The Legends of Late Season

The Late Season Hunting Advantage

Doug Leier By Doug Leier When most hunters think about prime time for pheasants, grouse or whitetails in North Dakota, early November usually comes to mind. Those crisp mornings, full stands of cover, and fields humming with activity. But there’s a quiet opening near the season’s back end – late November into early December – that’s too often overlooked. For hunters willing to bundle up and slow down, it can offer some of the most rewarding time afield all year....

The Peluso Report: A Strong Finish

Mike Peluso By Mike Peluso What a month it has been! After grinding it out through September and for half of October, these past 30 plus days have been something special when it comes to fishing walleyes on the Missouri River in Bismarck! When I hear people say: “we must have caught a hundred,” for the most part I think that’s a good fishing story....

NDG&F Monitoring Fall Bird Flu

NDG&F Release The North Dakota Game and Fish Department (NDG&F) is monitoring sick and dead birds across the state in response to increasing reports from the public. Dr. Logan Weyand, Department wildlife veterinarian, said Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza is likely the cause and has been confirmed through testing this fall. Understandably, most of the reports of sick and dead birds in the last two weeks have been snow geese and other waterfowl as HPAI is documented to coincide with seasonal migrations of these species and is expected this time of year....
