Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman launch the show with talk of new, watered-down deer farm legislation and fishing regulation changes. Then Eric Morken jumps into the program to talk about winter whitetail scouting and using mapping apps like onX. For segment three, Kelsie LaSharr from the Minnesota DNR outlines next week’s public meetings as part of the state’s elk restoration process in northeastern Minnesota. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the program with discussion on Land Tawney being back in the conservation mix plus a couple of controversial letters to the editor in this week’s print edition.
