Sportsmen Since 1968

Minnesota Outdoor News Radio

Every week, Outdoor News Radio explores timely outdoors topics emerging from Minnesota, the Upper Midwest, and around the country. For one hour, host Rob Drieslein, publisher and managing editor of Outdoor News interviews a slate of natural resource experts, conservation advocates, and top outdoors writers. 

Episode 576 – Superior ice fishing, Durrell Smith of Minority Outdoor Alliance, House vote on BWCA

Managing Editor Rob Drieslein kicks off this week’s show with hunting guide and outdoors communicator Durrell Smith from Atlanta, Ga. They discuss Smith’s venture, the Minority Outdoor Alliance, and the organization’s events that it holds across the country. Then Jarrid Houston from Houston’s Guide Service out of the Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior, offers insights into ice-fishing on Lake Superior this winter and across the border-country region. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the show with chatter on a host of topics including Southern bass fishing for those desperately seeking open water, a recent report from the National Deer Association, a shark attack in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the recent vote in the U.S. House of Representatives that affects mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

The Great Northeast Podcast

Every two weeks host Dan Ladd, editor of New York Outdoor News, addresses outdoor topics across New York and throughout the Northeastern states. From the tip of Long Island, to the coast of northern Maine, back through the big northern woods, the St. Lawrence Valley and in to Pennsylvania, Dan and his guests in engage in the topics affecting today’s Northeastern sportsmen. 

Episode 88 — New York State Big Buck Club

Long-time measurer and past-president Jim Dowd of the NYS Big Buck Club joins the first podcast of 2026 to talk about the organization, including its long list of nearly 100 measurers scattered across the state. Knowing things will be busy from now through the spring for measurers, Jim encourages hunters to bring their antlers to shows he mentions, or to contact a measurer soon, regardless of if their buck potentially qualifies for the record book or not.
