Episode 539 – Fishing opener, birdwatching, outdoors women programs, Iowa bears, new NRA president

Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman start the show with a Minnesota walleye opener preview, plus a breakdown (already!) on how waterfowl seasons will unfold this year. Then Sharon Stiteler, the Birdchick, drops in to talk spring migration. Linda Bylander joins the show to talk about her retirement as the Minnesota Becoming an Outdoors Woman coordinator, then Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the show with discussions on the new NRA President Bill Bachenberg, and overblown worries about black bears in northeast Iowa.
