Each spring comes in its own sweet time. Some years the ice is long gone by now and other winters like this one seem to last extra long. Whichever way it happens, it always seems to come all at once, once it decides to warm up.
For spring fishermen, water temperatures are the key to the spring...
In the late 1800s, a Nodaway County hunter sighted down his rifle barrel on a large brown animal. He skillfully pressed the trigger and the rifle bucked. A few minutes later he stood over his kill. It was an elk, or Wapiti and it would provide a lot of meat for his family, and bragging rights in...

Ian Morris of Kingston is shown with the deer he shot on the opening day of gun season. Ian had already filled his bow tags with another eight point buck and two does. He hunts with his dad Nick Morris Jr. on the home place.
Due to the way the calendar works, the firearms deer season opened about as late this year as it ever will under the current format used by the Department of Conservation. It should have been a bonus for archery hunters but the start of the “extra week” saw single digit temperatures and a little...
For the past month, I have slipped off to a tree stand in the woods or spent the last few hours of daylight in a blind just off a clover field with my bow hanging close by as often as I could. I had noticed that I had been hearing white fronted geese, sometimes called speckled bellies, passing...
It’s safe to say that fall turkey hunting used to be a bigger deal in the Show-Me-State. Twenty years ago, hunters killed 15,000 wild turkeys in the fall. Turkey checking information through Oct. 20 of this year (about two thirds of the season), stood at 2,175 birds. That includes both the archery...
October's full moon rose early on Sunday the 13th. The Farmer's Almanac refers to this moon as The Hunter's Moon.
