July 27, 2012 Ah, memories of the Dirty Chicks ATV ride at Docs in Sturgeon Lake. . But, this ride is different, a little more mellow and with a history lesson.
July 24, 2012 The MN DNR will be holding a deer hunting clinic for those interested in the Minnesota pastime on August 12th in Mora, MN. The clinic will teach youth 10 and older deer habits, how to track dear, and other techniques. Like how not to totally screw up like this dude did.
July 20, 2012 Murphy's law always applies to me. Here's some ridiculous things that have happened to me while fishing.
1. Forget to put the drain plug in the boat. With new DNR laws, you're suppose to always travel with the drain plug out. After years o
July 18, 2012 It may not be illegal to swim in Lake Superior when the winds are strong and the waves are raging, but it certainly is putting your life at risk. I remember growing up and hearing my parents telling me to respect Lake Superior as it is so dangerous. We've already had one young person perish in the lake this year, now we almost had a second.
July 18, 2012 If you have not experienced the beauty of the North Shore, you must! There are so many different areas to explore and marvel at nature and how water and weather have shaped our world. One such area will be getting an upgrade for your comfort while you explore. Tettegouche State Park.
July 10, 2012 Do you have a bit of time to lend to the Parks and Rec Department of the City of Duluth? There are several projects that are in need of volunteers to be completed. Grab some friends and family members and make memories, while you help the City's nature trails.
July 9, 2012 I thought, "Now I've heard of everything!" But, there is some logic in taking tree inventory. The information gathered will be used to determine our species diversity, age diversity of the trees, calculate benefits of our urban forest, such as lbs. of carbon sequestered, and the number of gallons of storm water runoff avoided because of the trees, which amounts to more than a million gallons a year. The collected information will also be used to determine where the City can plant more trees in the future.
July 5, 2012 The Animal Planet show "Body Found" is a fiction documentary about mermaids. It's blended with facts and story telling and looks just like a documentary. It's got a lot of people thinking that mermaids do exist and calls have been coming in to the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
July 3, 2012 The Jay Cooke State Park will remain closed indefinitely following the historic flood on June 20th, 2012. Highway 210 that runs through the park is washed away near the bridge and much of the park has been washed away as well.
June 4, 2012 I've seen pictures of these pests that my friends post on Facebook and the DNR confirms that Forest Tent Caterpillars, or 'Army Worms' are making themselves known again this year. But, according to a story from the Minneapolis-Star Tribune , this is just a setup for what is expected to be a major outbreak in a few years. They set a record in 2002-03, clearing 7.5 million acres of hardwood trees of their leaves in central and northern Minnesota.
June 4, 2012 I've had a curse put on since the last walleye I missed in July 2006. I had pretty good luck, catching nice walleyes all that summer. Then one day, I missed the biggest walleye of my life. The thing was huge, well over 30 inches.
May 31, 2012 I haven't laughed this hard out loud for a while. Bill Dance, master fisherman has had some pretty hilarious bloopers over the years. I think we can all relate, me especially. Take a look and have a laugh!
