Streams of Thought: Will more land-transfer legislation emerge in Minnesota this year? Upper Red Lake Association preparing for it

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Minnesota, Opinion /

Today, for me, it feels like the drama of the 2024 Minnesota legislative session just ended. Maybe it’s because some aspects of it still haunt my dreams.
But, here we are, just days away from the commencement of the 2025 session, which promises to be, in its own special way, entertaining, and a departure from the past two years of trifecta rule. Count me among those who doesn’t buy for a minute the prospects of a new era of bipartisanship.

Ron Schara: Minnesota’s ‘Boss Tom’ about to step down from position with NWTF

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

Minnesota’s “Boss Tom” is strutting away.
Tom Glines recently announced he’s retiring after more than 30 years of gobbling on behalf of Minnesota’s wild turkey population and the state’s growing flock of turkey hunters. Glines is stepping down in mid-January as director of development for five states, including Minnesota, for the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Glenn Sapir: A camping caravan for the ages

Featured, Home Page News, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York /

Four buddies on a camping trip. You might be able to relate to that kind of opportunity to spend time afield with friends. Four men made such an outing almost every year between 1915 and 1924, and in 1916 the journey took three of them through the Catskills and the Adirondacks in New York.
This might not seem noteworthy, except for who these men were. Three were American business magnates and the fourth was perhaps the most famous naturalist to live in the Empire State.

After the Legislature almost a year ago green-lit the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council-approved carp barrier at Lock and Dam 5 on the Mississippi River, the preparatory work continues behind the scenes.
Kelly Pennington, an invasive species unit supervisor for the Minnesota DNR, offered an update to the project during the LSOHC meeting on Friday, Jan. 3.

Push against litter on lake ice to continue this legislative session in Minnesota

1 Comment / Discussions, Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing, National News, News /

One ice-fishing season ago – albeit, a limited one in most areas due to mild weather – a new law aimed at curtailing human waste and garbage on ice took effect, the result of the “Keep It Clean” initiative, which originated around some of Minnesota’s largest lakes.
Now, supporters say, they’ll seek additional funding during the upcoming legislative session – dollars that would further the effort through education, providing resources for proper disposal of all types of filth sometimes left on lake ice, fund cleanups, hire personnel to oversee the program, and more.
