Check out Ron's new book, "Minnesota Bound As Seen on TV"!

Telling stories about the outdoors, meeting people who appreciate the wonders of nature...this has been the experience of Ron Schara for more than thirty years. His writings and observations capture the essence of the natural world. As his newspaper popularity grew in the Midwest, Ron began painting pictures with both words and video to share his love for the outdoors.

Ron Schara's award-winning television magazine show Minnesota Bound delivers the heart and spirit of the outdoors into living rooms of TV viewers. His soft spoken but direct delivery and appealing on-camera presence has created a personality akin to some of America's favorite television feature journalists. He's been called the Charles Kuralt of the outdoors.

As an award-winning outdoor columnist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Ron continues to offer his unique take on the wilds and waters. He grew up in northeast Iowa's rugged bluff country and his love of the outdoors took him to Iowa State University where he majored in both journalism and fish & wildlife biology. Today, he contributes to the public forum on many environmental issues.

Ron can be heard on WCCO Radio Live Outdoors Monday nights at 8 with Mike Max and also Saturday mornings at 5:30am on WCCO!  Be sure to check out Ron's website at www.mnbound.com!
