Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fan Outdoors: Tommy George, Stan Tekiela
Q: Mitch asks what kind of Minnesota spider is big enough to set off a game camera, and whether that relates to flying squirrels.
Stan explains that large enough spiders can trigger trail cams; he details the spider species and their eyes, debunking myths about their size and capabilities, and then discusses how flying squirrels are observed on trail cameras as part of a broader wildlife-monitoring theme.
Fan Outdoors: Patrick Hagen, John Edstrom, Tackle Terry
Q: How will people know where to bring deer for testing in the Southwest quadrant?
A QR code in the regulations book links to an interactive map with testing locations, and the CRPD Surveillance page lists all stations and addresses.
Fan Outdoors: Patrick Hagen, John Edstrom, Tackle Terry
Q: What options do hunters have to get deer tested if they harvest during non-mandatory windows?
Hunters can request testing via hunter mailing kits, use taxidermist partner sampling programs, or make an appointment at a local wildlife office for sampling.
Fan Outdoors: Patrick Hagen, John Edstrom, Tackle Terry
Q: What is the scope and timing of the new rotational surveillance for chronic wasting disease?
The DNR will rotate surveillance over four years, starting with a mandatory testing window in the Southwest quadrant during opening weekend of firearm season, and then move clockwise to other quadrants in subsequent years.
Fan Outdoors: Jason Durham, Stan Tekiela, Tackle Terry
Q: What should beginners prioritize over shiny gear?
Focus on fundamentals: a hook, line, water, and clear goals for what you want to achieve; gear can be nice but isn't the key to catching fish.
