With more and more information lately to consider, the Minnesota DNR is rethinking its approach to muskie stocking across the state as a means to promote lower mortality rates and overall population improvement.
“(We’re) working toward a more efficient program and producing and stocking a product that is going to survive and recruit to the fishery and at the end of an angler’s hook, potentially,” said Leslie George, the DNR’s northeast regional fisheries manager.

In what will be its final report to the Minnesota DNR and state legislators, the members of the DNR’s citizen advisory group, the Game and Fish Budgetary Oversight Committee, recommended the agency continue to advocate for state wolf management, create a swan-hunting season, continue to seek long-term alternatives to keep healthy the Game and Fish Fund, and more.
Per 2024 legislation, the BOC, in its current form since 2011, will cease to exist, replaced by a DNR commissioner-appointed committee of at least 15 members – some of whom may come from the existing committees. The DNR currently is seeking applicants for the new committee.

Beginning on the evening of Sunday, Aug. 18, and continuing into Monday morning the Nissequogue, its surrounding communities, and the neighboring Town of Brookhaven experienced one of the most devastating storms in over 300 years.

The Illinois early teal season has long been a battle for attention between green-winged teal and blue-winged teal, with blues mostly coming out on top in recent years.
