Top topics this week include the 2026 pheasant opener Oct. 10 in Minnesota and Oct. 17 in South Dakota, a Minnesota archer gal who killed a buck in velvet last month, plus a Minneapolis man who ran the entire Twin Cities Marathon carrying a canoe to bring publicity to the threats facing the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Tim Lesmeister and Rob Drieslein break it all down. Then Drieslein wraps up his conversation Jim and Will Pattiz of the website Morethanjustparks.com. They have a whole new page devoted to the controversial Alaskan Ambler Road project. Drieslein and Lesmeister wrap up the conversation with a story that’s not quite “man bites dog” but rather, “man attacks bear attacking dog.”
