  • Our Outdoors: In Memory

    Nick Simonson|Feb 24, 2020

    Like most of my minor honey-dos from the end of year, going through old clothing to donate to the local thrift store ended up getting done two months into the following tax calendar; mostly due to deer hunting and some late season pheasant tromps that took up the last seven weekends before the end of December. No matter, the box of shirts, old jeans and a couple of sweaters will still likely be worth the same on next year’s filing as it would have been on this one, save for the fact that as I s...

  • QDMA Report Shows Record Harvest of Mature Bucks

    Nick Simonson|Feb 24, 2020

    With the issuance of its 2020 Whitetail Report, the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) noted among its findings that more deer hunters than at any other time in the group’s surveys are passing on harvesting yearling bucks in favor of mature bucks that are 3.5 years old or older. In 1989, the initial year surveyed by the organization, yearling bucks comprised more than 60 percent of the annual harvest of deer. In 2018, that percentage dropped to 30 percent of the 2.9 million bucks that w...

  • The Many Tastes of Fishing

    Jon Bradley, NDWF Executive Director|Feb 24, 2020

    I grew up in Minnesota, and like North Dakota and much of the upper Midwest, the walleye is king. Many people believe it’s the all-around greatest fish that has ever been. From its head shakes after you set the hook to the ease of fileting their mild white flaky meat, the walleye reigns on the top of the list for anglers. And while I enjoy catching and eating them, recently I’ve been thinking there is more out there. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve eaten (and will continue to eat) my fair share of walleyes. I was indoctrinated into fish fries from an...
