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 […]

Northern Celebrations: Gearing up for summer

Admittedly, North Dakotans have a narrow window of opportunity to soak up the joys of summer. Perhaps that’s why summer is - hopefully – so greatly valued. Each sunny day is a treasure. A day of light breeze is a godsend (granted, some may say it’s also a miracle). That’s not saying North Dakota’s weather […]

Northern Celebrations: Free fishing and a challenge

Nowadays, it might seem weird that back in the early 1990s, the N.D. Game and Fish Department formed an internal committee to look at ways to promote fishing opportunities in the state. After all, in a state with a population of less than 800,000 people, the agency anticipates more than 200,000 will be sold in […]

Northern Celebrations: It’s spring – think about November deer hunting

It’s the end of May, but it’s time to start thinking about deer hunting. Especially because the 2022 North Dakota deer gun and muzzleloader applications are available with the June 8 deadline typically approaching faster than what one realizes. The early June deadline is a decades old tradition. Even though license applications aren’t due until […]
