Many archers swear by fixed broadheads but it’s really about personal choice. Here is some exclusive insight into my impressions.

October is the best month of the fishing and hunting season. There is so much going on that there aren’t enough hours in the day. Looking back, my October has been great as it winds down and we look ahead to November.

Fall turkey hunting is a matter of chance.
Our Minnesota population is excellent, and turkeys remain the game bird of the future. I constantly have turkeys around my various archery deer hunting treestands. They’re usually coming in around a half hour before sunset, then casually make their way eating and browsing in the vicinity.

I believe when I was born, the man upstairs gave me absolutely zero ability to determine direction in the woods. My cronies always give me a hard time because I frequently get turned around in the dark and disoriented. Is it old age or loss of outdoor skills?
Last week I got turned around after a bow sit and managed to find myself lost in a tamarack swamp.

When I got the word about being selected for Minnesota’s 2026 Fishing Hall of Fame class, I was surprised. This was never on my bucket list but I am truly honored. Being recognized by your peers is huge no matter what your passion.
First, I think about the innovators and originators who started the fishing explosion of the 1970s and ’80s. People like the Lindners, Randy Amenrud, Gary Roach, Duane Peterson, Ray Goldow, Marv Koep, and others who propelled us young people into the fishing frenzy.

Ten-year-old Emmet Horn of Henning, Minn., went on his first duck hunt of his young life recently during the youth opener for waterfowl. His mentor on the hunt lent him his ancient .410 bolt action shotgun and off they went.

For those not reading their Outdoor News, the DNR has changed its format for tagging and registering your deer and turkeys.
Not being super computer-savvy, it took me about an hour to try and download the DNR app. What I didn’t know was that my Google Play app was disabled, therefore not allowing me to download the license app.
The 2026 hunting seasons are here in Minnesota and I opened the dove season with solid success. I had permission on a 35-acre wheat field along the South Dakota border and had some good shooting the first two mornings.
It was a weird hunt as most of the birds that approached us were in small groups of one and two with no large flocks. Here are some tips that helped me make the hunt a success.
