NORTH DAKOTA OUTDOORS: Much to be thankful for outdoors
Over the years, I’ve tried to make this column somewhat seasonal, writing about fishing in the spring and hunting in the fall, and following the latest conservation issues and outdoor topics.

Conditions favor state's estimated 7.5 million pheasants
Thousands of hunters will head into South Dakota’s fields today, chasing roughly 7.5 million pheasants, most of which are concentrated in the central and eastern reaches of the state.
Who has the advantage?
