Ramps available and elevations for ALL ramps have been updated to May 8, 2008.
Current elevation of Lake Sakakawea continue to show signs of severe drought. Along with it, current access to the big lake isn't very promising but several entities are working on ramps to ensure they are opened by Memorial Day. For early anglers, however, access is limited and they should take the time to review boat ramp reports or make the appropriate contacts because lake levels are causing problems at the ramps. At 1807.40 (-.4 change) feet, the forecast for spring and early summer Sakakawea fishing remains good...
North Dakota’s Deer Season Set North Dakota’s 2008 deer season has been set with 149,400 licenses available to hunters this fall, an increase of 850 from last year.
Randy Kreil, wildlife chief for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said mild winters and a corresponding increase in reproductive success have maintained white-tailed deer populations above management objectives in many units in northeastern, north central, and parts of southwestern North Dakota. “We will continue to be aggressive in units where deer numbers are...
There are over 8,000 miles of entry into this county and we are responsible for every inch. As a Border Patrol Agent your primary responsibility would be to work with the United States Customs and Border Patrol Agents to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the US and apprehend those people found to be in violation of the immigration laws.
If you are looking for a unique challenge, defending our home turf, the U.S. Border Patrol may be just right for you. We are looking for physically fit men and women who want the ever-changing challenges we offer...

The paddlefishing season is officially closed in North Dakota.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department closed the season early as the limit of 1,000 paddlefish were harvested.

Yesterday's rain may help diminish the fire danger in some places - but already this spring, grass fires have burned as much acreage as we normally see in an entire year in North Dakota.

While walleye attract most of the notoriety and while Lake Oahe is known far and wide as one of the nation’s top walleye fishing destinations, Riis admits that there are other opportunities for anglers that are awfully good right now. “The salmon fishing on the lower end of Lake Oahe should be really good this year.” Also, Lake Sharpe and Frances Case both are top walleye producers but often get overshadowed by...
The bottom bouncer is an incredibly effective and versatile piece of equipment for walleye anglers. Over the past few years, there seems to have been an emphasis on using the bottom bouncer as more of a rigging tool. The bottom bouncer can become a tool for efficiently presenting a live bait snell or harness precisely through structure. With this application, the presentation is often fairly vertical or close to a forty five degree angle. Many anglers who prefer to use bouncers in this method preach to never...
North Dakota's deer gun season doesn't begin until Nov. 7, and applications aren’t even due until June 4. So why I'm a thinking about deer already?
The reason is because in the last few weeks Game and Fish Department biologists have summarized last fall’s harvest numbers, which provide significant direction toward setting the 2008 season. It's pretty basic math. If hunters were not as successful as in previous years, something contributed to that lower harvest. It's a basic follow up question asked by not only hunters but...
With the rising cost of everything these days, many anglers look to save a few bucks where they can. Whether it is tying their own flies or catching their own bait, outdoorsmen, being the resourceful breed that they are, always find a way to keep enjoying their obsessions.
For me, muskie fishing has become one such obsession, and I didn’t bat an eyelash last summer when I spent ten, fifteen and even twenty dollars or more on a single monstrous lure designed to catch the fish of 10,000 casts. But balancing the cost of these lures with...

We’re heading into that time of year when the majority of our outdoors thoughts turn toward fishing. The bulk of the snow geese are well beyond North Dakota. The excitement of the first couple of weekends for spring turkey are past, and those of us who applied for a bighorn sheep, moose or elk license have learned of our fate in the lottery drawing.
For the first time in many years, the state Game and Fish Department has
increased the number of bighorn sheep licenses available in the annual
special big game lottery drawing
