One of my favorite things I get to do in my present position here at the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission is keep track of our state record fish. I will periodically give updates and show a few pictures here on my blog; at this time let me summarize the …
There was a brief mention of this in the Omaha World-Herald last week and Nebraska residents, especially those in eastern Nebraska that might trailer boats over to northwest Iowa, need to be aware of this. Zebra mussel collected in Iowa Great Lakes SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa – The Iowa DNR recently …
Friday, here is another “lighter side” blog post. Last Sunday was the Super Bowl and it seems that the viewing of the commercials is almost as much fun as viewing the game. I have heard a lot of discussion about those commercials this week; might as well add my $0.02-worth. …
