    Outdoor Magazine Articles

    I've worked professionally for outdoor industry mags, and now freelance. Here's what they're looking for: 1) Clean, clear, concise copy: If you're a no-name with no following in the outdoor world, putting your best foot forward means making sure your copy is clear, clean and concise. Run-on...

    No Drink January

    I've never been much of a "never, always, black-and-white" kind of person. Sure, there's exceptions to the rule. But by and large, I've tried to live by my Grandpa Ray's motto: Everything in moderation. Guy, you've obviously seen some pretty significant changes and personal growth milestones...

    Top 5 Flood this Spring?

    Got my flood insurance a month ago. I'm about two blocks from the Red, but I'm also some of the highest elevation in Fargo. No wet basements in 97 or 09. I'm prepared, but not all that worried. The schmucks in south Fargo are in trouble, though. Especially everyone building in the 100-year...

    35 Trespassing Violations in 2019

    You forget that the pro trespass law crowd quickly pivots to say this has nothing to do with hunting; that what they experience in the fall is but a mere whisper to the yearlong anguish they face. Clearly, there must but thousands, nay, TENS of thousands of violations outside the hunting...

    35 Trespassing Violations in 2019

    That may work during hunting seasons, except the pro trespass law crowd is quick to point out "this isn't about hunting." At least, that's their claim (despite the fact the impact of proposed statewide auto-posted laws will effect hunters far more than any other group). So if you truly want to...

    35 Trespassing Violations in 2019

    By that account, the argument for changing the laws is even weaker. "So you don't even go through the proper channels now to prosecute trespassers? Than how do you know the laws need to change if you're not utilizing them currently?"

    Dicamba Drift?

    "The jury’s verdict also found the companies conspired to damage crops in order to increase profits of dicamba-tolerant seed and related herbicides." Gree-ee-ee-easy.

    Sioux/Gophers tonight at 7pm.

    Minnesota is in Top 20 again. At least they're ranked. Not seeing them somewhere in the top of the standings is unsettling, even as a Sioux fan.

    anyone heating with coal?

    Um no. I work for a residential HVAC service and repair company. The single most expensive repairs (and most problematic systems) we routinely stumble across are geo thermal. Compressors need to be special ordered as nobody around keeps them in stock. Turn-around time can take 1-2 weeks, and...

    Let the buyer beware. NOT

    I think that's the key, you need to find a competent home inspector; "competent" being the operant word. We used Nordic Home Inspections when we purchased in 2012, and they were exceptional. Super thorough, and caught some issues that saved us thousands of dollars as we were able to negotiate...

    Pheasant Food Plot Mix

    PF has a lot of good resources if you're truly interested in habitat improvements. They'll also be the first to tell you there's no one-mix fix. It comes down to varying types of plants and whatnot to keep pheasants fat and happy 12 months out of the year. KDM hit it on the head. All the food...

    Sioux/Gophers tonight at 7pm.

    I think it points more to the parity that is college hockey, in general. You can have a standout team and not get a national championship, and you can have a mediocre team that somehow finds all the right pieces when it matters most, and hangs a banner on their wall. It's not like NDSU's...

    If you didn't hunt/fish

    It's funny when these types of conversations come up, because my wife used to give me hell about how much I hunted and fished. My rebuttal has always been: Fine, I'll sell my stuff, buy a new gaming system and bigger TV, turn the garage into a man cave, and be like every other husband you hear...

    If you didn't hunt/fish

    I'd probably wind up just like all my other non-hunting friends: obsessed with mediocre professional sports teams, have a very unhealthy relationship with fried foods and booze, and take up something mind-numbingly boring that combined these things, such as bowling or golf.

    No Drink January

    If one of the tickets to quitting wanting a beer is to eliminate the triggers, then I guess I need to retire at 35. Without fail when I punch out, the urge for just a simple Busch Light is strong. I have found that flavored/carbonated water isn't a bad substitute. I don't particularly like the...

    End of Season

    Since I got my first dog 9 years ago, this was the last amount of pheasant hunting I accomplished. I went out once, shot 2 birds, Dog No. 2 had a seizure, then the snow came. Never made it out again. Did shoot a fair amount of ducks and geese, though. And I got my buck on rifle opener. So...

    What a Shame....

    Walker is a pretty hoppin' town as it is, so I'm sure the local establishments will weather this in time. But it's gotta sting -- drunken debauchery is always good for someone else's bank account.

    Poop socks and underwear

    Red Lake has seem many shenanigans from our party over the course of nearly a decade. But nothing tops "The Obelisk." As so often happens, our annual trip to URL coincided with a nasty cold front. Double-digits below zero and ground-blizzard white outs are the norm, and this particular year was...

    Tomorrows the day

    Sorry man. Hang in there. I'm not prepared for my own dogs fateful days, so I can only imagine what you're going through.
