		<description><![CDATA[If you want to be successful when you go fishing, you need to first, find the fish.  Once you&#8217;ve done that, you need to give them what they want to eat.  If you do those two things, you&#8217;ll catch more fish more often.
One really important thing to remember is that fish behave differently at different times of the year.  Sometimes they want a bait that&#8217;s moving fast, other times they want a slower moving bait.  In the spring when the water is cooler, a slow moving bait will usually catch more fish.  Here are some ideas on slow moving baits that will catch more fish in the next few weeks.

Jigs are perhaps the best presentation for walleyes in the spring in most places where walleyes live.  In many situations you&#8217;ll be fishing for walleyes over sand, pea gravel, and emerging vegetation.  Dragging a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed a lawsuit brought by the radical anti-hunting Center for Biological Diversity and six other groups demanding the Environmental Protection Agency ban traditional ammunition containing lead components.
Traditional ammunition represents 95 percent of the U.S. market and is the staple ammunition for target shooters, hunters and law enforcement, with more than 10 billion rounds sold annually.
NSSF filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit last August. The court today agreed with NSSF that EPA does not have the authority to regulate traditional ammunition under the Toxic Substances Control Act.
EPA had already twice denied attempts by CBD to have the agency ban traditional ammunition, and the court had dismissed an earlier case brought by CBD seeking the same relief.
&#8220;We are gratified that the court has found this second frivolous lawsuit, which is essentially the same as the one dismissed last year, was equally without ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[from StarTribune
Tom Knapp, one of the world’s greatest exhibition shooters who for years amazed audiences at Game Fair in Anoka County, has died.

Knapp, 62, of Elk River, died Friday of pulmonary fibrosis at St. Marys Hospital at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Among his trick-shooting exploits: He threw and individually shot 10 clay targets with his shotgun. He appeared on numerous TV shows and hosted “Benelli’s American Birdhunter’’ TV show for eight years.
“He was terrific shot, a great promoter and a nice human being,’’ said Chuck Delaney, Game Fair owner, who knew Knapp for decades.
Knapp traveled the United States and world giving trick-shooting exhibitions for Winchester Olin, Benelli USA, Federal Cartridge and CZ-USA until his health issues forced him to retire in February. He had worked for what was then Hennepin County Parks for 25 years before becoming a sponsored exhibition shooter.
“He touched so many people,’’ said his wife, Colleen. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After writing several reviews covering the use of the heavy loads in both 10 and 12 gauge for waterfowl I got a number of e-mails and phone calls from readers indicating that they would like to see more information as to how best to study the problems of shooting long range, and specifically when encountering pass shooting situations.  In general pass shooting ranges are longer then decoy gunning, and as such the laws of gravity, and the element of cross wind drift starts to come into play.  Therefore here are some of my findings regarding the subject after some careful research, and also after being an active pass shooter in about ten different states, and several foreign countries during the past couple of decades.  The short form here is that I cut my eyeteeth on passing geese or ducks as far back as the late 1960’s.

		<description><![CDATA[Got the “Winter Time Blues?”  Snow and cold keeping you in the house?  You and the dogs driving your spouse nuts?  Working long hours and need a mid-winter break?  Do any of these questions sound familiar?  The first week of February 2013 I was there &#8212; all of the above.  Then suddenly everything started to change.  I learned a member of our local North America Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) had purchased a sweet set up for Canada goose hunting just outside Pierre, South Dakota the previous fall.  I checked out his web and Facebook pages (DeGrey Goose Camp) and found they were still successfully harvesting geese.  I also discovered visiting with Randy the Canada goose season in that area was open until mid-February.  My work caught up and the weather man was predicting almost 50 degrees at Pierre for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rational Transition
By Joel R. Hayes
To say that my parents started off with modest beginnings is to say that Richard Petty had a passing interest in automobiles.  Things like brand new shoes were seen with the same frequency as an English king coronation.  But my grandfathers, both utility workers, each did their best to provide for their families, and despite their inability to keep up with the Joneses, no one starved.
My Grandpa Van Rees would buy a beef or a hog, have it butchered, and eat the very best cut the night he brought it home.  The next night they’d eat the next best cut remaining, working down through the pile.  This way, every night, they were eating the best that they had.  Great policy.  My mom says, “We didn’t have much, but we always ate well.”  Likewise, Grandpa Hayes raised a good portion ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWTOWN, Conn. &#8212; The National Shooting Sports Foundation has strongly objected to the last-minute reversal of the U.S. government position regarding the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. In the closing hours of negotiations on Thursday, March 28, the government abandoned its previous insistence that the treaty be approved only through achieving &#8220;consensus&#8221; of all the member states. Requiring consensus had been the United States position going back to earlier administrations.
At the end of the session, a U.S. government spokesperson told reporters &#8220;It&#8217;s important to the United States and the defense of our interests to insist on consensus. But every state in this process has always been conscious of the fact that if consensus is not reached in this process, that there are other ways to adopt this treaty, including via a vote of the General Assembly.&#8221; The spokesperson went on to say that the United States would vote &#8220;yes&#8221; on ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March is a transition month for walleyes on many rivers. Two rivers that border Minnesota are the Rainy River and the Mississippi River. These two rivers have an open walleye season in March, and both of them are subject to current. This year both of these rivers have open water sections and they also have frozen stretches. The other thing in common both of these rivers, during the month of March, can be angry swollen, life threatening torrents of water. A word of caution if you are planning a fishing trip to either of these rivers keep your ears tuned to the weather because conditions could change daily.
When fishing a river the important thing to remember is that the current will rule how and where you should fish. In the spring of the year walleyes move up the river to spawn. Many of them look for shallow flats and rock ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Success rates look up when anglers recognize that the crappies are feeding up 
Winter’s grip will soon relax. As the season’s thick grey clouds thin, elevating rays of sun will slash through the bitter air and warm it to a more comfortable tone. The snowpack’s about to melt; the warming environment is a trigger for once-lethargic crappie to roam towards shallow water from their dead-of-winter deepwater haunts.
But a departure from the depths doesn’t always mean that fish head shoreward – they often go vertical. Unbeknownst to many is that crappies often elevate high in the water column to feast on tiny tidbits anywhere from only a few feet to mere inches under the decaying ice.  
But while a few anglers catch limits of slabs before the ice gives way, others struggle to land any at all. The fish are feeding veraciously, so it’s not always about what to use, ...]]></description>
