Mike Schoonveld: Boating fatality numbers at all-time low

I am a frequent boater and have been most of my life. I don’t think of boating as a particularly unsafe activity (it’s not) but I also don’t think of it as more or less safe now than when I started boating decades ago.

In an attempt to satisfy these longings, some revisit trail camera photos from years past and look to the season ahead, while others try filling their time with other season-appropriate activities.

Streams of Thought: Nominate outdoor leaders from your Minnesota communities

It’s nearly August (how can that be?), so it’s the time of year again when we at Outdoor News send out the call for nominations for our Outdoor Leaders Award.

For years now it’s been my privilege to get to know the members of groups who strive year-round to improve not only the conditions for the state’s fish and wildlife but also for members of their local community.
