My first game warden station was in Bottineau, N.D. Having spent time there in junior college, the uniqueness of the Turtle Mountain’s fish, wildlife and habitat was part of the outdoors DNA, which gave north central North Dakota its own unique identity.
One of the few areas with huntable populations of ruffed grouse and the international shared waters of Lake Metigoshe was a draw for hunters, anglers and anyone who appreciates the array of species and opportunities.
