Top topics on Outdoor News Radio this week include a discussion with Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman on a possible liberalization of the walleye regulation on Lake Mille Lacs. The pair also highlight a habitat and land acquisition milestone for Nobles County Pheasants Forever. Then DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen joins the program to discuss multiple issues including bag limits, status of the electronic licensing system overhaul, and long-term funding. Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the program with chatter on the bear attack on a 69-year-old woman in western Wisconsin, the Make America Beautiful Again executive order, and Boundary Waters permitting.
