Have any of you watched the movie “The Notebook”?  At the end, one of the characters, who has dementia, experiences an episode of lucidity.  When I watched it, between tears (I'm a complete softie) I remember thinking, “Oh no! This will give people false hope!  That their loved one is ‘in there.' If only they could find the right key to unlock the lock and let them out.” Today we talk about lucid episodes and what they might mean to the person with dementia, their family and loved ones, to philosophers, to clinicians, to neuroscientists. Our guests are Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi, a nurse researcher, and Andrew Peterson, a philosopher. We had a wide ranging discussion that touched on (among many things): A consensus definition developed at an NIH conference, organized by the recently retired NIA program officer Basil Eldadah (we will miss you Basil!). Andrew complicates this definition, stating is raises more questions than answers. Hospice nurses know that terminal lucidity “is a thing” and have pretty much all  seen it Family and caregiver stories of lucid episodes and what they meant to them, including early glimpses into a study Andrea is doing using video to capture episodes and show them to family. Potential for experiences to elicit “false hope”, misunderstanding/misinterpreting, and changing say code status from DNR to full code (rare but happens). Sam Parnia's work on brain activity during CPR and near death episodes Ethical issues these lucid episodes raise  Should clinicians treat people with dementia as always lucid? Having some level of awareness?  Parallels between how we treat people with advanced dementia, who may or may not be lucid, and how we treat AI, who may or may not be conscious, or experiencing paradoxical lucidity on their way to full consciousness.  I try to say please and thank you to the AI I interact with other than Alexa, who is obviously way behind. The Age of Aging podcast episode on lucidity, featuring Anne Bastings, Jason Karlawish, Elizabeth Donnarumma, and Justin Clapp Was Andrew's song choice, “I can see clearly now” better than Eric's suggestion “Silent Lucidity” by Queensryche?   Enjoy! -Alex Smith  

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with his long time hunting/fishing buddy, Logan Steinhoff, to tell the story of how they both punched their 5th period turkey tags, and  capped off their season!

There has been a lot of chatter lately about changing the Minnesota walleye limit from 6 to 4. Currently, the 6 fish limit was set in 1956, with the rapid advances in sonar technology, boats, and angling hours…is it time for a change? In this week's episode, we sit down with Nate Blasing, guide and member of the Brainerd Walleye Alliance, to hear about his role in spearheading this movement. We also interview MNDNR Regional Fisheries Manager Brian Nerbonne, to get an idea of what anglers and stakeholders think of a possible change. We also touch on what current data collection strategies would help the DNR decide on this in the future.   Presented by: Strike Master (rapala.com/us_en/strikemaster), On-X Fish (onxmaps.com/fish), & Arnesen's Rocky Point Resort (arnesens.com/)

This podcast discusses several key wildlife management issues in Michigan, with Jordan Hoover sharing updates on recent policy changes and ongoing challenges. The Deer Advisory Team (DAT), which replaced the previous DMI, successfully pushed through new regulations for 2025 including restoring archery doe tags in the Upper Peninsula's superior watershed and extending late archery season to January 1st. The discussion also covered controversial topics like wolf management and goose control, with Jordan explaining the complexities around wolf hunting regulations and expressing concerns about the DNR's goose gassing program. Jordan is working with legislators to make Natural Resources Commission meetings more accessible by proposing Saturday meetings and virtual participation options for UP residents, addressing the current system's financial barriers for working-class hunters to participate in policy discussions.

What does “code status” really mean — and how does it affect the care we receive at the end of life? In this episode, Dr. Matthew Tyler returns to clarify common misunderstandings about CPR, DNR, and medical interventions during serious illness and the frailty of old age. We explore when full code makes sense, when it probably doesn't, and how patients and families can make informed, values-based decisions. We also discuss Dr. Tyler's new caregiver coaching services, through which he offers personalized support when palliative care isn't available locally. I think everyone should explore these issues and have someone like Dr Tyler on their team to talk things through!⁠https://howtotrainyourdoctor.com/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/people/How-to-Train-Your-Doctor/100095193314200/?sk=reels_tab⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/howtotrainyourdoctor/⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@howtotrainyourdoctor⁠

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 349 - Bridging the Gap: Hunters and Management Policies In this episode, Adam  discusses the complexities of deer management in Michigan with guests Josh Arbogast and Jordan Hoover. They explore the challenges faced by hunters and the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) in managing deer populations, the importance of accurate data reporting, and the role of community engagement in shaping hunting regulations. The conversation highlights the division among hunters, the impact of social media, and the biological implications of current deer management policies. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges and responsibilities faced by sportsmen in Michigan regarding conservation and wildlife management. They emphasize the importance of navigating bureaucratic processes, the legacy of conservation, and the need for active engagement in decision-making. The discussion highlights the significance of presence in meetings, the role of legal challenges, and the responsibility of sportsmen to advocate for their interests. The speakers encourage listeners to participate in upcoming Natural Resources Commission meetings and to take an active role in stewardship.Takeaways There's a significant division among hunters regarding deer management. Visual representation of data can help bridge communication gaps. Accurate reporting of deer harvest is crucial for effective management. The UP Deer Advisory Team plays a vital role in addressing deer issues. Community engagement is essential for changing perceptions about deer management. Biological health of the deer herd is impacted by current policies. The deer population dynamics in the UP are complex and require careful management. Old management policies may no longer be effective in today's context. Hunters need to adapt to changing conditions and data. The DNR relies on hunters to help manage deer populations effectively. The bureaucracy in conservation must be just and fair. Engagement in the decision-making process is crucial for sportsmen. Stewardship goes beyond financial contributions; it requires active participation. Awareness of the challenges faced by the hunting community is essential. Complacency has led to a decline in advocacy for conservation. Presence in meetings can influence decisions and represent sportsmen's interests. Education and outreach are vital for increasing awareness in the hunting community. Legal challenges can be costly and may not always benefit the cause. Building a community of engaged sportsmen is necessary for effective advocacy. Personal stories can be powerful in influencing decision-makers. https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai (https://www.spartanforge.ai/)  - save 25% with code bowhunter   https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com (https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/) s https://www.zingerfletches.com (https://www.zingerfletches.com/) https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com (https://www.lucky-buck.com/) https://www.bigshottargets.com (https://www.bigshottargets.com/)   https://genesis3dprinting.com (https://genesis3dprinting.com/) https://vitalizeseed.com (https://vitalizeseed.com/) https://waypointtv.com/#podcast  If you like what we are doing and want to see more, please consider checking out our Patreon account. Any funds generated through our Patreon account are funneled right back into the podcast to help fund equipment, hosting fees and gear for reviews and giveaways and as always future hunts.  http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon http://bit.ly/BowhunterChroniclesPodcas https://huntworthgear.com/?utm_source=Pro+Staff&utm_medium=Direct+Link&utm_campaign=Preseason+Sale Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever wondered about the potential impact of surgery and anesthesia on cognitive function? Today's show will discuss the complexities of Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders (PND), a term encompassing conditions like postoperative delirium (POD), postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), and delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR). Through insightful discussions rooted in the latest research, we aim to shed light on: The prevalence and impact of PND, drawing from studies highlighting its occurrence after various surgical procedures. Potential risk factors that may make individuals more susceptible to developing PND. Innovative approaches for prevention and management, including the investigation of medications like dexmedetomidine and anesthetic techniques such as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol, which some studies suggest may have neuroprotective properties. The intricate underlying mechanisms of PND, exploring the roles of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and even insulin signaling in the central nervous system. The use of monitoring techniques like electroencephalography (EEG) to better understand and potentially mitigate neurocognitive complications. The importance of early identification and comprehensive care for individuals experiencing PND.

Writer Tamara Dean knew she wanted to live lightly on the planet. Her search to live a productive life while lowering her carbon footprint led her to the Driftless Area of Wisconsin — also known as Bluff Country and the Paleozoic Plateau — with dreams of become a homesteader. Dean shares her experience in her new memoir “Shelter and Storm: At Home in the Driftless.” She spoke to MPR chief meteorologist Paul Huttner for Climate Cast.The transcript below has been lightly edited for clarity and length.What prompted you to write this book? I had been spending most of my days in an office, like a lot of people in front of computers, and my partner, David, and I decided we wanted to live healthier lifestyles. We also wanted to live out our environmental principles. We didn't know where exactly we wanted to start over, but when we drove around the Driftless Area, which is mostly in the southwestern corner of Wisconsin, we recognized that this was a place where we wanted to live. You talk about being a citizen scientist in your book. What does that mean to you? A citizen scientist is someone who volunteers to study nature. In places like Wisconsin, where the Department of Natural Resources really doesn't have the funding and staffing to cover every species in the state, a citizen scientists can fill that gap and provide information to help professional scientists do their work. It's not only a rewarding opportunity for people, but it's also helpful for the state. We were citizen water monitors for the little river behind our house, and I became interested in surveys for fresh water mussels. They are some of the most endangered creatures in North America, but citizen scientists are studying where they're still thriving and that helps the people at the DNR know where to focus their efforts in helping their habitat. What do you think about the progress we've made on climate solutions so far? I think we have an over-estimation of our potential for solving the climate crisis with technology. It's definitely a necessary component of addressing the climate situation, but we also need to look at reducing our own footprints. There are ways we can do that pretty simply, whether it be reducing our travel, reducing our birth rate, or examining our diets. It doesn't have to be a hardship. It can be something easy and satisfying. You don't have to take it all on either. I think it can be a joy as well. What message do you have for anyone who wants to bring their life more in tune with our planet and our climate? I would recommend indulging your curiosity. Find what has energy for you — whether it's a particular type of landscape or a particular species — and immerse yourself in learning about that. I often think it's a shame that we think we have to go to Mars to learn something new, because all around us there are mysteries to pursue. I hope that's what my book leaves readers with. The idea that you can walk out your door and be curious and open-minded. And find a mystery that will ignite your own curiosity and passion, and pursue that to create your own story out of it.

A rainy start to the day…some sun later this afternoon. Today is Tax Day, so hopefully you got all the appropriate forms and remembered to put a stamp on that envelope. We went over a list of deals you can take advantage of today, along with some other stats & info on Tax day. Plus, Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports show joined us just after 8am to recap his trip to Iceland and talk Wisconsin sports! In the news this morning, the municipal clerk in Madison who's being investigated for missing ballots has resigned, the DNR has suspended burn permits in 24 counties in the state, an all-female crew went to "space" yesterday aboard Blue Origin, and the Trump administration is freezing $2.2 billion in funding to Harvard University. In sports, the Brewers lost to the Tigers last night, Paige Bueckers went #1 in the WNBA draft, and the NBA Playoffs kick off tonight with the play-in tourney tonight. Elsewhere in sports, you can now check out a Joe Mauer statue outside Target Field, Aaron Judge will be the Captain for Team American in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and Vice President JD Vance almost destroyed the Ohio State College Football National Championship trophy yesterday during the team's White House visit. A pet turtle that went missing during a tornado has been found & returned home safely, a Philly police officer is in the news for saving a five year-old kid who wandered onto the roof of his house, and a woman is walking across the country to raise money & awareness for Alzheimer's. Talked about what's on TV tonight and let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a naked man running around a Disney park, a woman who pretended to be mute for sixteen years to collect disability benefits, a man who vandalized a woman's home & vehicle a YEAR after they were involved in a vehicular accident, a mom who left her daughter in her car after she drunkenly crashed into an irrigation canal, and a #FloridaMan who shot himself to try & gain sympathy from a female coworker.

Senator Patrick Testin has taken the reins of the Wisconsin Senate Committee for Agriculture and Revenue. Although not from a farming background, Testin says he's always had a healthy appreciation for Wisconsin agriculture and rural life, and already has some priorities he wants addressed. He tells Pam Jahnke about his path to the position, and how he's already focused attention on seed potato production in the state and continuing a grazing pilot program that helps new farmers investigate that option. Wind continues to be the dominant element of Wisconsin weather today according to Stu Muck.More policy is being developed at the state capitol focused on rural Wisconsin. Stephanie Hoff catches up with Rep. Travis Tranel, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Agriculture. One item that's been getting a lot of attention is locating solar arrays on valuable farmland. Tranel says he's working to find some policy guidelines that will work to protect that farmland. Wisconsin's DNR is soliciting applications for their Wolf Advisory Committee. Pam Jahnke reports that the DNR is specifically filling spots from 5 different stakeholder groups, and expects members to attend all meetings, come prepared and be willing to collaborate. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing out of West Bend, joins Pam Jahnke. The U.S. corn market has remained resilient to all the global discussion of tariffs. Heinberg says China focusing all its buying power on places outside of the U.S. has actually driven other global buyers TO the U.S. market. He also notes that you can't ignore the progress that's been made on soybean harvest in South America and that the market is screaming "do not plant beans".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Live from the brand-new Charleston studio, Chris Lawrence kicks off this week's West Virginia Outdoors with two jaw-dropping fish tales—one about a state-record tiger trout caught at Mannington Lake, and another about a hybrid striper returned to Tennessee waters despite breaking the record. Plus, DNR biologist Jeff Hansbarger joins the show to detail the flood damage to boat ramps across southern West Virginia and the new river access site in Clendenin. Chris also previews the upcoming spring gobbler season with DNR's Mike Peters.

Early in my research career, I was fascinated by the (then) frontier area of palliative care in the emergency department.  I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here? This is not why I went into emergency medicine. I went into emergency medicine to act. I can't do the primary thing I've been trained to do: ABC, ABC, ABCs.  Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didn't have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it. Today we focus on an intervention, published in JAMA, that gave emergency clinicians basic palliative care knowledge, training, and skills.  We talk with Corita Grudzen and Fernanda Bellolio about their cluster stepped wedge randomized trial of a palliative care intervention directed at emergency clinicians.  They got training in Vital Talk and ELNEC.  They got a decision support tool that identified hospice patients or those who might benefit from a goals of care discussion.  They got feedback. So did it matter?  Hmmm….it depends.  We are fortunate to have Tammie Quest, emergency and palliative trained and long a leader in this space, to help us unpack and contextualize these findings. Today we discuss: Why the study was negative for the primary (hospitalization) and all secondary outcome (e.g. hospice use). Why to emergency clinicians, this study was a wild success because they had the skills they wanted/needed to feel like they could do the right thing (during the onset of Covid no less). Why this study was a success due to the sheer size (nearly 100,000 patients in about 30 EDs) of the study, and the fact that, as far as the investigators know, all study sites continue to employ the clinical decision support tool. What is a cluster stepped wedge randomized trial?  Were they surprised by the negative findings? How do we situate this study in the context of other negative primary palliative care interventions, outside the ED?  E.g. Yael Shenker's negative study of primary palliative care for cancer, Randy Curtis's negative study of a Vital Talk-ish intervention, Lieve Van den Block's negative study of primary PC in nursing homes. Why do so many (most, all??) primary palliative care interventions seem to fail, whereas specialized palliative care interventions have a relatively robust track record of success. Should we give up on primary palliative care?  What's next for primary palliative care interventions in the ED? And if your Basic Life Support training certification is due, you can practice the correct chest compression rate of 110 beats per minute to Another One Bites the Dust. -Alex Smith

Today's episode is all about post-fire—how to plan and prepare for post-fire challenges like debris flows and landslides, how to recover at a community and landscape scale, how to maintain a love of place after it's impacted by fire, and how we can reduce suffering in this often dynamic phase of wildfire response and recovery.Our guest on this topic is Collin Haffey, the Post Fire Recovery Program Manager for the Washington DNR, who prior to working with the DNR worked as the Forest and Watershed Health Coordinator for the New Mexico Forestry Division during the catastrophic 2022 Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire. This fire burned over 340,000 acres in largely rural areas that were also, subsequently, impacted by intense debris flows and mudslides, spurred by monsoonal rain events only weeks after the fire burned through the area. These debris flows were in many cases more devastating to residents in these areas than the fires themselves—they destroyed wells and water systems, devastated roads and other infrastructure and destroyed hundreds of homes, including century-old adobe homes that had housed multiple generations of native New Mexicans. If you're interested in learning more about the HP-CC Fire, I highly recommend the in-depth reporting of Patrick Lohmann at Source NM. I also wrote about the post-fire impacts of the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon, as well as potential policy solutions, for Land Lines Magazine back in 2023. For some background: post-fire concerns range from erosion and flooding events that can have major impacts on infrastructure and watersheds (and systems), but also includes the process of reforestation, erosion reduction and reducing the incursion and spread of invasive species in delicate post-fire landscapes. How communities prepare and plan for these challenges can make an immense difference in how quickly they recover, and Collin's work focuses heavily on encouraging communities to better prepare not just for wildfire, but for what comes after it. One of Collin's biggest projects at present is the After the Fire Washington website, where you can find tried-and-true recovery practices, resources for landowners, community members and community leaders, case studies and other information. Finally, if you'd like to read a bit more about Collin's experiences and insights gained from seeing the HP-CC Fire impacts first hand, check out this great blog post he wrote for the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network: Stuck in the Mud: Gaps in Post-Fire Recovery Programs - Fire Adapted Communities Learning NetworkTimestamps: 00:00 - Episode Start 00:38 - Amanda Monthei Intro 06:54 - Start of conversation—Collin's background 08:17 - Gaps In post-fire conversation, preparedness and planning 09:57 - Lessons From Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire12:41 - Good examples of post-fire response 14:25 - Need someone to direct post-fire tasks16:14 - Is the only way to learn about recovery through experience? 16:52 - Suppression vs. recovery teams—a need for both18:39 - The importance of community recovery collaboratives 21:00 - Developing a CWPP 24:35 - Overthinking CWPP documents26:35 - Common post-Fire challenges 29:02 - Managing mental & emotional trauma (both community and practitioner) during the post-fire period33:12 - How community and resident relationships to the land change after wildfires32:33 - Fostering a love of place after (and despite) wildfire35:03 - Getting community involved in post-fire preparedness36:43 - Disconnect between FEMA & local organizations 38:36 - What does a community that is well-prepared for post fire challenges look like?

The Nurse, the Lie, and the $1.5 Million Motive She told her patient she had terminal cancer. But she didn't. Then she injected her with insulin and sat by while she died. This story out of Highland, Utah, doesn't need any dramatic buildup—it's already that shocking. On August 12, 2024, a 911 call came in from a man named Mark Farnsworth. He told dispatchers his niece was unconscious, gasping for air like she was drowning, and that she had “major, major health issues.” Her name was Kacee Lyn Terry, 38 years old. When police arrived at the home, they found Kacee unresponsive in a bedroom. She wasn't alone. Sitting right there next to her was 47-year-old Meggan Randall Sundwall, a registered nurse who claimed Kacee had been in that state for “a couple of hours.” She told officers that Kacee had terminal cancer and had signed a do-not-resuscitate order. She said Kacee didn't want to go to the hospital. Sounds like a complicated end-of-life scenario, right? Except everything Sundwall said was a lie. Kacee Terry never had cancer. There was no DNR. No power of attorney. No medical records backing up any of it. Her own primary care doctor confirmed it. Let's rewind. Kacee was transported to Mountain Point Hospital and paramedics noticed something didn't add up. First, they found a diabetic needle near her. But Kacee wasn't diabetic. When they checked her blood sugar level, it came back at 14—dangerously low. Anything under 40 is considered life-threatening. Doctors worked to stabilize her in the ICU, but the damage had already been done. Three days later, on August 15, Kacee was declared brain-dead and died. When doctors asked the family about her medical history, Kacee's sister told them she had terminal cancer and had been dealing with it for four or five years. That's what she had been told. But then came the hard truth from Kacee's actual doctor: there had never been a cancer diagnosis. And when the autopsy results came back, it confirmed it—no cancer, no major health problems, nothing. So where did this whole narrative come from? Enter Meggan Sundwall. Police started digging. They found a disturbing thread of over 28,000 texts between Meggan and Kacee, going all the way back to 2019. In these texts, Sundwall repeatedly talked about suicide, telling Kacee that if she were in her shoes, she'd kill herself. She even allegedly offered to “help” Kacee die—framing it as a kind of mercy killing while casually mentioning how her death could solve her money issues. Yeah. That kind of help. Then investigators discovered that shortly after Kacee's death, Sundwall deleted over 900 messages from her phone and began searching for Kacee's life insurance policy. According to the police report, Sundwall believed she was the beneficiary of a $1.5 million policy on Kacee. Let's take a moment here: this wasn't a heat-of-the-moment thing. According to Kacee's family, they'd suspected for years that Sundwall had been plotting something. And the evidence found in those text messages seems to suggest this wasn't some spontaneous act—it was calculated, groomed, and dragged out across years under the guise of friendship or caretaking. When it was time to act, Sundwall allegedly administered a fatal dose of insulin—unprescribed, unauthorized, and ultimately lethal—and just sat there while her so-called friend slipped into a coma. Police arrested Meggan Randall Sundwall on charges of first-degree aggravated murder and third-degree obstruction of justice. She's now being held in Utah County Jail without bail. Cold-blooded, deliberate, and allegedly driven by money. And all of it hidden behind a nurse's badge and a fabricated cancer diagnosis. #TrueCrime #NurseAllegations #LifeInsuranceMurder #UtahCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The state’s Department of Natural Resources says it’s coming up with backup plans to address the growing threat of serious wildfires in Washington. This, as it's typically close working relationship with federal forest managers has frayed under the Trump Administration. Some of this started in mid-February, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture cut thousands of probationary employees at the U.S. Forest Service. The USDA is in charge of stewarding places like the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest. Altogether, about 2,000 employees across the country were fired. The USDA emphasized that no “operational firefighters” had been let go, and argued the critical work of responding to wildfires would not be interrupted. But an organization called Grassroots Wildland Firefighters estimated that three-quarters of the employees laid off had secondary wildland firefighting duties, meaning firefighting wasn’t their primary job, but they were pulled in to fight fires as needed. Soundside has heard directly from laid off workers at the Forest Service based here in Washington who have wildland firefighting certifications of various levels. They say they are in limbo right now, even after there have been multiple court orders to reinstate fired federal workers -- at least, temporarily. They’re ringing alarm bells about the loss of manpower for this fire season. All of this puts Washington’s DNR into a tough spot. The department oversees wildfire prevention and response on state lands, usually working closely with the federal government. Soundside was joined by Dave Upthegrove, Washington's Commissioner of Public Lands, and State Forester George Geissler.

Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down with freshwater fishing hall of fame and fly fishing guru Mark Van Patton at Big Rock Candy Mountain to discuss the Missouri Trout Opener.Every year thousands of die-hard anglers line the banks at one of Missouri's trout parks for the opening day of catch-and-keep trout season. In years past, anglers have faced frigid winter temperatures, snow, sleet and ice, as well as sunshine and springlike weather all in the attempt of catching an elusive lunker. This Missouri tradition not only creates memories, but some of the biggest fish stories you've ever heard!The opening of the catch-and-keep trout fishing season on March 1 is an important Missouri tradition, marking the beginning of a season that runs until Oct. 31. The season officially begins at 6:30 a.m. at Bennett Spring State Park near Lebanon, Montauk State Park near Salem, and Roaring River State Park near Cassville. In addition to premier trout fishing, visitors to the state's trout parks can enjoy miles of hiking trails, lodging and camping options, and on-site dining facilities.For more info:Big Rock Candy Mountain WebsiteSpecial thanks to:Living The Dream Outdoor PropertiesSuperior Foam Insulation LLCDoolittle TrailersScenic Rivers TaxidermyConnect with Driftwood Outdoors:FacebookInstagramYouTubeEmail:info@driftwoodoutdoors.com

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by DNR Fisheries Biologist, Nathan Lederman, to talk all about what makes the fishing up north so exceptional! Nathan is a Wisconsin-native and current DNR Fisheries Biologist for Oneida County. In this conversation, the guys dive into what makes the fishing up north so good from a biological perspective. Nathan shares how the DNR uses a three-legged approach to ecosystem management in order to serve the needs of all stakeholders of the waterways, what a year of fish sampling looks like for a fisheries biologist, the various types of data collected to monitor the growth rates and health of various fish species, what species go underappreciated in some of the most popular areas, the impacts of panfish bag limits, and all of the resources that the DNR puts out to share their findings with the public.
