CWD endemic in southeast trio of deer permit areas in Minnesota
The Minnesota DNR told Outdoor News this week that deer permit areas 646, 647, and 648 would be entering a new phase of management due to the high prevalence of CWD across the landscape in those areas.
“In those three permit areas, we have now had enough disease (prevalence) that we’re in the endemic phase,” said Michelle Carstensen, the DNR’s wildlife health group leader.

Will 2025 bring answers as to what will fill void of transferred Upper Sioux Agency State Park in Minnesota?
In February 2024, Upper Sioux Agency State Park closed to the public and park ownership officially was transferred without cost to the Upper Sioux Community by the Minnesota DNR, per legislative directive.

Ben Moyer: Pennsylvania bear trends clear on PGC’s harvest data page
Maps are useful in understanding wildlife management matters, and maps have come a long way. I miss the maps once published in PA Game News that expressed the deer kill by county. That map sparked my interest in the geography of my home state, which I harbor even now.
Because it’s difficult to stop thinking about hunting after the season (deer) is closed, I happened across a page on the Game Commission website that, for me, was a new discovery.

Cedar Lake in Minnesota’s Rice County gives up another record-breaking crappie
In late October, Axel Angelow reeled in a record-breaking black crappie from Cedar Lake in Rice County, Minn.
It was an 18-inch, 3-pound, 13-ounce fish that broke the previous certified-weight record by 4 ounces. Angelow’s catch dethrones the previous record, which was caught from Cedar Lake, too, on May 9, 2024.

Steve Pollick: New Year’s resolutions for the outdoorsman
So, here we are, on the doorstep of the Brave New World of 2025. Time for well-meant New Year’s resolutions, including for outdoors folks.
For me, that means things like resolving to involve a young person in the outdoors – initially or more deeply. And I don’t mean more daddies sitting little 7-year-old juniors on their laps over bait in a ground blind or tree stand and doing everything but pulling the trigger on big bucks. Or handing them a bass rod with a 5-pounder on the line so little He or She can mug the camera with a Big One.
