In the past year, I've talked to many different people about their careers. This year, though, I want to try to experience those careers too. After all, the best way of learning is through experience. This month I visited the studio of award-winning taxidermist Jamie Risovi. That's right, "Mr. Risovi" as he's known at New Rockford-Sheyenne School is more than a middle school teacher. He is a world-renowned taxidermist. Jamie's specialty is the white-tail deer, which are plentiful in this area....
The arrow barely hung from its tip stuck smack dab in the middle of the blue circle on the large black block 10 yards out from the line on the floor which my now six-year-old son straddled in the open shoot section of the archery range. If I didn’t see it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it, but there it was, flung by the half-draw of an excited little boy holding the beginner compound bow with a string so loose it had popped off the top cam just a few shots before. It was his seventh arrow eve...

As January fades into memory and anglers eye up a faster bite as the back half of winter settles in, a number of conditions are at play which will help angling improve through the ice and provide a portent for what can be expected for spring and summer populations when waters open up. With dissolved oxygen and light penetration being significant items of concern, and forage not as much of an issue, North Dakota Game & Fish Department (NDG&F) Fisheries Management Supervisor Paul Bailey shares...
The Gotcha is another simple shrimp imitator for saltwater species that has become a secret weapon for slab crappies up north. With its shimmering krystal flash tail, gummy ribbing and flowy wing of fur and flash, the Gotcha can claim a top spot in any panfish box when spring arrives and to be without a selection of them from sizes six to two is to be without a compact, flashy offering that drives specks wild.
