Blaze orange hats dotted the Minnesota State Capitol on Wednesday, March 27, as the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association convened for its annual “MDHA Day on the Hill.”
The event, dormant since 2019 thanks to the pandemic, saw approximately 30 members in attendance, engaging in both group activities and individual meetings with legislators. Jared Mazurek, MDHA executive director, noted that the group’s size typically ranges from eight to 50 attendees, making this year’s turnout robust.

Nature Smart: Sandhill cranes on the Platte River

It was just before the pandemic that I’d last gone to see one of the most amazing natural spectacles in North America: the annual migration of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) in south-central Nebraska. For the previous 30-plus years, I’d led a trip to view the crane migration each spring.
This year I had an incredible group of 10 who were fun and excited to see the cranes.

Tundra swans were passing through the middle of the country in early March, and Erin Wortley was lucky enough to spot a big group on a local lake at sunset. “It was an amazing sight to see,” she said. These beautiful birds were on their way to breeding grounds in Alaska and northern Canada from wintering grounds along the South Atlantic coast.

Panfish rule the Goose Lake roost in Minnesota’s Chisago County, but options are many

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Minnesota /

Chisago County’s Goose Lake consists of two basins that total a bit more than 750 acres. The basins are connected by a narrow but navigable channel that runs under a county road bridge.
The north end, where the public access is located, is basically bowl-shaped and shallow. The south basin features more structure and it’s deeper, so this is where you’ll want to concentrate most of your fishing efforts, especially during the open-water season.

Steve Carney: Enjoy your geese the jerky way

Cooking, Features, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, Pro Tips, Recipes /

I love cooking game birds as much as I do walleyes and crappies, and over the years I’ve tried cooking Canada geese in a variety of ways, from crockpots to stir-fry, but I just hadn’t found a way I liked to eat it until I began making jerky.
The past two seasons I have harvested a few geese and kept the breasts in a freezer, and now I think I’ve come up with two jerky recipes that work for me.
