    Start of Minnesota 2025-2026 season countdown

    Just because it is opener doesn't mean you have to go ... plenty of pheasants survive opening day to be chased the balance of the season. Like ruffed grouse hunting ... some years pheasant opener is too hot, others not so much, other years just right ... Other years it can be high winds or...

    Dog Dies While At Trainer

    Jury selection can make a difference in a case. I would have prosecuted him on both a felony and a misdemeanor charge. A felony charge would be tough to get a conviction on in rural MN. His website is still down. I suspect these charges have disrupted his business quite a bit and the...

    Soybean price helps habitat

    For those that do get a contract to ship to Asia (China). Ocean freight costs are pretty low this year and container availability is good. It is actually soybeans which helps get those containers back to China full vs. empty.

    Soybean price helps habitat

    Soybeans have become too predominant. Ag companies, chemical companies, seed companies, grain trading companies have all developed a true monoculture approach. Beans and Corn. Many farmers had no choice but to comply. 10 years ago, we were in a township in middle NoDak. Stutsman county...

    Soybean price helps habitat

    Crude oil works much the same way. Lower quality crude far from end users can go below the price it takes to get it out of the ground when you include the added cost of moving it.

    NW ND prairie bird count dropped significantly

    The North Dakota sportsmen groups kind of were run over with the e-posting. Much of ND had their panties in a bunch when the protestors occupied private land south of Mandan ... the tide turned a bit towards favoring landowners ... initial laws did offer some protected/exception to legal...

    NW ND prairie bird count dropped significantly

    At one time NW ND was quietly a great place to run dogs and shoot pheasants. It was a zoo opening weekend (mostly ND residents from Williston, Minot and parts in between) ... then pretty quiet as geese entered the state in mass and deer season came next. When the Bakken was renewed and...

    Do you add anything to your dogs water while hunting

    Water is all they need. I like egg or ground burger as a supplement to their evening meal to encourage them to eat if they are "dog" tired. The extra protein and fat is a plus too.

    NW ND prairie bird count dropped significantly

    It is no secret that the past 2-3 years in NW ND have been pretty crazy good. e-posting is changing things a bunch NW ND was phenomenal pheasant hunting before the sloughs recharged in the early 90s.

    NW ND prairie bird count dropped significantly

    CRP and Corn are not a sharptail's friend. Huns prefer small grains and edges. Tall grass prairie is not a Hun's friend either.

    NW ND prairie bird count dropped significantly

    If the brood count (# of broods and # of juvenile birds) are down, it will very likely show up in the harvest survey (lower). Young birds make up a large share of the harvest. If you did not hunt Huns in ND in the 1988 - 1992 time frame ... you missed the crazy peak no matter what the...

    prairie chicken

    The MN DNR has the link for the license lottery look "live" on the Prairie Chicken page of the website. When I looked up our my ID ... It says we were unsuccessful. Two years ago, the web page said that we were unsuccessful, and preference moved to "2". Made other plans and then the "you...
