 Field Care Tips: Preserving Your Trophy
By: Jamie Risovi
Deer opener throughout much of the country is considered a holiday to most deer hunters. This is especially true for over 60,000 North Dakotan hunters that enter the field. Some are entering for table fare while others enter for the buck of a lifetime but one thing is for sure...we all enter the field for the memories. In doing so, we need to take the necessary steps to ensure our harvest is properly cared for. Award winning taxidermist Jamie Risovi from New Rockford, ND has some helpful tips for both field dressing and preparation for preserving your trophy... | read on»

Bill Schneider
If you like to fish for walleyes--often called “eyes” because they need such big ones to gather as much light as possible down at the bottom of the lake where they almost always dwell--you’re probably like me and dream about fishing South Dakota’s Oahe Reservoir. I finally had my chance last month, and now, I’m already trying to figure out how to get back there for more. Oahe is one of South Dakota’s Great Lakes, highly acclaimed as one of the best walleye fisheries in the world. And it’s massive, to say the least, | |  Walleye and Wind

The feeding frenzy continued as the morning went forward… | |  South Dakota's Missouri System Set For Banner Year
By: Carl Madson
While walleye attract most of the notoriety and while Lake Oahe is known far and wide as one of the nation’s top walleye fishing destinations, Riis admits that there are other opportunities for anglers that are awfully good right now. “The salmon fishing on the lower end of Lake Oahe should be really good this year.” Also, Lake Sharpe and Frances Case both are top walleye producers but often get overshadowed by... | |  Digging up Bones
Tony Mariotti
Every spring I set out on a quest to the woods to find these bones. I head out on weekend afternoons to areas that I have driven by and seen deer feeding or areas that I know have held a big buck during the fall that I was unable to harvest during the legal season.
By locating an antler that has been shed, I can............ | | |
