Back in 2011, wildlife researchers began noticing a trend: declining wild turkey numbers in parts of the country. The initial concern focused on southern states and the southern Midwest.
“Originally that’s where the concerns kind of blossomed,” said Dr. Michael Chamberlain, a National Wild Turkey Federation distinguished professor at the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. “But I think the evidence is pretty clear that since then there’s a growing recognition that populations are declining in a number of other states, including some of the northeastern states and some of the Upper Midwest states.”

If it wasn’t abundantly clear already, 2025 was proof positive that Minnesota churns out some pretty talented bass anglers.
Back in March, Grand Rapids native Easton Fothergill ran away with the Bassmaster Classic title, besting the second-place finisher in the biggest bass tournament of them all by more than 8 pounds. Several weeks after that, Fothergill and New Market pro Seth Feider each scored top 10 finishes at the Bassmaster Elite event at Lake Fork in Texas.

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

Unless you’re fortunate enough to have access to a walk-in cooler, having a deer on the ground in the early season can be a stressful experience. Venison is a prized meat, and I’m obsessive about venison quality and maximizing my meat yield from every deer harvested.
