Hunting is about what we don't shoot, too

To a non-hunter, hunting is all about the successful kill. It's about bringing down a wide-racked, rut-crazed whitetail buck, folding a duck skimming over your decoys, or centering a grouse rising out of a dogwood thicket.

DNR license stamp revenues contribute to conservation

When Minnesotans buy state hunting and fishing license stamps they are contributing directly to work that supports duck, pheasant, trout, wild turkey and walleye management.

The cold stalk

The rut seems to have turned off like someone hit a switch. The breeding frenzy has gone from deer running around day and night to the more normal routine of bedding down during the day and moving mostly at dawn and dusk. It makes for much safer driving on the …

Duck stamps on the wane?

As my duck hunting partner cut the motor and nosed the boat into shore, we both looked up to see a uniformed man casually walking down to meet us. It was late morning, long after many hunters had abandoned the cause, and had left the lake. Being within a National …

"Choot 'em, Lizabeth"

There is a program on television about a bunch of crazy Cajuns hunting alligators in Louisiana. It is not very realistic, but young and old find it entertaining. One of the most commonly used lines in the show is, "Shoot him, Elizabeth!" This is always uttered when Troy has an …

DNR urges caution with fires; burning permits now required

Winter is usually a time of low fire danger in Minnesota, but this winter is different, with snow drought in most of the state. Fuels such as grasses and brush, which are usually covered with snow, are freeze-dried and available to burn this winter. Because of these conditions, the Minnesota …
