One of WRD’s biggest take aways from January’s public meetings to determine hunting regulations for the next two hunting seasons appeared to be that hunters wanted more opportunity to harvest does.

Taking that one step further, boating one after an hour-long fight using an ultralight crappie fishing setup using just 6-lb. line may have…

Nicholas Leeson has a new good-luck charm he will be keeping in his back pocket—or at least in the back of the boat—when he fishes the remaining seven catfish tournaments with the M&J Catfish War crew.

Read MoreLeave Nothing In The Tank
I was running my trap line one morning recently when the phone rang. “Ready to come get this stuff?” my buddy asked. I whirled around and five minutes later I was standing in a barn drooling over a workbench full of trapping gear. My friend’s dad passed away some months back, and he knew I…
