Hunting, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, New York, Opinion, Opinion / Bob Zink

Concerns about the effects of chronic wasting disease on deer populations continue to broil as the role of game farm escapees spreading the disease to wild deer becomes more evident.
The main point that seems established is that once a deer in an enclosure develops CWD, other animals penned in proximity are more likely to get CWD than would deer in wild populations. It’s common to read that CWD is spread by animal-to-animal interactions or by contacting a contaminated environment.

Delta Waterfowl workshop in southeastern Minnesota on July 22 seeks to hook new duck hunters

Featured, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News / Tori McCormick

Scott Threinen had his moment. He remembers it in vivid detail.

He was doing chores on his family dairy farm outside of Rochester, Minn., when he was 10 years old. A skein of nine giant Canada geese – in all their honking glory – flew over the barn and landed in a nearby field.

“The thing that sticks with me is that they made the coolest sound … and those whistling wings,” said Threinen, a three-time world champion goose caller and founder of Molt Gear, a business that caters to waterfowl hunters. “That was the start of it for me. For Christmas that year, I asked for a goose call and I was off. It’s still my passion today.”
