The last few days have been quite deceptive. While I love the sunshine streaming through my windows, the bright sun and blue sky are masking the real weather story— the bitter cold.

Yesterday when I was complaining about the cold and said that it was time to move somewhere with a mor...

January in the upper Midwest is the sportsman's most challenging month. Major hunting seasons have ended, the flash of fins from early ice begins to slow down as the winter doldrums set in, and typically the temperatures are the lowest of the year and the conditions are the most challenging.

While the days may seem to drag...
