Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman recap the Sept. 21 duck opener and discuss the winner of last week’s federal duck stamp contest. Then Nick Kludt from the Minnesota DNR joins the program to talk about the agency’s new sturgeon documentary, “Kings in the North: Lake Sturgeon Recovery in the Red River Basin.” Old buddy Tony Peterson drops in to offer some late September archery deer hunting tips, then Tim Lesmeister helps Drieslein review the latest bear hunting numbers plus a northern Minnesotan’s encounter with a bear and her cubs.
