Tim Lesmeister and Rob Drieslein start the show with some Boundary Waters Canoe Area topics, including an exciting rescue involving three young collegiate swim team members and a state conservation officer. Then Leslie George from Minnesota DNR joins the program to talk about the new statewide muskie plan that will be in place through 2040. Seth Owens, a conservationist and wildlife photographer from North Dakota, then jumps into the broadcast to offer listeners some insight into outdoors photography in the era of smartphone cameras. Lesmeister returns to help wrap up the show with chatter on the renewed corner crossing debate in Montana and the bizarre “dog shoots person” story in western Nebraska.
