If you’re a Minnesota pheasant hunter, consider yourself lucky to have the Brown County chapter of Pheasants Forever on the beat in south-central Minnesota.
The chapter does a great many things for wildlife conservation and pheasant hunters young and old – whether they live in Brown County or travel there every autumn to hunt. For its many volunteers’ efforts and commitment to wildlife conservation and improvements to hunting, the Brown County chapter has been chosen the 2025 recipient of the Outdoor Leaders Award, given annually by Outdoor News.

Ron Nerva realized his out-of-state waterfowl-hunting plans were sliced in half Aug. 1. That’s when he read about changes to North Dakota’s rules for nonresident hunters.
Nerva, a waterfowler from Tomahawk, Wis., has owned a hunting camp in Esmond, N.D., since 2003. Since then, each fall in the past, he’d hunted ducks and geese for the maximum of 14 days that out-of-staters were allowed. But his plans for this October have been thwarted by rule changes.
Washington County grain farmer Jim Lindley is cautiously optimistic that new and improved Pennsylvania Game Commission programs for agricultural producers will help rein in an overabundance of deer wreaking havoc on his crops and his livelihood.
They include a revamped Agricultural Deer Control Program (Ag Tag, formerly Red Tag) and the new Certified Hunter Program, which aims to match farmers with vetted sportsmen.

For many of our readers this is a far cry from how we grew up.

Guys my age remember when Lake Erie was called the Dead Sea.
It was an amalgam of industrial waste and sewage, so polluted that one of its tributaries – the Cuyahoga River – actually caught fire (1969) and the lake was even closed for a year to recreational fishing in Michigan (1970) because the fish were too contaminated to eat. Now it is probably the best walleye fishery in the world.
