On Saturday, Jan. 11, the Minnesota DNR received a TIP that a gray wolf had been illegally shot and killed in southeastern Minnesota’s Fillmore County, several miles north of the Iowa-Minnesota border, according to a DNR incident report.
The report states that the gray wolf was illegally shot by 21-year-old hunter Lucas Heusinkveld, of Spring Valley, who was hunting coyotes in early January. According to Minnesota Court Records’ case information, Heusinkveld was convicted in mid-February of a petty misdemeanor for unlawfully taking a protected wild animal.

It was late May in 2022 when my daughter and I got positioned against a huge oak on a narrow tree line between crop fields for our last turkey hunt of the Minnesota season.
The toms already were gobbling as first light peeked over the horizon. I waited a few minutes and then let out some soft yelps on a mouth call. A tom 75 yards down the ridge below us cut me off with a thunderous gobble that left Aubree and me looking at each other with wide eyes.

Luke Garver has fielded many suggestions from turkey hunters since taking his current job in October 2016.
