Swan Song 

The application deadline for one of 2,200 tundra swan licenses available in 2022 is rapidly approaching. Mark Aug. 17 on the calendar if that application hasn’t already been submitted. However, if 2022 follows trends in recent years, it’s possible – but not certain -  wanna-be swan hunters could still have an opportunity to hunt. The […]

Northern Celebrations: A Time and Place for Everything, Including Releasing Fish

It’s been said that there is a time and place for everything.   The old adage holds true for fishing, as well, especially when it comes to well-meaning anglers practicing catch-and-release.   Generally, releasing a healthy fish is a noble – and good - act.   It’s just that it’s not always the best for […]

The August "to do" List

Pardon the pun, but with summer temperatures heating up as we head at lightning speed into August, this week’s burning question will be “Where did June and July go?” August??? Already??? Seriously??? Yes, seriously folks, August is almost here. That means school. It means fall sports practice. It means shorter days and longer nights. It […]

Northern Celebrations: Exploring Byway Getaways

GARRISON -- Admittedly, gas prices continue providing a big impact on many people’s spending ability, perhaps putting a damper on big summer getaway plans.  But, still, getaways from the daily grind are important. They recharge one’s mind. They connect moms and dads and their children. They connect friendships.  They’re darn near a necessity and they’re […]

Squirrel Wars

GARRISON — Sorry, this is getting ridiculous – Garnet and her squirrel fixation, that is. Garnet, the younger of the two hunting maniacs in the household, like most dogs, has a squirrel fixation. Admittedly Eider does too, but at 13 years of age and a larger, slower Brittany she recognizes she can’t catch them. So, […]

North Dakota's Granddaddy of a Fishing Tournament

North Dakota’s premier fisheries – Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake, and the Missouri River – have hosted a litany of big name national fishing events for decades. But none compare in longevity and size to the North Dakota Governor’s Cup Walleye Derby, a tradition that began when the United States celebrated the nation’s Bicentennial back in […]

Fishin' For Cats

They probably missed out in the “handsome” category when it comes to being a fish. They probably don’t even fit the “cute” category. After all, the channel catfish calling the Missouri River tailrace home – or any channel catfish anywhere else for that matter – lack the glittery greenish-gold of walleye or the cutesy bluegill […]

Northern Celebrations: Train now; train smart 

We’re just into the early days of summer’s official arrival but grouse season is right around the corner with its tentative Sept. 10 opening date. Don’t blink, because the state’s resident waterfowl season is – once again tentative – slated to follow beginning Sept. 24. And, of course, then it’s the revered (and, yes, still […]

Northern Celebrations: Brushing up on Boating Safety and Regulations

Summer is officially only days away even though boaters, anglers, and watercraft enthusiasts have already enjoyed some time on the water – wind permitting, that is. In celebrating summer’s arrival it doesn’t hurt to test one’s brain power when it comes to water, boats, safety, and perhaps above all, North Dakota’s laws when to avoid […]

Northern Celebrations: The Roosevelt Trail

President Theodore Roosevelt didn’t spend all that many years in what was known as Dakota Territory at the time. But the years he spent hunting and ranching in the 1880s shaped not only what would become North Dakota in 1889 but the rest of the nation’s citizens, its lakes, rivers, wetlands, mountains, prairies, and the […]
