Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman start this week’s Outdoor News Radio talking about ice conditions and relatively low winter severity index readings for deer and other wildlife. Then Dan Stark, large carnivore specialist for the Minnesota DNR, joins the show to talk about the public review process underway to revamp the black bear no-quota zone border. Stan Tekiela returns for the second straight week, this time to talk about photographing wolves in Yellowstone National Park. Then Drieslein and Tim Lesmeister jump into a discussion about staff cuts at America’s national parks, plus they chuckle about a proposal to give 65-year-olds and older free fishing licenses.
