Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman start the show catching up on whether recent flooding has had some direct effects on state wildlife. Then Mike Schrage from Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe joins the program to talk about the tribe’s efforts to establish an elk herd in northeastern Minnesota. Old buddy Ron Hustvedt visits to preview Game Fair 2024 and talk about some of the new regulations in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness this year. Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the show with free-wheelin’ discussion on the governor’s deer opener, waterlogged hounds in Mississippi, and the price tag on that Lake Erie walleye tournament cheating scandal’s boat.
