Managing Editor Rob Drieslein kicks off this week’s show with hunting guide and outdoors communicator Durrell Smith from Atlanta, Ga. They discuss Smith’s venture, the Minority Outdoor Alliance, and the organization’s events that it holds across the country. Then Jarrid Houston from Houston’s Guide Service out of the Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior, offers insights into ice-fishing on Lake Superior this winter and across the border-country region. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the show with chatter on a host of topics including Southern bass fishing for those desperately seeking open water, a recent report from the National Deer Association, a shark attack in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the recent vote in the U.S. House of Representatives that affects mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
