At many of my presentations and seminars, I’m surprised by the number of people who don’t like the “Wild taste” of wild game

It won’t be too long when the skies are covered up with migrating white, geese, Snows, Blues and Ross geese.

Predators, an animal that naturally preys on others, Coyotes, Fox, Bobcats, and Mountain Lions to name a few?

This is the time of the year, that I refer to as that in-between time in the outdoors, when Ice fishing is just getting started, pheasant season has been going on for a while, with all the young birds either harvested or educated so well, they hug the ground instead of going airborne.

It's November when in a normal year with cold weather when people those die hard ice anglers are looking for a place to ice fish.

In the United States, deer are one of the most popular animals that hunters pursue, with an estimated 35 to 36 million deer in our 50 states.

Hunters in the Midwest are patiently waiting for the waterfowl migrations coming in from the Canadian Arctic as the waterfowl migrate south to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

Hunters are always looking for ways to make their hunting land more attractive to wild game.

Last week, when I was traveling home from Sioux Falls, S.D. before getting to the bridge, I could see a well-traveled deer trail, when I got closer to it, I glanced where the trail headed inro the trees.

You have done everything according to the book, put out your scouting cameras, know where the deer bed, travel and feed. You've did everything to make sure the deer won't detect you, wearing scent proof camo, Hunter's Specialties scent wafers on your cap, checked the wind, knowing which of y…

Fall arrived Saturday, Friday, 23 September 2022 and it’s starting to feel like it, as we had 43 temperatures this morning.

Predators, an animal that naturally preys on others, Coyotes, Fox, Bobcats, and Mountain Lions to name a few?

Fall’s a great time of the year and will be here before you know it. There are numerous reasons I love the fall season. Insects become less of a problem, temperatures begin to cool off, allowing the nights to cool down and the fish will become active and the best thing of all it’s the beginn…

Over the last several years, due to the disappearance of our habitat, our pheasant hunting in northeast Nebraska is very minimal.

As I peered through my binoculars, at a small group of geese as they headed off the lake several miles away, Jim pulled out the flag and begin waving it, to my surprise they turned our way.

It won't be long and we'll be into fall, the kids will be back to school and as the water temperatures will start to cool, with fishing will pick up.

As a kid in Watertown, I spent a lot of time in the weeds and willows along the Sioux River and at Lake Pelican and was always on the lookout for any strange bug that hitched a ride on my clothing or me, and ticks always seemed to be around.

With bow season, opening in September, there’s enough time to do some preseasons scouting and time to put up stands and clear brush on the main trails.

My Introduction-mentors who introduced me to outdoors, when I was a youngster in Watertown, South Dakota was my grandparents who hunted- fished, as did my father and because our neighbor Glenn did almost everything when it came to the outdoors, we had a lot of help learning about the outdoors.

Northern pike, while some people despise them, there are others, like myself, who enjoy the fight a hooked northern puts up, then there’s those anglers, because of the pike’s slime coat, that refuse l to bring them into the boat.

All anglers, including myself, began their journey to their love of fishing along a shoreline on some pond, river, or lake.

It’s Spring, where spending time on the water is very inviting, it’s also a time of year where the threat of spreading zebra mussels is high.

To me, it seems like this has been a strange year, it hasn't been overly cold, we’ve had unbelievable wind.

A couple of years ago, buyers were paying big bucks for a pound of morels. Kast year in our area, we had high water, which covered much of the places where morels appear, the high water came across cropland, bringing with it all sorts of chemicals, so the buyers in my area were really picky …

It was opening day of the Spring turkey season, as the sun had just set in the western sky, as we walked out onto a point running through the center of the property we hunted.

It wasn’t that many years ago, when you had to really search to find information on food plots, now there are dozens of companies that have numerous products, with recommendations as to what to plant.

As we were coming back from Watertown, approaching the Missouri River north of Vermillion, the sky was covered up with migrating white, geese, Snows, Blues and Ross geese.

Hard to believe that its Winter after the warm weather we’ve been having, it’s been a strange year, I’m not complaining, but this warm weather must really screw up the wildlife.

With the Nebraska Spring Turkey season coming up soon, it won’t be long before the gobble of the Tom turkey will echo across the location I plan to hunt.

With the colder weather we’ve been having, Ice fishermen are getting into the sport of ice fishing.

As 2021 draws to a close, many of us will make those New Year resolutions, some will get a good start on theirs, while others resolutions will fall to the wayside.

As I become more “mature", I find that being in the outdoors becomes much more important to me each day.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, habitat is the place or environment where a plant or animal naturally or normally lives and grows.

As Team Member Bill Christensen and I stood at the end of the corn rows, with two combines working towards us, we were ready, waiting for a long-tailed rooster to burst from the cover, giving us an opportunity to bag our first bird of the season.

What we had planned was a late season hunt, which meant that the pheasants were educated and very spooky.

These tips in this column may be too late for this season, and as next waterfowl season rolls around, this information will help you to bag your limit.

The buck was at least two hundred fifty yards out and if something didn't divert him, he would walk right into the shooting lane I’d cleared during pre-season, if it stays on that course, will be in bow range.
