Years ago, when Ralph Warzecha wanted to hunt turkeys he traveled east to states like Pennsylvania, Vermont, and New York.
There were no turkeys around his home near Eagle Bend in central Minnesota and he never thought there would be. He’s glad he was wrong about that.
“They’re here and it’s awesome,” Warzecha said.

Minnesota anglers are lucky to have access to amazing smallmouth bass waters, but these lakes, while productive, are fragile.
They can’t handle heavy pressure during the spring spawn, when fish are guarding nests and reproduction is at its most vulnerable. Growing up, I remember yellow signs posted every spring reminding everyone to stay out of bass and crappie spawning areas – and for very good reason.

Not so many years ago, a friend and I paddled kayaks down lower Pickerel Creek on the south side of Sandusky Bay in Ohio’s 3,200-acre Pickerel Creek State Wildlife Area.
It was enjoyable, a pleasant late-spring adventure highlighted by migrating songbirds and nesting waterfowl. But the scenery was a mite dull. Long ago, the creek largely was straightened, channelized, to hasten runoff of silt – prime farmland eroded by carelessness.

A Minnesota DNR K9 is being remembered for his service and community impact after dying of leukemia last month.
K9 Fennec served five years as part of a DNR K9 team. He spent his last three years with DNR Conservation Officer Michael Fairbanks as his handler. Fairbanks said the loss of K9 Fennec has been deeply felt, personally and across the Deer River community he serves.
“I spent more time with Fennec than I did with my own family,” Fairbanks said.

My “chosen place” is right here in the Driftless Area.
To put a finer point on it, the southeast corner of Minnesota. Within a 60-mile radius of my house run more than 700 miles of trout streams. My biggest decision each day is which stream to fish, usually all to myself.

Thirty years ago, I was fortunate enough to draw a bear permit. That was the only year I’ve been able to hunt for bears.
I’ve never had the chance to hunt for an elk in Michigan and I’ve never had someone say, “Congratulations! Come pick up this shotgun and all this hunting and outdoor equipment that you just won!” That’s all going to change, sometime in the near future. I’m almost sure of it.

On March 14, the annual Ohio State Trappers Association (OSTA) fur auction in Kidron went smoothly, thanks to the efforts behind the scenes by some 25 volunteers, according to auction coordinator Shawn Bentley.
The Kidron site had no power for most of Saturday, March 14, but Jedd and Ryan Sprunger made sure that the OSTA auction was good to go with generators. Ryan kept the tractors that were running the generators fueled up until the last of the volunteers departed around 9 p.m., according to Bentley.
