I like most Nodaks have lived through a few floods and I am sorry to hear about the mess. Maybe we can put together a clean up crew for you or something. Sure have appreciated the use of the house and buildings over the years.

Terry, I feel for you man. I know what that floodings like. Back in the 50's, my Grandfather had a farm on the Missouri river bottom about 20 miles above Pierre. Before the Oahe dam was built ,it was an annual event. The river would flood them out and they would have to live in town until the water went down. Then the work began. I remember shoveling out all the silt and muddy shit that was in the house.There was no electricity and the house was heated by wood that was put up in the Fall. One stack for the big stove and one stack for the cook stove. Then it was livable until the next Spring and then same ole thing again. I guess perseverance prevailed as they stayed on the place until the U.S. Corps Of Engineers condemned the land when plans were being made to build Oahe dam. When that happened my Grandfather had a nervous breakdown and he never was the same after that. He had cleared all the diamond willow off about 600 acres and planted alfalpha. It was a deer hunters mecca. I was just a little guy, but I remember deer hunting with my Uncles. Now the place is 150ft. below on the bottom of the lake. If that place was there this day and age, it would have been worth a fortune.

Marty Oyle and Luke Oyle (aka Lucos on the site)
Checked in 2 coyotes (saw 9) with a check in time of 7:29pm and also won Small dog with a weight of 23.35lbs.

Hey guys,

I have some sad news to share as we have lost a great kid, and a heck of a good outdoorsman, and coyote hunter. Luke was killed in a tragic car accident on april 6th near williston.

Some of you may remeber Luke Oyloe also know as "lukeos" from the sight here. Luke was a great kid and loved calling coyotes and being outside in the outdoors with his dad and friends.

Luke and his dad marty participated in the minot predator hunt this past october and placed 2nd! You may have seen that post already but if you havent here is luke with there 2 coyotes which won them 2nd place in the tournament

Luke really enjoyed the tournament and was planning on participating in the coming october.

I know luke may have been in contact with some of you.. and he really enjoyed the tournament you put on.

Its going to be a real challenge without luke around, he always had a big smile on his face and was always there ready to go! whenever we decided we wanted to go after some coyotes. He was a great kid.

Luke is going to be missed, but definately never forgotten.. He was a great hunter, and even a better friend.

Love ya bud.

I had a chance to talk with luke and his father after the 08 tournament and let me tell you that kid had a good head on his shoulders!! I think Tbush has come up with a great idea and after things are finalized, we will post what it is. Marty my thoughts and prayers are for you and your family.
