Top topics on Outdoor News Radio this week include discussion with Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman about progress on eliminating the state’s shotgun zone for deer hunting, plus multiple hunting seasons open this weekend, like archery deer. Then Montana conservationist and hunter Hal Herring joins the program to talk about threats to sportsmen and American public lands, like the Trump administration’s efforts to repeal the roadless rule. Tim Lesmeister joins Rob to kick around a host of fun topics like progress on liberalizing the Minnesota bass season, robot rabbits in the Everglades, and cougars in the Minnesota River valley.
