Outdoor Observations: Here’s hoping common sense prevails in CDC regulation on importing dogs

Featured, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Opinion /

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created a new dog import regulation that took effect August 1. But the new regulation is so broad and intrusive for dog breeders and owners that Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation last week filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan against the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services to overturn the new regulation.

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Ohio /

The two reservoirs in this northwest Ohio city supply nice, clear drinking water to the city of Delta, but neither will make anyone’s list of top fisheries.

Despite all the world’s “progress,” there’s still something special about the local bait shop

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

At some point, I suppose many people look back on their childhood and think, I didn’t know it at the time, but I had it pretty good.
That certainly was the case for me, in many ways, but I’m also pretty sure I knew it at the time. We didn’t live in the country, per se, but the bike ride into town was a couple of miles or so, and it was essentially a straight shot from our house to the corner market that sold the selection of candy you dreamed about. I was a fool for fishing, too, and if you disobeyed your parents just enough to hook a right at the corner store and pedal another quarter mile or so down the street, you’d wind up at a bait shop.
