  • It goes all too quickly

    Oct 18, 2017

    It’s all going by too quickly. I worry I’ll miss something. Since Sept. 1 I’ve been hunting more days than not. For the first two weeks of the season the weather remained hot and dry, and I only hunted the first hours of daylight. Most mornings found me in a creek bottom where there was water for the dogs. They flushed sharptail and sage grouse out of the scant cover, and occasionally I managed to hit one. Some mornings the grouse were scarce, and the pheasants and ducks -- not yet in season -- offered shots I couldn’t take. Now that both ar...

    The recent storm tore through Phillips County and it destroyed power poles so many residents were left without electricity and had no water.

    Dixie Stordahl, PCN Correspondent|Oct 18, 2017

    I saw a gopher on my way home on the cut across this week! I thought they were all tucked in for the winter, but this one was still quite active!

The North Country Mavericks played their last game for this season at Whitewater gym. The visiting team was the Harlem Wildcats. I was impressed at the skills the girls have! Many long volleys!
