Inside the Outdoors: Some options for your wild game menu (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The start of the 2026 general waterfowl hunting season arrived on a rain-soaked Saturday, Sept. 26, and with that, the majority of hunting seasons are now in full swing. Yet to open are the fall turkey season on Oct. 3, pheasant on Oct. 10, and firearms deer hunt on Nov. 7. As a follow-up to last column’s thoughts on making the most of game we harvest, here are several recipes that might add variety to a reader’s wild game menu. This recipe comes from my wife’s late uncle, an avid waterfowl hunt
Inside the Outdoors: There's life after forest fire death (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, Superior National Forest officials were finally able to announce containment of multiple fires that collectively burned more than 70,000 acres in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), and in several northern Minnesota areas outside the wilderness.

When you follow a stream’s twisting course from pool to pool, or skirt around foamy riffles where its waters tumble over a boulder-paved streambed, you might do mo
Inside the Outdoors: New DNR duck plan is controversial, to say the least (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As is typical this time of year, farmers are making their second cutting of hay, acorns are beginning to break loose from their moorings and drop from oak trees, and the first deciduous leaves are turning yellow and beginning to fall. And, many of us are entertaining thoughts of the hunting seasons, the first of which are just weeks away. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has hunting on its collective mind, too, as evidenced by its recent news release that solicited input from
