ND has a limited number of Elk. You must be talking about shooting an Elk on a game farm behind a fence.

Roger, Forgot to add that south of I-94 is best for pheasants overall, but areas north of i-94 also hold good localized populations of pheasants, you just can't find them everywhere like you can south of I-94.

Roger,

The Williston area has some excellent pheasant hunting down on the river bottoms just southwest of town on the Wildlife Management Areas and Waterfowl Production lands. There's also good-excellent pheasant hunting as you go NW of town along the Montana border at least until you get around Grenora. Grouse should also be plentiful, but they are probably a little more concentrated east of town. This time of year the pheasants on the river bottom have been thinned by now and the grouse are wary at best. Some of the better pheasant hunting is down along the river bottoms by Trenton and what's called the Cartwright Bottoms, but a lot of that is pay-for-hunt land and access can be difficult at best. Good luck, it's some beautiful country to hunt.

Dang, sounds pretty crowded in thos PLOT areas.

WHat is the Cannonball club? Code word for some group I bet. The pay-to hunt land that you efer to, is that farmers asking for a few bucks, or the almighty "outfitters" leasing/buying up all the land to let clients on? I don't mind the landowners making a few extra dollars, but sometimes the larger operations can get pretty out of hand!

I hunt with one or two others, 2 dogs, and we don't mind walking for our birds. Hell, that seems to be the fun of it. I personally would be pretty excited about being "stuck" in North dakota through the winter. I would just need to migrate towards Devil's Lake and get a fish house is all. Then again I wouldn't have a job/marriage once I returned. IF I ever returned...Thanks Dan

Dan, There are 3(?) reasons why the majority of the PLOTS land lies south of I-94.

#1. Plain and simply, that's where the lion's share of ND pheasants are located (much of the other PLOTS lies in duck country).

#2. The extreme amount of pay-for-hunt land down there has the NDGF looking for ways to increase resident opportunities in those areas (residents generally don't make enough to pay those outrageous fees).

#3. The political clout lies in Bismarck along with a good percentage of our population. So the numbers just tend to work out for providing a maximum benefit for the $$ spent on PLOTS.

Advice for hunting PLOTS? Sleep in your pick-up at the nearest approach to what you want to hunt the next morning. Otherwise, some dirty, rotten, scum dressed as hunters from the Cannonball Club will shoot up the PLOTS at sunrise in a manner intended to push all the birds over to Cannonball country. Based upon my personal experience at least some of the CB crowd do this. If you can't already tell, I think they are scum of the lowest order....

The PLOTS will hold a lot of birds on opener, but it will then be pushed so hard for the next few weeks that you will unlikely find much in there until the weather drives the non-residents out. I think some "sportsmen" are afraid of being stranded in ND for the winter.

Allen,

Thanks for the advice. I am looking to hunt south of 94, but have no areas specifically in mind. Basically I am thinking that area because it has the most PLOT land. Any other suggestions? I am looking to hunt the Thur Fri Sat Sun of 2nd weekend, and a couple trips in November. Let me know if there is an area I should look at otherwise.

Do I even dare ask what the "other" website is?

Dan, If you are planning on hunting almost anything south of I-94, I would recommend sticking to PLOTS land. If you are away from the pay per hunt areas, kick on a few doors. Not everyone is as interested in the squabble over hunting as is often portrayed on this and that "other" web site. My guess is you will have better reception in areas without a lot of pheasants. That's o.k. though, those areas without pheasants can often produce excellent numbers of grouse and partridge.

I am a Minnesota upland hunter that wants to head to North Dakota this year to enjoy the beautiful prarie. I know that there is some tension with non-resident hunters, what should I expect for a greeting? Will knocking on doors to ask for permission be a viable option, or should I stick to PLOT lands?

Thanks for your honesty.....Dan

This season could get very interesting, from what Ive heard non residents better stick to the pay hunts because they arent going to get on anywhere else. Just another indicator that politics and money should stay out of the hunting arena. If the governor would have listened to the Game and Fish Dept like he should have I dont thing we would have the extreme resident, non-resident tensions that are out there now!

Talked with a rep yesterday and he told me the numbers that are being thrown around are 25,000 to 30,000. Which will basicaly do nothing for the area I hunt. With that in mind. Where do you think those 25,000 to 30,000 people are going to hunt? I'll tell you, Devils lake, Tappen, Medina, Woodworth and Robinson. The heart of the pothole region. Last year there were more non residents than you could shake a stick at in these areas. Anyway I am expecting a huge backlash from landowners, Especialy the ones who charge to hunt. Does anbody know if guides can use state school land to guide their clients on? I know a guide who uses state school land and he has told people that he will not let anyone from Jamestown hunt on his land. And this guy stood up in a meeting and said he gives anyone access who asks. I think we have all heard that one before. Anyway, I have touched base with several land owners all of who could care less about what is going on. Incidently those guys are old timers still eating dirt in the fields. the reason their still farming and in the black is because they make do with what they have and they stayed away from the bank. that is quote from the oldest of them. Anyway I will see you guys on the slough with 1 non resident behind every cattail. YEE_HAW

I honestly believe that Gov. Hoven is more interested in money than he is with preserving our hetitage. What the heck, I didn't vote for him anyway so I am assuming the worst.

My uncle from Lakota said land owners around there have organized to shut out GF Wild life club members. You can thank John French. As for me I will take my fall walleye fishing. Hunters around here better wake up or sell the shot gun and by a rod and reel.

I see fishingbuddy is again refusing to post rebutles to the non-resident issue. People like cootkiller and pointer guy are blaming the sportsman alliance. I guess they have to blame someone. My view is this. If your a land owner who is angry about the possible limits on non resident waterfowl. Do you really think posting your land and not allowing residents to hunt is going to help your cause? It will make it worse. I am sorry I have to change the topic but they won't post this or any post that does not shed favorable light on the land owners or non residents. Pointer guy if your out there, What have you done to help the situation besides complain, belittle and throw around false accusations. If there are no caps I will find your place and pound on your door for permission to hunt. And then we will see the true hipocrit Mr. I let people hunt if they ask. Thats what they all say. Saying and doing are two different things in your world.
