Top topics on Outdoor News Radio this week include Editor Tim Spielman sharing his story with Managing Editor Rob Drieslein of four poached trumpeter swans in western Minnesota. Then Tom Carpenter from Pheasants Forever joins the program to provide an upland bird hunting update, notably on sharp-tailed grouse, prairie chickens, and ring-necked pheasants across the region. Big-game guru Tony Peterson then drops in with tips for that last couple of weeks of archery deer hunting before Minnesota’s Nov. 8 general firearms opener. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the show with chatter on U.S. Supreme Court upholding lower court rulings on the corner-crossing case out West and whether Minnesota state hunters should join three Chippewa bands in hunting moose.
