:: Hunting - Waterfowl, Tales from the Woods

I drop the truck into four wheel drive and start to tip toe off the county road and follow an ancient logging trail. Last fall, when I was here, I don’t recall the logging trail so rough. I meander about and come to the sharp corner and here is a brand new county forest gate with a lock that’s locked tight. Oh for the love of progress. Man whose going to steal trees back here. Stupid gate...

I don’t think of myself as a veteran hunter. But when I put pen to paper and add up the years, I realize it's been nearly 25 of them since I took hunter education in LaMoure in 1984. During that time, I've already experienced some significant changes in our hunting landscape...

:: Hunting - Waterfowl, Tales from the Woods

You ever catch yourself sniffing empty shotgun shells? In the heat of battle most of my spent twelve gauges hit the bottom of the duck boat. Exceptions to the rule occur, and those are the three inch mags that I tuck in my pocket after poking at Canadian honkers...

:: Hunting - Waterfowl, Conservation and the Environment

About 15 years ago I attended my first Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting. I was a fisheries and wildlife management student at North Dakota State University, and had a goal of one day working in the natural resource field. I decided it might be a positive learning experience to attend this open public meeting, and it sounded like more fun than studying for a statistics exam...

I can’t get the wind to my back, so a long line of decoys angles towards shore like a funnel. What I call the “baby duck” is flying somewhere around mock two coming into line and dropping. The number four previously installed in the upper tube woompfs and I...
