Through the valleys and hills of the sporting clays course east of town, we tracked the movements of our five high school shooters, who were logging their final rounds of the season.

One of the most widely discussed topics and legislative issues this year is commonly referred to as “electronic posting.” In short, the 2021 state legislature passed a bill to allow electronic posting of private land, giving landowners another option for posting private property. This system is currently available to enroll lands, with the law going into effect Aug. 1, 2021. In addition to the current posting laws allowing landowners to post lands with physical signs or leave lands unp...
The current tree planting project in New Rockford has been completed! Through the Family Forestry Grant, 30 trees have been planted on various properties throughout the community. All have been planted, mulched with wood chips, and are being watered by the property owners who have agreed to permanently “adopt” these trees. Because of the current hot and dry conditions, the trees must be monitored closely, and watered frequently, to enable these young trees to become established in their new environment. (Please, water your trees!) The city has...

We have all seen it, the empty beer can in the ditch, the plastic bag that tangled in a branch - anywhere humans go we tend to leave trash behind, including sportsmen and women. While we should all strive to leave no trace when are in the woods and water, we can make a positive impact by cleaning up after each other, and summer is the perfect time to take care of the areas we flock to in the fall. Sure, you can (and should) pick up trash when you see it in the spring and fall, but summer, when t...
Long before I owned a boat, I spent much of my summers in high school, college and law school at my grandparents' cabin on the shores of Detroit Lakes. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day in those later years, as graduations loomed and then passed, and the liberty of post-secondary education waned and reality could only be prolonged by a final summer at the lake ahead of the bar exam, I spent many evenings wandering the shoreline to the east and west of the old green cabin, spinning rod in hand...
