A light plane carrying ice anglers broke through thin ice as it tried to land on Upper Red Lake in northwestern Minnesota on Dec. 19, the same lake where authorities had to rescue dozens of anglers who became trapped on an ice floe two days earlier.

Theodore Roosevelt believed in the restorative benefits of hunting – as well as the importance of conserving wildlife for its own sake. His philosophy of conservation lived on through the actions of government, although opposed by many.
The opposition was primarily from commercial interests – some of the same commercial interests that abused workers and manipulated financial systems.

The Minnesota DNR and state Board of Animal Health implemented several changes in cervidae farm management in 2023 after the state Legislature passed several new laws that altered oversight and regulations for certain farms.
Mike Oehler, DNR farmed deer and captive species coordinator, and Dr. Heather Damico, BAH senior veterinarian overseeing the farmed cervidae program, believe that changes from the 2023 legislative session will lead to fewer deer farms and farmed animals heading into 2024.

During a normal December, business is booming at Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle in Oakdale.
“It’s typically our busiest time of year,” said Blue Ribbon owner, general manager, and fishing guide Josh Stevenson, who purchased the popular outdoor shop in 2004. “Kids are off for Christmas break. College students are home. A lot of people are taking vacation. Everyone goes a little a crazy indoors after a while, and they want to get out and many go ice fishing. Not this year. I’ve never seen business this slow. It’s completely unprecedented.”
Stevenson isn’t alone.

A variety of fish species, too, are available in good numbers and sizes from toss-back to would-you-look-at-that-now!
