    My grandma used to have one of those old wives tales answers to this question. Maybe it was vinegar? Or the water had to be boiling or cold or something. I don’t know because once I smelled old people egg farts I knew eggs weren’t for me. Except maybe a couple deviled eggs.

    If y’all really want to urine people off how about all sonar needs to be registered with the DNR like drones with the FFA. Sales tax and registration goes towards fish conservation instead of the general fund. No reg sticker you get a ticket. You can then use this to control the guides usage as well. Yay gubment controls.

    When I’m spring crappie fishing I’m usually fishing against the wind. I use a thill splash brite. Its pricey to lose one but they get me over and past the reeds, and take longer to float back to me in the wind. I also use these as drift floats on the river. When its not extra windy northland makes a balsa slip bobber that has two brass ends instead of one that casts real nice.

    Where are you getting that this bill is for non-motorized hiking trails? This is for Off Highway vehicle trails, and roads in state property.

    Wow. I usually enjoy reading bills, and can be open minded. I don’t use an ATV and generally think the rules are too lose, but this is ridiculous. I would doubt it would make it very far, but keep an eye on it.

    Gonna get me one of those fancy Hacker rocket launchers on the cheap, regardless of 47s approval rating.

    Is anyone concerned this plot seems an awfully lot like the movie Canadian Bacon? Create a fake war to try to drive up polling numbers? And gullible people buy it right up.

    I’ve been saying this form the start. I comment smells like bacon, and no one gets the reference. Shameful.

    I don’t know about their field, but their license plate is pretty cool.

    I don’t know the birds were going apeshit this morning. They could keep that snarky happy to be here attitude quiet until I’ve had my coffee at least.

    Bill Gates is farming his Grafton land still. Rents it to the previous owners.

    Lots of people own land as a corporation. Especially families and groups of friends. Its much easier to handle the ownership side when there is responsible parties. Living in a triangle of lakes, hunting, and farmland, its not at all uncommon to see even young people in their 20’s with an LLC just to buy land for duck hunting. With farmland from the Red River Valley nearby land buying has always been a good investment around here, it always goes up in value and can be easily rented. Lately alot of the lake purchases are done by people with LLCs in the cities and Chicago, and they rent out on VRBO and what not almost exclusively and rarely visit the property. Your probably right about the mineral concerns in Northern MN, that’s what happens when regulations are expected to be removed, mining becomes profitable again.

    Yes we are all an ethnicity (Mexicans, Canadians, And USians). I’ve had poutine tacos for cripes sake. Mexican Americans go to night school and take Spanish and get a B.

    This makes no difference to me. They still aren’t going to open the Ottertail to Smallmouth harvest, even though they so we can encourage some size increases. And Smallmouth taste pretty bad, at least out of a river.

    I always think “man that’s a great lure to lose to a pike”. Watching the action on some of those baits is entertaining though.

    Well dang I just learned something new. I checked Canada they used to be The Dominion of Canada. They could be The Dominions.

    Because it sounds dumb. It would be United States Citizens, and that still sounds dumb. Here’s a question why aren’t Americans considered an ethnicity? Canadians, Mexicans, and US peoples, have shared behaviors, and languages that makes us identifiable to the outside world. Generally other parts of the world treat Canadians and Americans the same when they come to a restaurant underdressed or aghast at the lack of ice. (At least they used to). We have shared customs and foods.

    You can rent my dad. I got a call last year about him running around the yard in a bathrobe yelling and whacking trees with a stick. He had declared war on the squirrels for eating all the peanuts in like 5 minutes. This is a currently ongoing conflict that does not involve prevention in any way. Only mutual combat.

    If I remember right both were alone. 1 Guy was trying to get something out of the water, and one was duck hunting or fishing in between hunting.

    This link is interesting. Seems like Hennepin county needs a apartment pool safety training certificate more than any boater safety.

    I was just curious as to how many deaths we had last year right after the post about being 60 and thought it was interesting. Kinda surprised actually we have plenty of recreational boating in Ottertail so I figured it was more than two overall anyhow.

    Both boater fatalities in my county last year were persons over 60.

    This drives me nuts. I spell it Grey. At work it auto fills Gray. It’s BS. I don’t even think there is a rule. Its a totally lawless color system.

    Give it up Matt. If you don’t want to do it take up bank fishing or golf.

    This is actually a pretty good way to get the boaters to behave. I shore fish and golf. I’m not much of a golfer but the rivers only about 75 yards wide anyhow.

    I got mine from a laundry basket in a shady underground garage, but the closest thing I could find on Amazon was a THKFISH Soft Swimbait.

    I’m gonna have to get one of those vision 110s just to see what all the hypes about. They don’t seem all that innovative, not like those soft plastic turds, or nothing but ribs ripple baits that were all the rage for bass last year.

    https://www.revisor.mn.gov/laws/2004/0/173/#laws.0.1.0

    The governor is required by legislation dating back to 2004 to order flags to be flown at half mast with discretion to time to be lowered whenever a member of law enforcement or public safety, or military dies. Its up to legislators to define the terms further.

    I’m almost 50 and haven’t listened to a radio in 8 years. Don’t know why I would unless I’m trying to see if I should go out and watch the tornado go by. I could even Bluetooth Spotify in my 98 Silverado. I went out of my way to disconnect the XM radio antenna in my current truck. They got all the way down to .99 cents. Then I went and bought another car and now they are sending me the stupid emails. Down to six bucks already.

    If you have an Enhanced license they do not print the DNR indicators on them.

    Yeah quit digging out the boat ramps while I watch and fish from the boat launch dock which I’m probably not supposed to do in the first place. Seriously there’s a boat ramp were beginners and old timers seem to go alot that I fish at and they all need some good boating lessons. Doubt they would get it from a manual though.
