Our current outdoors columnist, Scott Rall, was once an advertising representative for the Daily Globe, in 1985. Looks like he's rocking a Cosby sweater here, and if so, he's lucky--the sweaters ...

SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Set goals that are attainable
WORTHINGTON — When I listen to nation-wide radio or watch national news, it makes me feel pretty good to live in the midwest. We don’t have super storms like Sandy to deal with and there are no earthquakes or giant mud slides that threaten our existence. We have an occasional tornado and they can be very destructive, but it’s not like they happen every week.By Scott Rall , December 28, 2012
SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Where have all the roosters gone?
WORTHINGTON — I was hoping to make it ’til the New Year without any snow. No snow at all would have been better. A few inches of rain in March needs no shoveling. But the snow is here and that is to be expected. And with the snow comes the winding down of the season’s hunting opportunities, with the pheasant hunting season closing Jan. 1.By Scott Rall , December 21, 2012
RALL: Less is more on outdoor Christmas list
In the land of pheasant hunting, I usually ask all of the people I hunt with this question: Is it better to shoot and miss or to have not shot the gun at all?December 14, 2012

SCOTT RALL COLUMN: I thought you were never coming home
WORTHINGTON — There isn’t a dog owner on Earth who hasn’t bragged about the performance of his or her hunting dog at one time or another. Hunting dogs can do some amazing things. Some dog owners can’t stop talking about it.By Scott Rall , December 07, 2012
SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Trapping and the connection it gives
WORTHINGTON — What or who is a trapper? What a rare and endangered breed they are. Fifty years ago, trapping was like hunting. If you lived in the country, almost every kid trapped and hunted. I can remember, as a kid, trapping gophers on my grandpa’s farm near the tiny town of Wetonka in north central South Dakota.By Scott Rall , November 30, 2012

Dogs: It’s easier to wind them in than wind them up
WORTHINGTON — It can only happen once for the dog and happens very seldom for most dog owners. For Tracer, it happened a few weeks back. The last time it happened to me was two years ago with a black lab named Axle.By Scott Rall , November 16, 2012
RALL: Shooters need to behave or get out
WORTHINGTON — It makes me wonder just who thinks up some of the laws regarding wildlife that make it on the books. I try very hard to stay on top of regulatory developments in the land of game, fish and wildlife. I am on an email list that gets me a few news releases every week regarding happenings on a state level and at the Department of Natural Resources.By Scott Rall , November 02, 2012
SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Once is way more than enough
WORTHINGTON — An item that has gotten lots and lots of attention by way of phone calls to my office and cell is, what is going on at the local rifle and pistol range?By Scott Rall , October 25, 2012
SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Start at amateur and work your way up
I have often referred to my life with my dogs as living in an interdependent relationship. They need me and I need them. They need me for food and shelter and medical care. They also need the human love and affection that all dogs crave and I give tons of that. They need to know where their place in the pack as they are all descendants of wolves. Knowing their place in life gives a dog balance.By Scott Rall , October 18, 2012
SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Tons of company are to be expected for pheasant season
I have waited 364 days for tomorrow. Saturday, October 13 is the Minnesota Pheasant hunting season opener. Last year I wandered along with a group of mostly new hunters at the first ever Governors Pheasant hunt that was held in Montevideo, Minn. This year, the Governors’ hunt will be hosted in Marshall, only 60 miles away. I received another invitation this year, but am going to skip the actual hunting part of the weekend and attend a dedication ceremony for an addition to a local WMA in the Marshall area. This should be pretty cool.By Scott Rall , October 11, 2012
Spectatular beauty within four hours drive of home
WORTHINGTON — Does it take an airplane ride or a really long drive to see something totally spectacular? It really depends on what you think qualifies as totally spectacular. I took a four-hour drive and saw something very spectacular — the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, located across the Missouri River in South Dakota.By Scott Rall , October 05, 2012
SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Outsmarted by a brain the size of a pea
WORTHINGTON — It was a few years back on one of the coldest days that North Dakota had ever seen since the ice age that I pulled into a gas station in Ellendale, N.D. There was a guy gassing up his truck with Eskimo mittens on and he had on an orange cap so I assumed he was pheasant hunting.By Scott Rall , September 21, 2012
Good-bye to a nice dog and hello to a new one
