Top topics on Outdoor News Radio this week include a preview of Minnesota’s Oct. 11-12 opening weekend of pheasant hunting with Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman. Then Wildlife Health Supervisor Erik Hildebrand of the Minnesota DNR jumps into the show to share details of chronic wasting disease management for deer hunters this fall. The show gets a migration update from Dr. Michael Brasher from Ducks Unlimited. Tim Lesmeister helps Drieslein wrap up the show with a discussion about why the Trump administration excluded Pheasants Forever from a recent meeting at the White House, then they spend time talking about the phasing out of the state’s shotgun deer zone in 2026.
