With New Year's Eve typically the last day of bow hunting in most northern tier states, tho...

With the ultimate goal of adding more than 7,200 acres of wildlife habitat in the region known for rearing a large portion of the nation's waterfowl populations, the program will analyze the...
The winter of 2019-20 was a split personality to say the least. East of the Missouri River, the state was plagued with heavy snow, colder temperatures and a prolonged season. West of the flow, it was a virtual banana belt with light snow events and minimal ground cover from December to March.

The full color, 3-by-5 foot banners have been hung up on street light poles throughout New Rockford's downtown and wi...
Eddy County has one (1) new active case of COVID-19. However, local agencies have not released any further information about the individual. "I do not have any more information for now," Tiffany Harr, Eddy County Public Information Officer, said in an email reply to the Transcript.

This case is puzzling because no information other than the county of residence and source of spread has been released, not even age or...
