Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman break down the Minnesota DNR’s plan to transfer 80,000 acres of school trust lands to the U.S. Forest Service within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Then the Lake Detective Steve McComas drops in to talk about the state of Minnesota’s lakes after a dry winter and the high water of spring and early summer 2024. Author Curtis DeBerg visits with Drieslein to talk about his recently published book, “Wrestling with Demons: In Search of the Real Ernest Hemingway.” Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the show with ballistics chatter and his opinion on the new regulations and lottery protocol for the Camp Ripley Archery Deer Hunt.
