The Minnesota DNR announced this past week that longtime Fish and Wildlife Division Director Dave Olfelt will be retiring from the position. Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman discuss. Then the president of Twin Cities Muskies Inc., Jim Doyle, joins the program to talk about the pressures and concerns about modern Minnesota muskie management. Two biologists from Ducks Unlimited then jump into the broadcast to talk about the status of water in the Duck Factory this spring, as well as a $100 million grant the group just received to improve waterfowl habitat on the prairies. Tim Lesmeister helps Drieslein wrap up the program with chatter on some tainted bear meat from Canada that put people in the hospital as well as status of sea lamprey on Lake Superior.
