Dont say PONTOON around my wife! She wants a pontoon, no way do I want one of those dumb things! We have a good friend/neighbor who has one, that is good enough for me! My boys are developing into great little fisherman, so I want a crossover boat that leans more toward fishing. B-man, I hate to break it to ya, but pontoon = minivan of the sea. You were so close getting that man card back too.

my ring is made out of elk antler, no one was surprised at this Cake stand was a wooden ammo box surrounded by deer sheds. we had grain belt from a can (brought by a groomsman from MN) and camo can coozies with our names and date on them. and the cutest flower girl the world has ever known and a handsome ringbearer who danced with all the ladies there

That's what I'm talking about! Great pics and looks like a great time. Your Rx is to do this on a regular occasion until deer season. Can't wait to see Mrs. NorthernDave photos! ps you can skip anymore spider photos....creeps me out!

Tom here's the pic I tried sending on my "smart" phone I'd be happy with the one in front. The one in back is thinking the same thing. You might have some competition there T. Congrats on the new events Ryan!

Nice Job Ryan! I was wondering about the ring as soon as I saw it. That is really, really cool. Nice looking kids too.
Just so we are clear on the pontoon thing, I aint getting a pontoon if it was brand spanking new and free! I did watch that video with the 3-300 HP Mercs. That guy has a death wish. 100 mph is too much for that hull/pontoon design methinks. He hit just a couple of tiny waves and it looked pretty squirrely.
Nice buck there Ryan. Really nice. I have 2 dandy bucks on my trail cam. One (we named him LaCarpetron Dookmarriot) is for sure a little smaller than yours and I think the other one (Stickers) is too (but I havent gotten him since June 1 so I dont know how big he is now).
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

Thanks everyone! it was an awesome time! I married the absolute love of my life and don't know what I would do without her. I held it together pretty well the whole time. the only time I got misty eyed was when my kids were walking down the isle, punkin had to hold her dress with one hand and her brothers arm with the other, so he had both the ring pillow and her flower basket in his hand so he could help her. it was adorable. I think that's the only time I can use those words and keep my mancard.

ND, Where do you find a hill that big to bike on in your flat, wet, bog country? Is that near Bemis Hill?

thank you all again for the kind words. to those who might be interested, today is the last day to apply online for SD west river and black hills deer. if anyone thinks they might want to hunt years down the road (NorthernDave/MrsND) I urge you to buy a preference point now, start accumulating. I will do the best I can to help anyone who wants to make the trek. youth season goes on at the same time, anyone under 18 can get a doe tag for 10 bucks.
