The weekend would go on to bring some highs, namely their first win of the season, and some lows, beginning with their opening round match-up with the St. John Woodchucks. St. John began scoring early and often against NR-S, inflicting much of their damage from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Rockets' turnovers were keeping them at arm's length for most of the game....

  • The Peluso Report: Cautiously getting out there

    Mike Peluso|Dec 27, 2021

    The cold snap has finally hit the northern portion of North Dakota and it has allowed us to finally start venturing around on area lakes. While it’s still not safe thickness for truck traffic yet, ATVs are starting to get around on many of the lakes in the upper half of the state.

Sometimes the process takes well over thirty seconds before the whirring T slows down and the force of nature on the other end takes a break from its underwater jaunt. That's because pike are creatures of speed, sprinters capable of blasting across a short distance at an incredible pace...

  • CWD: A Threat to Tradition

    John Bradley|Dec 27, 2021

    It starts with countless hours of scouting, days sitting in the stand or miles of boot leather burned. It is late nights and cold early mornings with family and friends. It is moments when, if everything goes to plan, a shot rings out and the deer dies quickly. And it then is moments throughout the next year of healthy delicious meals.
