Host and Outdoor News Managing Editor Rob Drieslein kicks off the show with Tim Spielman and a discussion on this summer’s canine influenza outbreak, plus thoughts on the Talon Mine proposal in Aitkin County and the Upper Sioux Agency land swap. Then Tony Sindt from Minnesota DNR Fisheries visits to talk about paddlefish and the new Minnesota River planning process (and how citizens can chime in.) Ron Hustvedt jumps in to talk about his recent border country houseboating experience plus a preview of Game Fair 2023. Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the show with chatter on the lake herring (tullibee) explosion on Lake Superior and why Minnesotans shouldn’t take the Legacy Amendment and its funding for granted.
