South Dakota Morning Dove Season Opens September 1 Tony Dean If you looked at the history of mourning dove hunting in South Dakota, you'd expect the fields to be crowded with hunters. But in spite of a pair of statewide votes, the first of the fall hunting seasons doesn't attract that many hunters, while it is considered the No. 1 game bird in much of the South. I suspect that's because South Dakotans enjoy so much quality hunting that simply isn't available in other states. In fact, pheasant hunting far out-distances prairie grouse gunning here.

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...

The Eyes of Oahe 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 By: Jason Mitchell The affect of wind on walleye is almost cliché. Follow the wind or fish the windy shore. Wind stacks up baitfish and then the walleye follow. The reality is however that this cliché is only right half the time so this theory is just another half truth. There are so many scenarios where wind has a negative affect on walleye location and movements. There are many times where we are more productive avoiding the wind and the more we can recognize just when wind is...

Fishing for the Future By: Mark Bry A young boy went fishing with his dad on Beaver Creak Bay of Lake Sakakawea. It was a clear and sunny North Dakota day. The boy sat at the back of the boat as his dad fished getting ready to pull lindy rigs tipped with leeches. As they fished along a point in 14 to 17 feet of water the boy began catching walleyes as his lindy-rig hit the bottom of the lake. The feeding frenzy continued as the morning went forward…

Why Fish Radio Episode 32 From: Radio This week we go on a rant about the local media. There is a great catfish tournament in town called Cats Incredible. It is one of the most popular and best run tournaments in the country and the local media seems to have forgotten about it. They are more interested in the activities around it than that actual tournament. No where could you find the leaders going into day 2. We also talk about the finding of zebra muscles in Mille Lacs Lake Minnesota. Aquatic Nuisance species are getting closer and people just don't care. THIS IS SERIOUS! It is a subject that needs to be spoken of more. We will try to get an interview with the head of ANS prevention from the North Dakota Game and Fish in the near future.
Terry's Tenure Begins From: North Dakota Outdoors Terry Steinwand has all the credentials of a down to earth North Dakotan. He grew up on a farm near Garrison and became accustomed to long days of hard work. He took that work ethic with him when he accepted a job with the Game and Fish Department in the fisheries division nearly 23 years ago. And it's that same fundamental moral compass that should serve him well in his new position.
