We decided to head north in June of 2022 and visit Ontario for some world-class fishing. We worked with Slate Falls Outposts out of Sioux Lookout to schedule a vacation that my 12-year-old son self-proclaimed on day 2 as being a bucket list trip!

It created a lot of struggles, but it also gave Jacob and I the opportunity to spend even more time outdoors exploring North Dakota and enjoying a ton of fishing and hunting. We spearfished for pike, caught walleyes on the Missouri, caught unbelievable catfish on the Red … Continue reading 2020 Hunting and Fishing Recap
This kid is unstoppable! Last Saturday morning was cold, windy, and included snow. I wasn’t very excited to get up to shoot ducks; but, my 11-year old son insisted on putting on the waders. We have had an awesome waterfowl season in North Dakota so far and this next week should get even better as more birds come down from up north. Gotta love this … Continue reading Unstoppable
