In the mid-1980s video games were just taking off, and thankfully the quarter required pay to play was not really easy to pry out of my dad's pocket. Because of that, friends and school activities were the primary diversions that kept me from outdoor activities...

| Habitat on the Prarie |

|
Last year’s pheasant harvest was likely higher than in any year since the mid-1940s. The past winter was relatively mild which should have meant fairly good carryover of birds. While abundant rains over much of the state could inhibit nest success and brood survival to some extent, across the board, winter weather, habitat and hatching conditions haven't shifted too far out of the average ranges...

I've found few activities that are more relaxing than spending an hour or even a minute casting a line. Even while typing, I can hear the rustle of the river and see a lure breaking the plane of water and sinking toward my next catch...

| Slowing the spread of aquatic nuisance species |
