If you’ve ever mentored a young turkey hunter during the spring season, you know the thrill of watching the newbie next to you experience something truly magical. For many kids, it’s a time of firsts, and a sensory experience like few others.
The morning sunrise. A bird gobbling on the roost. The purr, yelp, and cluck of a slate call. The strutting and cutting of a boss tom. An amorous – or not so amorous – decoy encounter. The echoing boom of a shotgun blast from a ground blind. A turkey in hand … or the agony of a near-miss.

The Minnesota DNR’s Walk-In Access program is slated to have a similar amount of acreage available to hunters for the upcoming hunting seasons. But there’s a twist this year.
What’s new is that the program will expand, allowing bird watchers and photographers to access the 30,000 acres of available land to visit and explore.
“We’re hoping by the end of next year, we’ll have all the walk-in sites open to public users not just those select (locations) that were enrolled this year,” said Amber Knutson, WIA program coordinator for the DNR.

If you’re looking for one factor that influenced the subpar results of Minnesota’s 2024 Waterfowl Breeding Population Survey, the spring weather played an outsized role.
“It’s was one of the strangest springs I can remember, said Bruce Davis, supervisor for the Minnesota DNR’s Wetland Wildlife Research Group in Bemidji, who flew the annual aerial survey. In short, mallard, Canada goose, and overall duck abundance – estimates all – were down from last year. Blue-winged teal were up.
