P
ertussis or whooping cough has been
making the news lately, with out-
breaks in many parts of the country.
Te state of Washington already has had a
total of 2,520 cases this year and California
had 10 infants die of the disease in 2010.
North Dakota has had more than 80 cases
documented so far this year and Minnesota
has had high numbers of pertussis. With
our mobile society it is even more impor-
tant that we all do what we can to prevent the spread of
this disease.
Pertussis is a highly contagious upper respiratory
bacterial disease that can cause uncontrollable, violent
coughing, especially in infants and children, but it can
afect individuals of any age. It is a serious disease that
can cause permanent disability and even death in infants.
Te coughing can make it difcult to breathe and a deep
whooping sound can be heard when the individual tries
to take a breath. Adults ofen have a prolonged cough.
Pertussis is spread when an infected person sneezes or

ven though I couldnt squeak more
than a C out of college calculus,
Ive always enjoyed thinking through
complex questions. Its the easy ones that
sometimes seem to trip me up.
And in my position as a State Game and
Fish Department outreach biologist, and as
a district game warden before that, I get a
lot of questions.
While many of the daily questions arent
complicated, I still enjoy working through those that
require consideration of what-if scenarios, and then
double-checking the possible answers with wardens and
biologists. Questions about gratis licenses and trespass-
ing can follow an array of winding paths depending on
the circumstances, and along the way to providing a clear
answer, I learn the legal and biological facts and am better
able to answer future inquiries.
You might be a bit surprised that some of the more dif-
fcult questions to answer fall along the lines of wheres
a good place to go pheasant hunting? or do you know
where the ducks are? or can you suggest a good place to
fnd a quality deer?
At frst glance, these questions seem pretty vanilla. But
more ofen than not, when you really consider the possible
answers, they are questions of the loaded variety that
ofen result in a cant-win situation.
Its not so much that I dont know the location of good
hunting spots or good fshing spots for that matter.
Te challenge comes in determining the callers expecta-
tions. My frst answer is ofen another question, something
like well, what sort of experience are you looking for?
Say, for example, I give an approximate or even a GPS
location to any or all of these inquiries. My interpretation
of a good spot to hunt pheasants might be considered a
poor spot for other hunters. If that happens, afer the hunt,
the blame is on me for suggesting it.
Each persons expectations of quality or good develop
over years of experience. Tink about it for a minute. For
me, if I just see a few roosters on a pheasant hunting out-
ing, thats a good day. Most hunters would at least want
a shot or two. Others might be satisfed only by seeing a
hundred birds and getting a limit. Still others are disap-
pointed in anything less than a limit in an hour.
Te other factor that comes into play is access. In places

y generation remembers hearing about the Dirty
30s from our elders, and now I tell my young
colleagues about the Dirty 80s. Are we heading
into another major drought period?
Looking at the updated U.S. Drought Monitor website,
drought has its grip on the upper Midwest and is creeping
ever closer to us.
North Dakota farmers know that we are on the cusp of
some signifcant weather-related challenges. Te impact of
the Midwests drought has spawned U.S. Department of
Agriculture reports and generated announcements such
as this: Widespread drought has created the largest ever
natural-disaster area. Tat area encompasses more than
1,000 counties in 26 states.
Combine that with the World Agricultural Supply and
Demand Estimates for U.S. feed grain supplies, which
projects sharply lower corn production, and producers
likely will see feed shortages and already are seeing sky-
rocketing grain prices.
Drought issues conjure up many concerns, from feed
safety to harvest challenges. While most of this region is
