Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman recap the highlights from the 2025 DNR Roundtable event held last Friday. Top topics include agency funding and new DNR Wildlife leader Dave Trauba. Then DNR Fish and Wildlife Division Director Kelly Straka joins the program to talk about the agency’s midpoint review of its 10-year deer plan and its strategy for combating the growing chronic wasting disease menace in southeast Minnesota. Tim Lesmeister brings it home with Drieslein with discussion on crossbows, grizzly bears, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on federal lands in Utah, and forward-facing sonar.
