Should Minnesota offer waterfowlers a three-bird, any-duck bag as an alternative to the regular six-bird bag? Tim Lesmeister and host Rob Drieslein tackle that question to start the show. Then Brian Knutson, sales and marketing director for Outdoor News, visits the broadcast to share the latest news and fishing industry insights from last week’s ICAST show in Orlando, Fla. Scott Anderson from Ducks Unlimited then previews the situation in the Duck Factory as the waterfowl season looms, plus insight into DU’s National Trip Auction happening in August and the Ducks Unlimited Expo kicking off next weekend in Memphis, July 31-Aug 2. Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the show with bear talk, including grizzly bear delisting out west, and a CBC report on a retired couple fishing in northern Saskatchewan, who authorities believe were killed by a black bear last week.
