Episode 515 – Grand duck finale, late fall river fishing, BHA’s Patrick Berry, and flying squirrels

Managing Editor Rob Drieslein kicks off the show with Minnesota Editor Tim Spielman. They preview the final (cold and windy) weekend of duck hunting in Minnesota, and discuss the effects of windmills on conservation habitat. Then fishing guide Darren Troseth drops in to chat about sturgeon fishing on the St. Croix. Patrick Berry, CEO of Montana-based backcountry Hunters and Anglers, then visits to highlight concerns about a State of Utah lawsuit that could affect public lands around the country. Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the program with talk on President-elect Trump’s nominee for Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum of North Dakota, and new research examining the dramatic clash of two species of flying squirrels in northern Minnesota.
