The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Harry S. Truman Lake announce the permanent closure of Windsor Crossing Campground effective March 1, 2018.

Missouri's 2017-2018 deer-hunting season and the Fall archery turkey season both ended on January 15. The Missouri Department of Conservatoin have released the final numbers.

This is not a pop-up archery shoot, it’s a real 3D shoot inside the Lowell Mohler Hall. There will be 14 targets to shoot. The shoot is $10 a round and $5 per round after. Kids 12 and under will shoot free. The shoot will take place from 9AM to 6PM in the Lowell Mohler Hall.

Rule of Thumb-If it's too cold for you outside, it's probably too cold for your pets.  Dogs and cats can usually do better than you outdoors, but freezing weather can still lead to frostbite and hypothermia in a matter of minutes.

As a kid you had a pretty good idea of where you would head with the neighbor kids when you had enough snow to go sledding or maybe tubing. Where in Sedalia is the best place to go?

Many area lakes or ponds are used for winter recreational activities. Youngsters are easily attracted to ice covered private ponds for skating and playing. The Missouri State Highway Patrol has some tips to use in around water during the cold weather months.

For those needing to obtain or renew a private pesticide applicator license, training session dates and locations have been set through the University of Missouri Extension.

What's the one outdoor activity do you think of when the first snowflakes fall? (Besides building a snowman!) Snow Skiing! But where would you go in Missouri?

The Angler’s Port Marine Cabin Fever Sports Show will return to the Mathewson Exhibition Center and Lowell Mohler Hall on February 10, 2018.

The numbers were slightly down from last year but this years opening weekend preliminary data from the Missouri Department Conservation shows 94,977 deer harvested during the opening weekend of the November portion of the fall firearms deer season Nov. 11 and 12.
