Top topics on Outdoor News Radio this week include discussion with Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman about the 2025 Minnesota general waterfowl opener. Then 2026 federal duck stamp contest winner Jim Hautman joins Drieslein for a wide-ranging interview. Sabin Adams from Pheasants Forever then offers a 2025 pheasant opener preview, plus he shares plans for a new state wildlife management area along the Rainy River. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein kick around a bunch of topics, including a moose in Itasca County, roadless rule public feedback, and alligator hunting in Arkansas.
