  • North Dakota Outdoors: Training the next generation of hunters

    Doug Leier, North Dakota Game and Fish Biologist|Jan 29, 2024

    January 7 was the official end date for archery deer, pheasant, grouse, partridge and turkey seasons in North Dakota. While squirrel season is open through Feb 29, most of the hunting seasons are over. With spring snow goose officially opening in February and the spring turkey season opening April 13, I need to remind you the next round of hunter education classes begins when the last hunting seasons wrap up. State law requires anyone born after December 31, 1961, to pass a certified hunter...

  • Reuniting with friends

    Erik Gjovik|Jan 29, 2024

    In the olden days before the three-division split, namely just last year, the Carrington and Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier girls could be counted on to provide some of the most entertaining and spirited games in the District 5 season. The stakes are much lower now, as this year's tussle of the Cards/Rebels was merely a non-conference game between Division A and B schools and not the grudge match of past campaigns. Both teams proved that the competitive juices still flow in Edgeley Saturday, January...

  • Tips for staying safe on early ice in North Dakota

Ice thickness is not consistent, as it can vary significantly within a few inches. • Avoid cracks, pressure ridges, slushy or darker areas that signal thinner ice. The same goes for ice that fo...
