Top topics on Outdoor News Radio this week include a Minnesota deer season harvest recap (it’s up!) with Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman. Then Matt Johnson calls in with an ice fishing season preview, plus chatter about the Dec. 5-7 St. Paul Ice Fishing Show. Stan Tekiela and Drieslein talk about the tail end of fall migration, which means tundra (whistling swans) are blowing through the region right now. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein then talk about the three-walleye winter limit on Lake Mille Lacs and the 10-bag perch limit there. They also discuss the Trump administration’s announcement to dramatically increase fees for non-U.S. citizens in America’s national parks.
