Paddling to your duck spot? Here are ways to be more successful

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

A drake wood duck blazed past me as I leaned against an old cottonwood tree that stood alongside a narrow slough in the Mississippi River bottoms of southeastern Minnesota. I shouldered my 12 gauge and swung and shot as it passed by, dropping the bird into the water.
A moment later, a second woodie followed the same path, only to meet a similar fate. With two birds on the water and no dog to do the dirty work for me, I climbed into my kayak and paddled out to retrieve them.

Jeffrey Frischkorn: Outdoor memories may get foggy, but they never fully fade

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, National Fishing, National Hunting, Ohio /

The older we get, the more cluttered our mind’s memory box becomes. That trophy buck you shot five years ago was actually taken 10 years ago. And the photo of the six anglers standing along with a 36-fish limit of walleye was really taken in 2018, not 2023.
And so it goes. For us oldsters, mixing up our memory filing is both disappointing and funny.
