Interesting. I've never heard of just replacing the insert instead of the entire guide. I wonder if they are intended to snap in or press fit, maybe with a bit of epoxy glue for insurance.

Another cool spring, so my gardening efforts are off to a slow start. I've started some seeds in trays in the window sill that are now popping up. Added compost and fertilizer to my raised beds. Got them leveled off and put in a row of radishes so far. I should be able to transplant some...

Oh, I don't know. Looks like a pretty good day to me. Caught 4 trout, even with a minor gear malfunction. Only one shot and bullet whizzing by doesn't seem that bad for Idaho.

Exorbitant feeding costs. A bear is just a walking eating machine.

I think Mass is right that this late season snow is not that out of the ordinary. A more significant aspect of this snow is how much does it add to the seasonal accumulation total? It is that annual total that water managers have to estimate in order to decide how much water is available for...

Take a younger person along with you help with the unloading and loading chore. And share the joy of fishing. I still fish solo a lot, but I have some younger fishing partners. I like to have one of them along when I take the Lund out. I can unload it OK, but it's nice to have a younger...

Not inside the park.

Are downriggers necessary for kokanee fishing?

Maybe they're trying to price out all the riff raff; i.e., the public owners of the park.

That's great news Nick. I'm happy for you. You've earned this! Twice.

Naw. Bison are all over Yellowstone. When I'm in that area I like to fish the Lamar. Zigzagging around bison herds is the normal part of stream access. Only once, last fall, there were so many randomly scattered bulls and dispersed small herds that I could not devise an effective zigzag...

I kinda' ignore the draft. Based on the results Surfnfish posted above, I think the main purpose of the draft is to provide some kind of fair way to bring young new players into the NFL. Once they're in the league and start practicing and playing, things sorta' shake out through trades and...

Ultimately, I don't know. Seems like it's acceptable to name lakes that are already generally very well known. Smaller, obscure, and less well known waters seem to be the ones that people would rather they not be named. Chopaka and Pass Lakes are commonly named on this forum, and no one seems...

Thread drift: In recent years the advances in hard cast ammo has produced several incidents in AK and MT where 10 mm has taken down grizzlies. It's now considered preferable to the former standard 44 magnum, and 10 mm holds more rounds, 10 - 15 instead of 5 or 6. Another advantage of the 10 mm...

Oh great! Now ultra-light hikers are going to have to add pounds to their hiking kit for bear spray and a 10 mm Glock. That's equal to the weight of a tent and sleeping bag!

Rained too much yesterday for me to be interested in doing anything outdoors. So I went to Costco instead to pick up 3 things. $239 later I headed back home with a few more than 3 things . . .

Clam tubes are the indicator of the beach. But to be candid, I have one of the finest, thin gauge stainless with an air release tube within. It's fun to use, but doesn't demonstrate near the skill and finesse of an expert gunner.

Critical razor clam nomenclature: Clam gun is a traditional clam digging "shovel" characterized by a long curved blade that tapers from top to bottom. The best clam guns are made of stainless steel and can have either a short or medium length ash handle and are extremely hard to find. Last I...

That's amazing Zak. Rescues come with so much baggage and uncertainty. Training a rescue usually takes far longer than beginning with a fresh pup, and some never do become "normal," whatever that is for a dog. Whatever you're doing, you appear to be doing it right. Good luck with Rigby!

On this we agree. Supposedly the 9th Amendment includes the numerous rights not specifically listed, but government, including SCOTUS, has determined that we only have the rights that are specifically enumerated or otherwise declared. Heck, even the 4th Amendment has been significantly...
