(with guest contributor Rachel Brazil) It's been a crazy past couple of weeks. There was one point when I had been stuck in the house for three – maybe even five – days. I couldn't handle being around anyone, especially my brother. During a particularly tense moment, my mom decided it was time to take me for a drive. We stocked up on snacks, filled up with fuel, and we were on our way. Wouldn't you know it? By the time we were in Sheyenne, things began to feel kind of normal. But then thi...

Whooping cranes are in the midst of their spring migration and sightings will increase as they make their way into and through North Dakota over the next several weeks. Anyone seeing these endangered birds as they move through the state is asked to report sightings so the birds can be tracked. The whooping cranes that do make their way through North Dakota each spring are part of a population of about 500 birds that are on their way from their wintering grounds at Aransas National Wildlife...
Water is freedom, no more so than in spring. Casting off the icy bonds of winter, breaking them into pieces and then absorbing them is the completion of a flow's self-fulfilling and seasonal prophecy. So too for the angler, flowing water represents the possibilities to not only move with life's direction, but to challenge it and go back in time in a sense and find those places the riffles speak of upstream where trout, or bass or walleyes hide beneath the calm surface. It's been said that we nev...
With the impact of the coronavirus obvious across many layers of society, the North Dakota Game & Fish Department (NDG&F) has not been immune to changes in day-to-day life. Under guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and orders from the Governor, all NDG&F offices and facilities have been closed to the public. Despite that fact, the state's staff of wardens and other officials tasked with monitoring the use of North Dakota's game, fish and natural resources are carrying on,...
Growing up a wrestling fan, there was no better time to be watching WWF (now WWE) than when Triple H and Degeneration X were the featured heels. Challenging Vince McMahon and the establishment each week, after a win the various members would slap their crotch and yell out their trademark “Suck It!” Boorish, sure, but the battle cry became the focal point for the chairman’s ire each week. So too in the wild waters of our world does an annoying nest raider raise the ire of protective speci...
A woman in her 80s from McHenry County is the second N.D. person to die from COVID-19, the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) reported Monday. The NDDoH said that the woman had underlying health conditions and contracted the virus through community spread. The number of positive cases shot up above 100 for the first time today. As of 9 a.m. CDT, there were 109 positive cases throughout the state. That is up 11 from Sunday. There are now positive cases in 19 N.D. counties, with half of... Full story
Now 43 people across N.D. have recovered from COVID-19, according to data released today by the North Dakota Department of Health. A total of 159 people have tested positive for the disease, and 28 have been hospitalized due to the virus.

Results from the past 24 hours will be posted at 11 a.m. CDT. This will allow... Full story
Eddy County's first positive case of COVID-19 was recorded today (April 3), and the individual spoke with me this morning to share his story. Eric Myhre of rural Sheyenne wants the community to know that this is not an instance of community spread, nor are residents at risk. Myhre had traveled to Europe and then self-quarantined in Minnesota at his family's lake home for two weeks after he returned to the U.S. He was effectively out of the county for 20 days and was not in physical contact with...
