Leier: Hunter safety has own 10 commandments

For many of us, the transition from summer recreation to fall isn’t as gradual as we’d like. Many of my hunting friends are involved in other activities like softball and golf, and the only valid comparison between those and hunting is about the same as the comparison between fishing and hunting: they all take place outdoors.

CRP sign-up a first step in process

Applications accepted at local USDA offices until Aug. 27
Whether we like it or not, it’s part of human nature to take for granted things that become part of our lives or benefit us over the long term.

Leier: Getting out message on CRP ongoing goal

Whether we like it or not, it’s part of human nature to take for granted things that become part of our lives or benefit us over the long term. The only way we can truly appreciate the value of what we have, is to have less of it.

N.D. OUTDOORS: Debate over 'fish hogs'

N.D. OUTDOORS: Debate over 'fish hogs' Each year from summer to winter, I’m peppered with reports, complaints and discussions about “fish hogs,” a less-than-flattering tag used by some anglers to describe other anglers who supposedly take more than their fair share of fish, even though they are not exceeding the daily limit.

Leier: Anglers in North Dakota keep watchful eye

North Dakota home to 3 freshwater shrimp species

As a child growing up in northwestern North Dakota, seafood was a special treat, to the point that even fish sticks were considered a pretty rare dinner at home.

Fishing: The perfect summer activity

Fishing: The perfect summer activity I’m sorry to bring it up, but more summer — the season, not the calendar dates — is now behind us rather than in front of us. We’re just weeks away from the first day of school and not too many days from fall practice for high school and college activities.

Leier: Still enough summer left to get out fishing

I’m sorry to bring it up, but more summer – the season, not the calendar dates – is now behind us than in front of us. We’re just weeks away from the first day of school and not too many days from fall practice for high school and college activities.

Ounce of prevention against nuisance species

Ounce of prevention against nuisance species For the better part of 10 years, I’ve written a weekly column, none of which have explored the topic of livewells. But the recent discovery of a zebra mussel veliger in the Red River is changing that.
