Even though most of those cold dark days of winter are in our review mirror, contributor Jeff Benda shares this recipe that he said is the kind of stew that makes the upper Midwest winter feel manageable, one spoonful at a time. He said this pozole fills the house with an amazing aroma.

Jeff says that spearing pike is equal parts, stillness and adrenaline. “You sit quietly in a dark house, breath fogging the air, staring into water so clear it feels like another world. Then, out of nowhere, a long green shape appears, curious and unhurried.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a busy parent, it’s that cooking up some of the venison I bring home from a hunt needs to be quick, delicious, and preferably something that doesn’t leave my kitchen looking like a war zone. And, of course, if you can make that meal double as a football party crowd-pleaser, that’s a win-win!
In about 30 minutes, your family and friends can enjoy these Venison Cheeseburger Sliders.

The number of deer-hunting gun licenses in North Dakota is being cut again in 2025, continuing a downward trend that has spanned a decade.
The N.D. Game and Fish Department has allocated 42,300 deer gun licenses for the upcoming season – a reduction of 7,800 licenses from last year and a drop of more than 27,000 licenses compared with the year 2000. NDG&F officials say the reduction reflects ongoing challenges to the state’s deer population.
This colorful fried northern pike and peach cherry tomato salad with a delicious herb vinaigrette is an epic combo and what contributor Jeff Benda describes as “summer on a plate.”
Featuring summer sweet peaches and cherries, juicy ripe tomatoes, fresh basil and salad greens all tossed together, Jeff feels it not only serves as the perfect dinner to enjoy out on the patio with friends and family but also gives you something fresh and flavorful.

When Christian Levitt, of Buffalo, N.D., drew a once-in-a-lifetime bull moose tag in 2022, he understood how special the opportunity was. Nearly 9,000 hunters had applied for a chance to hunt in the northwestern unit near Minot that year. Just 36 tags were issued.
Levitt, who lives about 250 miles from the hunting unit, faced a difficult task. Unfamiliar with the area and unsure where to begin scouting, he turned to a surprising source for help: a group of local women from a quilting club.
