Michigan's Shortest Fishing Season Ends in Just 48 Minutes Michigan's 2026 Black Lake sturgeon fishing season came and went fast — really fast. The season opened at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7, and wrapped up just 48 minutes later when the six-fish quota was reached in Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties. According to the Department of Natural Resources, anglers landed fish starting at 8:07 a.m., with the final sturgeon harvested right at 8:48. In total, 679 anglers were registered, all competing in what's known as the shortest fishing season in the state. The largest catch was a 67-inch female sturgeon weighing just over 79 pounds. The other five fish ranged from about 53 to 64 inches long, weighing between 40 and 78 pounds. Each angler was allowed to keep just one fish and had to report it immediately. The season automatically closed once the sixth fish was taken, with anglers alerted by text and by DNR staff on the ice. Black Lake's sturgeon season is famous for its speed. Last year it lasted only 17 minutes, while in 2023 it stretched to just over an hour. In 2024, the season was canceled entirely because of unsafe ice. Lake sturgeon are among the oldest fish species in the Great Lakes, and their numbers dropped sharply in the past due to overfishing and habitat loss. Strict regulations and decades of restoration work have helped rebuild the population, allowing Michigan to continue this tightly controlled, blink-and-you-miss-it fishing tradition.

Natural Resources Police and Wildlife and Heritage Service crews were called out around 6:30 p.m. after the hunters' boat became inoperable in icy conditions. Temperatures were in the teens and low 20s, with strong winds, and thick ice prevented local fire crews from reaching them by water or boat ramp. Officials believe the hunters had completed their hunt and were heading back when they ran into trouble — either mechanical issues or ice that moved in after the shoot. A helicopter crew was already nearby but decided it was too dangerous to hoist the hunters due to high winds. Instead, rescuers launched an airboat from a nearby campground. The river is about a half-mile wide at that location, a well-known but risky late-season duck hunting area. All six hunters were safely brought back in two trips, checked by EMS, and returned to their vehicles. While it's unclear what happened to their boat — or whether they harvested any ducks — officials say it's a last-day hunt the group won't forget, and one they were fortunate to survive.

Wisconsin Assembly Rep. Jill Billings hopped on La Crosse Talk PM on Wednesday from Madison to describe what she called the most chaotic end to a legislative session of her 15-year career. Most of the conversation centered on the volume of bills moving through committee and the frenetic pace for lawmakers, staff, and lobbyists, as Republicans have scheduled legislative work to conclude for the rest of 2026 on Feb. 19 ahead of the upcoming campaign season. In these final days, Billings has seen three of her bills pass through committee and hopes they receive a vote from the full Legislature and reach the governor’s desk. The bills that cleared committee were AB 1000 out of Children and Families, while AB 957 and AB 958 passed through Criminal Justice and Public Safety. Billings is also hoping to see her Water Notification Act advance — a bill that would require the DNR to notify local health departments within seven days of discovering contaminated well water.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Date: 02/10/26Name of podcast: Dr. PatientEpisode title and number: 27 Healthcare Paperwork That's Worth Your TimeSummaryIn this episode of the Dr. Patient Podcast, Dr. Heather Johnston discusses the importance of understanding and managing healthcare paperwork. She emphasizes the need for patients to take control of their healthcare by completing essential forms such as medical history, HIPAA authorizations, power of attorney for healthcare, and living wills. The episode provides insights into how these documents can protect patients' rights and wishes, especially in critical situations where they may be incapacitated. Dr. Johnston also offers resources for listeners to access these forms and encourages proactive engagement in their healthcare decisions.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Patient Empowerment03:04 Understanding Healthcare Paperwork15:14 Navigating Advanced Directives28:56 Summary and Resources for PatientsResourcesLink to ALL formsKeywordspatient empowerment, healthcare paperwork, HIPAA, advanced directives, medical history, power of attorney, living will, patient rights, healthcare wishes, healthcare communicationWebsite: www.drpatientpodcast.comEmail: drpatientpodcast@gmail.com
In this month's journal club episode, we tackle a topic every EMS educator and clinician wrestles with: how do you honor a patient's end-of-life wishes when they call 911? We unpack a structured review of U.S. EMS protocols and the wide variation in what counts as a valid Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, from physician-signed forms to bracelets, POLST-style documents, and even verbal orders. We'll discuss how these differences can lead to moral distress and affect goal-concordant care, and why understanding the nuances of DNR documentation matters for field providers, system leaders, and anyone who wants to ensure patient wishes are respected in the out-of-hospital setting.

"When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." — William Shakespeare, Romeo and JulietA Conversation with Dr. Adam Rizvi - What happens when a physician who witnesses death daily discovers it holds no power over love?Dr. Adam Rizvi is a critical care physician and neurointensivist whose decades on the frontlines of America's ICUs have given him an intimate understanding of mortality —and its transcendence. In his luminous book Love Does Not Know Death, he offers a radically compassionate guide to meeting our greatest fear without flinching, drawing on both his clinical experience and deep contemplative practice rooted in A Course in Miracles.Based in California, Dr. Rizvi leads hospital teams, teaches workshops on awakening and end-of-life care, and co-hosts the spirituality podcast Letters to the Sky. His work invites us into a grounded, loving community devoted to transforming grief into peace and remembering love's enduring presence.From the Book: One of the most extraordinary accounts in Love Does Not Know Death is a Shared Death Experience Dr. Rizvi had at a patient's bedside: Despite the chest tube being placed and multiple liters of blood being transfused, it became clear to me that this young man would be unlikely to survive. Then, almost imperceptibly at first, in the stillness at the foot of his bed, I could feel the young man standing next to me, looking at his body. I sensed him to my right and slightly above, floating. I turned briefly and saw a faint outline but could not see distinct features. I could hear him, though. He asked, "Is that me?" In my mind, I responded, "That's your body. But it's not you." — Chapter 7, page 122On Practicing from a Different Place: Writing on Substack, Dr. Rizvi reflects: "I still order CT scans and adjust ventilator settings. I still have difficult conversations about prognosis and place DNR orders. But I've learned to do all of it from a different place—not from fear of death, but from trust in something that death cannot touch."Learn More:

Chris Lawrence opens this episode of West Virginia Outdoors with a wintery scene from the Greer Lime Company Studio before turning the focus to Groundhog Day at the West Virginia Wildlife Center in French Creek. New center manager Mark Biller previews the 49th annual celebration, explains the biology of groundhogs as true hibernators, and walks through how French Creek Freddy makes his prediction. The show then shifts south to an in-depth update on West Virginia's elk herd, as DNR elk project leader Randy Kelly explains winter darting operations, herd health, calf numbers, tracking collars, and why strong mast conditions have scattered elk across the landscape. In the final segment, Lawrence crosses the Ohio River to discuss a severe EHD outbreak with Ohio Wildlife Officer Chris Gilke, examining how the disease devastated deer numbers in Meigs County and highlighting a community-driven venison donation effort to support local food pantries. A wide-ranging, informative episode that blends wildlife science, conservation, tradition, and community impact.
FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1313 Murdered by Protocol: COVID and the NHS Death Machine For years, we were told the greatest threat to humanity was a virus. But what if the real danger wasn't the pathogen—it was the protocol? Tonight on Strange Planet, Richard Syrett ventures into one of the darkest, least examined chapters of the COVID era. Drawing on firsthand testimony, medical records, and hard data, this episode investigates allegations that thousands of vulnerable patients in the UK's National Health Service may not have died from COVID, but because of policy-driven medical decisions. Sedation. Isolation. Denial of treatment—carried out under emergency authority and bureaucratic language. GUESTS: Jacqui Deevoy is an investigative journalist and filmmaker who spent decades writing for Britain's mainstream press before becoming persona non grata for asking forbidden questions. During the COVID era, she uncovered alarming patterns inside UK hospitals and care homes—blanket DNR orders, family exclusion, and the widespread use of end-of-life drugs on non-terminal patients. After the sudden death of her own father, Deevoy compiled testimonies from 42 families into Murdered by the State, a chilling civilian record of alleged involuntary euthanasia carried out under emergency powers. Richard Cox is an author, researcher, and host of The Deep State Consciousness Podcast. As co-editor of Murdered by the State, Cox provides the book's analytical backbone, examining excess mortality data, NHS protocols, drug procurement records, and historical precedents like the Liverpool Care Pathway. His work frames the COVID death surge not as medical chaos, but as systemic compliance—raising disturbing questions about how policy, not pathology, may have driven outcomes, and why those powers never fully disappeared.

One of the country's most fundamental environmental laws is under threat. President Trump is rolling back the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA.NEPA requires federal agencies to consider a project's potential environmental impacts before deciding whether to approve it. The Trump administration says scaling back NEPA would bring infrastructure and energy projects to life without unnecessary delays. Ron Eckstein is very familiar with NEPA. He's a retired state DNR wildlife biologist who spent his career in northern Wisconsin. He saw firsthand how NEPA helped with management of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Eckstein is also a founding member of Wisconsin's Green Fire, a group that promotes science-based management of our state's natural resources. He joins WUWM environmental reporter Susan Bence.

https://www.outdoornews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Jan-17-long-show.mp3 Kicking off this week's show is Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman who recap the 2026 Minnesota DNR Roundtable held on Friday, Jan. 9 in Brooklyn Center. They break down one of the biggest topics to emerge from the event: the DNR's formal proposal for a 4-fish statewide walleye limit. Then Glen Schmitt, the man behind the Outdoor News fishing report, provides insight into how the ice-fishing season has gone so far, and he offers his opinion on rapidly evolving forward-facing sonar. Tim Lesmeister helps Drieslein wrap up the show with chatter on a host of topics including the latest CWD totals, the backlog of firearms safety training classes, wake boats, and a $3.2 million price tag for a single bluefin tuna in Japan. The post Episode 575 – MN DNR Roundtable, 4-fish walleye limit, Glen Schmitt on ice-fishing, techno-talk appeared first on Outdoor News.
In "The Lead" Jason talks about the latest news over ICE's operations in MN... St. Paul Schools have cancelled some classes... and the DNR is considering cutting the walleye limit.

She’s one of about 20 dairy sanitarians with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Snow's back in the forecast for most of the state of Wisconsin sometime today into the weekend. Stu Muck gives us some estimates on what we could see, and an outlook on the cooling temperatures. Time for a Mid-West Farm Report Ride Along. This time Pam Jahnke accepts an invitation from Syngenta to find out how they're handling the battle against corn rootworms. Brad Bernhard is the technical product lead for agronomic research at the Malta, IL location for Syngenta. He explains that one small insect costs farmers literally billions of dollars globally. Now Syngenta's ready to unleash the latest technology to control the insect through DuraStak. Paid for by Syngenta. The Assembly Agriculture Committee held an executive session on Wednesday and moved 3 bills out of committee for further action. Rep. Clint Moses, vice chair of the committee, explains that some of the items took longer to work through than others. For example, trying to regulate foreign adversary ownership of agricultural or forestry land in the state. He says there were a lot of stakeholders that needed to be a part of that conversation. Data centers have become a routine part of conversations in Wisconsin, including more rural communities. Ben Jarboe visits with Adam Freihoefer, DNR water section manager, about the recently released 2024 Water Use Report. It details how water was used in Wisconsin, and agriculture wasn't the biggest consumer. Freihoefer explains how water use can ebb and flow, depending on a lot of factors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, a retired U.S. Army combat medic shares a chilling firsthand account of unexplained activity deep in the Missouri Ozarks. After moving to a remote area near Shannon County and the Jacks Fork River, he begins experiencing aggressive dog reactions, terrifying guttural growls, tree snaps, clicking sounds, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched.What makes this encounter different is the evidence. The witness recorded audio and video capturing growls, huffing sounds, rapid movement through the woods, and a late-night shotgun blast from a nearby property as something barreled through the valley. He also describes finding footprints, knuckle prints, twisted trees, and a possible kill site, all within a known Ozarks hotspot for Bigfoot activity.The discussion explores months of escalating encounters, interactions with neighbors, and communications with Missouri conservation and DNR personnel, along with why the witness ultimately left the area. This episode dives into the realities of living in remote wilderness, the dangers of unexplained wildlife encounters, and why the Missouri Ozarks continue to produce some of the most compelling Bigfoot reports in the country.
Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.After relocating to Alabama in the wake of Hurricane Michael in October 2018, the man known as Flatrock underwent a profound shift in perspective when he witnessed his first Bigfoot in August 2019. Once a skeptic, he is now convinced that Sasquatches are more than mere legends, claiming they actively live on his own property. This discovery launched him on a dedicated mission to document their existence, utilizing a range of tools from thermal imaging and eerie sound recordings to a collection of intriguing, and often puzzling, photographic and video evidence.Click that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

In this special short-form episode of the UpDuck Podcast, Tyler sits down with two guests for a raw, timely conversation about Wisconsin pheasant hunting, public land pressure, and the reality of DNR stocking. After heading out for a mid-week hunt, guest John Anderson witnesses something many hunters have only heard rumors about: vehicles actively following a DNR pheasant stocking truck and hunters shooting birds almost as soon as they hit the ground. Joined by Dave Nelson, the group breaks down what they saw, why it happens, and how it impacts fair-chase ethics, opportunity, and the overall hunting experience. This episode isn't about pointing fingers — it's about raising awareness, sharing firsthand experiences, and asking the hard questions about access, opportunity, and responsibility on public land. If you've ever hunted stocked pheasants — or have strong opinions about “truck chasers” — this one will hit close to home.

On this edition of West Virginia Outdoors, Chris Lawrence tackles some of the most pressing wildlife issues facing the Mountain State. The show opens with a detailed breakdown of the 2025 EHD outbreak, including an excerpt from Ethan Barton, wildlife disease specialist with the West Virginia DNR, explaining why Mid Ohio Valley counties were hit hardest and why deer populations are expected to recover. Chris also addresses ongoing frustration over the delay in buck harvest numbers, while sharing newly released fall turkey harvest data that shows a significant statewide decline. Later, Colin Carpenter, the DNR's Bear Project Leader, joins the show to explain the growing impact of sarcoptic mange in black bears, how it spreads, what hunters and landowners are seeing, and why a new multi-state research project may finally provide long-term answers. A timely, information-heavy episode focused on science, transparency, and the future of West Virginia's wildlife.

I especially like the ones in a plastic container as when thawing they make No Mess!! UPDATE ON THAT GEORGIA TURKEY HUNTING STORY Update on a story that stirred up hunters across the country. Back in April, a Georgia teen shot what he believed was a wild turkey on his family's 11-acre property. He posted a proud photo online—his very first turkey. But the situation turned upside down when a neighbor, who also happened to be his former teacher, claimed the bird was actually her pet domestic turkey. A Georgia DNR officer investigated and confirmed the hunt happened legally on the teen's own land. No baiting, no violations, nothing illegal. But even after the DNR declined to file charges, the sheriff's office did—charging the teen with felony animal cruelty. That charge led to a school suspension and forced him to move out of state while he waited for his court date. The family said he had no way of knowing the turkey belonged to anyone. It had no tags or markers, and the domestic breed he shot looked similar enough to a wild turkey that a young hunter could easily mistake it. The case sparked a lot of debate in the small town of Waverly Hall and across the hunting community. Many felt the situation had gone way too far. And now the update: In November, a Harris County juvenile court judge found the teen NOT GUILTY, bringing an end to a six-month legal battle. The judge ruled he did not commit the felony he was accused of. So what started as a proud first hunt became a national story—but now, at last, the teen has been cleared.

Fifty-three-year-old Terry Sellers pleaded guilty to multiple wildlife violations after a state investigation found he illegally killed three massive whitetail bucks on prison property in Lauderdale County. The deer had a combined gross score of more than 490 inches. Wildlife officers say the case broke when reports surfaced about a huge 15-point double drop-tine buck known to roam near the penitentiary. Investigators used smartphone location data to link Sellers to the kills. A judge ordered Sellers to pay $17,500 in restitution, $850 for taxidermy costs, and suspended his hunting privileges for six years. The mounted deer heads will be used in educational displays by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Before recording the night's session, the guys talk about Bob's ticket from the DNR, preparing for the arctic blast hitting the mid-west, thanksgiving food, the new Stranger Things season, John Cena's retirement, and more!
A mountain lion has been spotted in Duluth and along the North Shore. Two Duluth schools went into lockdown yesterday because the big cat was nearby. MPR News Duluth bureau reporter Dan Kraker spoke to John Erb, a wildlife researcher with the DNR about where this mountain lion came from and where it may be headed.
Wisconsin had a fairly successful harvest during the recent gun/deer season. Ben Jarboe gets the details from DNR deer program specialist, Jeff Pritzl. He says weather was an overriding factor to hunters' success again this year. He also notes that it appears hunters donated more deer this year, helping local food pantries with increased demand. He says high beef prices might have also encouraged more hunters to share. The warmest temperatures we'll feel today may be early this morning. Stu Muck says there's a chance for a few more flurries in the forecast and cold temps prevail. Farm machinery is holding its value according to Ashley Huhn with the Steffes Group. He tells Pam Jahnke that some items may have retreated as far as prices, but things like tractors are still selling strong. Paid for by Steffes Group. Not all honey producers were thrilled with their 2025 harvest. Chris Hansen of Hansen Honey Farm in Rhinelander is one of them. He tells Stephanie Hoff that weather had a big impact on his bee performance. He said the winter of 2024 going into 2025 was devastating with widespread colony loss. Beekeepers had to take aggressive action to try and rebuild their hives quickly. That practice generally means production will take a hit. Hanson estimates his harvest was down drastically. He estimates he harvested about 5 pounds per hive when he'd normally expect 45-50 pounds on average. He said he plans to work on diversifying his operation and focus on good fall management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, the team dives deep into what deer camp really means tradition, fatherhood, mentorship, and the lessons that shape us as hunters and as men. Kyle shares how deer camp formed the foundation of his childhood, the place he learned to hunt, bond with his dad, and become part of something bigger than himself. The crew opens up about the importance of strong male role models, the value of outdoor traditions, and a heartbreaking story of a young boy whose excitement for opening day was crushed when his father didn't show. It's an honest reminder of what kids need from us commitment, presence, and guidance and how the outdoors can bring families together. In this Podcast we discuss: • The spiritual connection of harvesting your first deer • Generational lessons learned at deer camp • The decline of hunters in America and why it matters • The ethics of the shot, field care, and respecting the game • First-time duck hunting stories and learning moments • Wild game myths and why so many people think venison tastes bad • Vegan vs. hunter debates and the reality of where food comes from • Great Lakes water issues, pollution concerns • Behind-the-scenes insight into filming Wilderness Chronicles Watch Kyle debate a Vegan on the morality of hunting and eating meat: https://youtu.be/U3bxHVI3IMY?si=ym0PRQVL0VwFdzqZ Learn more about what Michigan's DNR is spending their budget on from State Rep Tom Kunsze: https://youtu.be/jGDa4KycJ_U?si=Z7Rm492ThH2Z8tYz Check out Kyle on Mike Avery's Outdoor Magazine Radio Show talking about youth hunting: https://mikeaveryoutdoors.libsyn.com/outdoor-magazine-radio-112225-0 Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: - HISTORY Follow us on: - Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - Youtube - Our Website
On this edition of West Virginia Outdoors, Chris Lawrence delivers a full morning of hunting and fishing stories from across the Mountain State — starting with the show open and moving through four big-buck interviews and a river-run “best of” fishing segment.Segment 1 – Show Open:Chris kicks off the show with listener shout-outs from across the country and previews four remarkable West Virginia buck stories. He sets the stage with updates from elk camps, podcast listeners abroad, and a rundown of where each of the day's featured hunters took their deer.Segment 2 – Jamie Suko, Braxton County:Jamie Suko proves you don't need a large tract of land to harvest a trophy buck. From just over two acres behind her home, she tags a big 10-point she and her husband had tracked for a year. She walks Chris through the hunt, the nerves, the shot at 30 yards, and the fast recovery — all while juggling a toddler back at the house.Segment 3 – Hayden Blankenship, Wyoming County:Next up is Hayden Blankenship, who takes a Southern West Virginia bow-only county giant — a 10-point buck he'd documented for more than a year. Hayden describes near-misses from the previous season, velvet photos, and the dramatic opening-day encounter when the deer fed five yards from his blind before presenting a perfect shot.Segment 4 – “Best Of” River Fishing with Larry Nibert:Chris heads out on the water with Larry Nibert of The West Virginia Experience for a replay of one of the show's most popular fall fishing conversations. They discuss reading river water, locating smallmouth pockets, cold-weather gear, and why sudden temperature drops produce trophy fish. Along the float, they break down lure selection, turbidity, oxygen levels, and navigating the ledges of the New River. Savannah even hooks multiple fish during the interview.Segment 5 – “Best Of” Fur Tanning with Keith Daniels:The show closes with a visit to the West Virginia Trappers Convention, where fur buyer Keith Daniels explains the science behind properly scraping, drying, and preparing pelts. Chris asks about common mistakes trappers make, how long pelts stay on stretchers, and the chemistry of pickling and tanning. Daniels details how furs are transformed into lightweight, flexible leather ready for the garment trade.

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason talks with Brianne Hurst about losing her dad, Peter J. Myers, and the chaos that followed. She had to navigate medical decisions, the DNR, plan the funeral, and step into responsibility for her younger brother while she was still in shock. They talk about how grief makes you skeptical of everything — including the medium who literally read Peter's obituary back to her — and how easy it is to numb yourself just to make it through a day. Brianne shares the things that still connect her to her dad — his recorded Bigfoot story, his Con Air stunt memory — and how losing him changed how she sees life, death, and herself. This episode is raw, blunt, and honest about what grief actually looks like.
