Week 677: The State of Waterfowl Hunting in Minnesota for 2025

On this week’s show, we’re talking about the state of waterfowl hunting in Minnesota with MN DNR Migratory Game Bird Specialist Nate Huck. We talk about why the Blue-Winged Teal numbers are so low, if we’ll ever get an expanded Sandhill Crane or Trumpeter Swan hunting season, and if we’re on track for a shorter duck hunting season. We also answer some Early Teal Hunting season FAQ’s, get a dove hunting outlook and more. Joe Henry checks in with Will Hangman from their Pay it Forward event at Lake of the Woods.
