Randy Prachar, the Minnesota DNR’s Roseau River Wildlife Management Area wildlife supervisor, retired July 5. Prachar spent 36 years with the DNR in various positions, always living his dream of working outdoors and with wildlife. “I decided to go for wildlife management,” Prachar said. “That, I would say, was the dream from when I was a small boy. And jumping quite a bit ahead now, I’ve lived the dream.” This content is restricted to subscribers of OutdoorNews.com.

Steve Hagen has lived on St. Olaf Lake in southeastern Minnesota for 17 years and has never had a problem with the lake. It’s always been a place where his children could swim and he could fish without hesitation. This spring, Hagen noticed a red-brown color in the lake from his backyard. Concerned by the smell and appearance, he contacted the Minnesota DNR for assistance. This content is restricted to subscribers of OutdoorNews.com.

Duluth, Minn. — The U.S. Forest Service added new language to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness permitting last spring, indicating that dogs must be on a leash of 6 feet or less while in developed recreation sites. The change raised questions about whether the rule applies during bird-hunting seasons, when most dogs are off-leash trying to flush birds.

Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council members recently toured two locations funded by the Outdoor Heritage Fund. The sites included Lock and Dam 5 in Minnesota City and Keystone Wildlife Management Area in Hugo and May Township. The tour began at Lock and Dam 5, where $12 million was recommended by the LSOHC and approved by the Minnesota Legislature to construct a deterrent preventing Asian carp passage.

Made my way down to the #MNGFO2024 in Lake City! Coming up soon is the water skiing show. The city is known for its water skiing and yes, they’re planning to ski even with the white caps! I’ll be here to cover the entire weekend. @OutdoorNews @OutdoorsScribe https://t.co/H0rV2NbWaQ

I was at the Minnesota State Capitol today for @MinnesotaDeer’s “Day on the Hill 2024.” There were about 30 members that attended the event. A few legislators visited the group in the morning. A story and photo gallery will come to @OutdoorNews later this week. @OutdoorsScribe https://t.co/1raPMlN4W0
