12/31/2012 12:20:00 PMWith good ice on many northern lakes anglers are getting out and having great success. While a lot of the attention is being focused on panfish, don't rule out early season walleyes and northern pike as they can provide excellent action at this time of the year. They both put up a hefty battle through the ice and they make for great table far...

12/21/2012 12:00:00 PMDenny Murawska Closing day of deer hunting season Just as the opening day of any season brings with it a certain tingling of anticipation, closing day brings with it its own bittersweet emotions. A few years back, I experienced a pretty typical season. You would think it would be so much easier to bag a buck with a gun as opposed to archery gear,...

12/21/2012 11:35:00 AMDenny Murawska Not for the faint of heart The nights are long and every day cold penetrates to the bone. Still, cabin fever in the north is a very real thing. This is why we must get out and seize the moment whenever possible. For some, it is cross country skiing. For the nostalgic, perhaps snowshoeing is a good option. Of course, ice fishing, hi...

12/20/2012 5:15:00 PMBy Darrell Pendergrass My wife and I share a closet, she keeps her stuff on the left side and I keep mine on the right. It’s a fairly simple rule. On occasion Queenie will purchase a new shirt or sweater for me and hang it on my side; that’s how I know I have something new to wear. It’s hanging on my side. OK, one day some month...

12/20/2012 5:10:00 PMBy Darrell Pendergrass The problem with warm weather at any point in the winter is that immediately my thoughts turn to the Brule River and fishing for steelhead trout, which is strictly not a winter sport. Not for me. I guess it’s the smell of spring that comes with the warm temperatures that does it. It’s the feel of April. It...

Unlike animals like raccoons and muskrats which are creatures of habit, and can be caught the very next night, coyotes are quite unpredictable. I would put them on par with a trophy whitetail or bla...

It also makes a guy a little nervous walking through t...
