Open Season: A lot to be thankful for in North Dakota outdoors
The morning chill was every bit the 17 degrees promised by my digital truck thermometer, if not less. Almost immediately upon removing the Remington 870 pump shotgun from its case, lacy veins of frost enveloped the matte-finished barrel.

Open Season: While meat may be meat, venison is not just venison
In my circles, seldom do I get a “hi” this time of year. And normally a talking standard, weather now rarely is a topic-starter – unless it’s how the hunting has been affected by it.

Open Season: Tough to beat a Minnesota ruffed grouse hunt

Open Season: Mystery menace more than mildly malicious
Apparently they’re delicious. Boiling them in a big pot with some choice seasonings and spices can be darn near heavenly.
Or so I’ve been told.
I wasn’t really thinking with my stomach when I saw the first one, up close and personal, a few weeks ago while on a family vacation to Lake Vermilion in northeastern Minnesota.

Open Season: Success of fall hunts best enjoyed on summer grills

Open Season: Summer is finally here; right time to hit the lakes
“I don’t even remember what a bite feels like,” I grumbled, as we trolled along one of Ottertail Lake’s numerous drop-offs. “This is ridiculous.”

Open Season: Easy come, even easier go
Bobbing across the white-capped waves, I was amazed at its lifelike realism. Had I known better, I’d of sworn a dead mallard drake was floating belly-up across the flooded field.
